In the upcoming autumn season, music icons Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani will once again grace the red chairs of "The Voice." NBC made the exciting announcement during its upfront presentation on Monday that Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé will join the esteemed ranks of coaches for the show's highly anticipated 26th season.
Reba McEntire, returning for her third installment, and Gwen Stefani, making her eighth appearance, will bring their unique perspectives and expertise to the competition. Both Snoop and Bublé are no strangers to "The Voice," having previously made appearances on the show. Snoop Dogg served as a "mega mentor" during the show's 20th season, while Bublé advised Blake Shelton's team back in season three.
McEntire's return is particularly noteworthy as it marks a double booking for the Grammy, CMA, and ACM award winner on NBC's weeknight schedule. Mondays and Tuesdays will be filled with the singing talents showcased on "The Voice," while Fridays will feature "Happy's Place," a comedy series starring the multi-award-winning artist herself.
"The Voice" is just one of the exciting collaborations between NBCUniversal and Snoop Dogg in the near future. The rapper and producer will lend his talents to the company's coverage of the Olympics in Paris this summer, and Universal Pictures is developing a biopic about his life, with Allen Hughes set to direct and Joe Robert Cole (of "Black Panther") penning the screenplay. Snoop, Hughes, Brian Grazer, and Sara Ramaker are producing this project, promising a captivating look into the life and music of the legendary artist.
Season 25 of "The Voice" is set to wrap up on May 21, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite singing competition with an all-star coaching panel.
