‘The Voice’ Is Losing This Long Time Coach Ahead of Season 27

Summary
Reba McEntire won’t return for Season 27 of The Voice.
Adam Levine and Kelsea Ballerini join the judging panel for Season 27.
Season 27 of The Voice is expected to premiere in Spring 2025.
It has been officially revealed via new information about Season 27 of The Voice that Reba McEntire will not be returning as a judge. In the announcement, McEntire’s name was nowhere to be found among the information regarding the judging panel for the upcoming season of the reality competition series. McEntire officially joined The Voice in 2023, replacing the show’s most iconic judge, Blake Shelton. After 23 seasons in the role of coach, Shelton left and a huge star-shaped hole was left. McEntire filled it and then some, with her infectious personality lighting up every episode. Speaking to Newsweek at the time, McEntire said, “It’s a lot of pressure because nobody can replace Blake Shelton. He’s a huge personality and a wonderful person. So I’m just getting in there trying to have fun and represent country music as best I can”.

Levine is not the only eye-catching name on the Season 27 panel, with incoming Season 26 coach Michael Bublé also joined by country singer Kelsea Ballerini, making for a fresh set of faces ready to shake up the show. The 27th season of the NBC hit show is expected to premiere in Spring 2025, so stay tuned to Collider for any information in the meantime.
Reba McEntire looks set to leave The Voice before Season 27. You can catch up on all episodes of the hit singing competition right now on Peacock.
Reba McEntire Secured a Victory in Only Her Second Season
After making her debut in Season 24, Reba McEntire would go on to grab a victory in just her second season after teaming with powerhouse vocalist Asher HaVon. Asher delighted in his initial blind audition, performing a soulful rendition of Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain”. Three judges turned, with Reba interestingly the last to showcase her interest. The pair were a match made in heaven, with Reba’s veteran wisdom helping the Alabama-born Asher through each stage toward the grand finale.
