Core Announcement
NBC has confirmed that the long-running music competition will launch a first-ever celebrity edition, titled “The Voice: Celebrity.” Production is underway, and the season—effectively Season 31 of the franchise—is slated to air in the spring of 2027. Unlike previous installments that feature undiscovered singers, the new format will pit actors, musicians, influencers, athletes, comedians and reality-TV personalities against one another for the inaugural “Voice” celebrity champion title.
Format and New Features
The celebrity season will retain the series’ blind-audition structure while adding several behind-the-scenes segments. “Voice Boot Camp” will follow contestants as they prepare for their blind auditions, the “VIP Room” will capture celebrities watching each other perform, and a “Workroom” will document strategizing, rehearsals and battle-round preparations. These additions aim to give viewers a more immersive look at the celebrity competitors’ journey.
Coaching and Hosting Lineup
- Joe Jonas – making his debut as a coach on the series.
- Queen Latifah – returning coach from the current season.
- Riley Green – returning coach from the current season.
- Keke Palmer – appointed host, replacing longtime host Carson Daly, who will serve as a producer on the celebrity edition.
Carson Daly, who has hosted the show since its 2011 launch, will continue to host the regular edition that returns later this year.
Production Partners
“The Voice” is produced by MGM Alternative (a division of Amazon MGM Studios), Warner Horizon Unscripted Television (a Warner Bros. Television Group company) and ITV Studios. Executive producers include creator John de Mol, along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher and Barry Poznick.
What’s Next
NBC has indicated that celebrity contestants will be announced closer to the premiere. The network’s rollout positions the celebrity edition as a major evolution of the franchise, expanding its proven ratings appeal with a fresh, star-powered competition format.
