The Voice season 26: Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé join as new coaches

NBC's hit singing competition "The Voice" is gearing up for its 26th season, promising more diversity and excitement than ever. 

As the current season approaches its two-part finale in May 2024, fans can look forward to a fresh batch of talented contestants and some significant changes to the coaching panel.

Country music legend Reba McEntire, who first joined the show as a mega mentor in season 23, will return as a permanent judge.

She will be joined by pop icon Gwen Stefani, a longtime favorite on the show.

Adding to the excitement, NBC has confirmed that the new season will also feature debut coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, bringing a diverse range of musical expertise to the stage.

"Bublé, an unstoppable talent known for his world-class showmanship, brings his singular style and vocal power to the dynamic coaching panel," states a press release from the upfronts in May 2024. Fans of "The Voice" will remember Bublé’s previous stint as a season 3 advisor to Team Blake.

Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg, already dubbed Coach Snoop in sports, is set to transfer his coaching prowess from the field to the Voice stage. 

As a mega mentor in season 20, he left a significant mark, and now as a coach, he plans to use his industry experience and unique entertainment approach to elevate the competition.

While an official premiere date for season 26 has yet to be announced, NBC is planning to revamp the show's format, building on the innovative dual mentor approach introduced in season 25. 

Fans can catch the upcoming season live on NBC on Mondays and Tuesdays, with episodes also available for streaming on Peacock.
