Reba McEntire Will Return To Judge The Next Season Of 'The Voice'—But Guess Who Else Is Coming Back

Plus, two new Coaches will be making their debut in the iconic red chairs.

Great news, Reba fans—the Queen of Country has signed on for her third straight season of The Voice.

Currently in Season 25 and barreling into Hometown Week with nine of the best singers in the country, the popular competition show recently announced plans for next season—debuting this fall on NBC—and the new Coach roster has us seeing stars.

Reba has become a beloved staple on The Voice, always showing up with encouragement for her mentees and a little competitive edge against fellow Coaches John Legend, Chance The Rapper, and duo Dan + Shay. In her first season, in true Southern style, Reba showed up to cheer on her team with freshly fried tater tots. And, in her second season, she brought in chicken tenders. Recently, the country superstar debuted a fiery new single, “I Can’t,” from her forthcoming album. (So, you could say she’s really putting her whole heart and soul into the gig.)

Reba will be the only current Coach returning in Season 26 and—big news—will be joined by none other than Voice alum and three-time Grammy winner Gwen Stefani. Gwen spent seven seasons on the show before taking a break at the end of 2023. Her famous musician husband, Blake Shelton, had been a longtime Voice Coach (23 seasons) before announcing his departure last spring. The two spend much of their time in Oklahoma on Blake’s 1,300-acre farm. Blake is also the stepdad to Gwen’s three sons.

In addition to Reba and Gwen, two other famous names will be joining The Voice cast as first-time Coaches for Season 26: singer-songwriter Michael Bublé and rapper/actor Snoop Dogg. Though new to The Voice, the two rookie Coaches have both established long careers in music entertainment and earned their fair share of accolades.

But, they’ve never had to face Reba McEntire and her signature Southern hospitality. (Heaven help them if they have to go up against a plate full of warm buttermilk biscuits.)

Tune in this fall on NBC to catch Season 26 of The Voice.
