Time has flown by since The Voice crowned the sibling trio Girl Named Tom the winner of season 21 and made history. Now, fans of the NBC singing competition series are getting antsy after no new episodes premiered this spring. That said, The Voice will be returning in the near future but it won't look quite the same.

Keep on reading to find out more important information about the next season of The Voice, which is shaking up its previous coaching lineup comprised of Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Ariana Grande.

When is The Voice returning to NBC for season 22?

The Voice season 22 will premiere Monday, September 19 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. The show will also air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

On May 13, Blake was the first to announce that the show was returning for new episodes with a TikTok. “#Duet this if you’re going to be a coach on #TheVoice this fall..,” he captioned a TikTok.

Blake may be coming in guns blazing, but he isn't the only one. In a new preview clip released in August, the "God Gave Me You" singer looks like he'll be going toe-to-toe with new coach Camila Cabello During the first glimpse of their chemistry, Blake got a lesson on the way he pronounces the "Bam Bam" songstress' name.

"You pronounce my name wrong," she tells the country musician in the 30-second spot. "He calls me Camelot, Carmichael. Why is this so hard for him?"

But that's only the beginning between these two. Check out the hilarious clip below:

Since its official debut in April 2011, The Voice has had two cycles every year (spring and fall). But in May 2021, ahead of the season 20 finale, NBC announced that The Voice would only be airing one season per year starting in 2022. Now, more than a decade in, the network is thinking of the hit show’s longevity.

“Going into the 21st cycle in the fall, The Voice remains one of the most popular shows on television and we want to keep it that way,” said Frances Berwick, Chairman of Entertainment Networks at NBCUniversal Television, according to Deadline. “We want to eventize this iconic series. We think The Voice will be on NBC for a very long time to come and we believe the best way to protect the brand, while also super-serving fans is to produce one amazing cycle this year.”

Who are The Voice season 22 coaches?

The Voice season 22 coaches are Blake Shelton, John Legend, Gwen Stefani and newcomer Camila Cabello.

Camila is replacing Kelly Clarkson, who joined The Voice in February 2018. She appeared on the series for eight seasons.

When Blake revealed that The Voice would be premiering in the fall, he also encouraged others to duet his TikTok set to MIKA's single "Grace Kelly." Shortly after, John posted a clip of himself singing alongside the "Comeback as a Country Boy" artist. Then, Blake's wife and No Doubt leading lady, Gwen, shared that she was also returning to The Voice with her own singing snippet. The GXVE beauty entrepreneur was previously a coach on the NBC series for five other seasons, including 7, 9, 12, 17 and 19.

Last but not least, Camila confirmed her attendance with a brief but telling cameo in a TikTok duet. With that, it was official that The Kelly Clarkson Show host and season 21 coach Ariana Grande would be departing from The Voice.

Kelly hasn't addressed leaving the show, but her departure isn't completely out of the blue. The American Song Contest co-host previously shared that she wanted to spend more time with her kids (8-year-old daughter River and 6-year-old son Remington) — even if it meant switching up her schedule to do so.

As for Ariana leaving The Voice, she shared in May that she was focusing all of her energy on her upcoming musical movie Wicked.

Who else will be part of the The Voice season 22 cast?

Like every season, each coach chooses a celebrity advisor to help their teams through the battle rounds. This time around is no exception, and the singer The Voice coaches chose have tons of recognition in the music industry.

• Jimmie Allen will join Team Blake as a Battle Advisor. Most recently on Dancing With the Stars, the country singer won the CMA Award for New Artist of the Year in 2021. He also mentored contestants on the last season of American Idol.

• Jazmine Sullivan will assist Team John as they go through the battle rounds. Over the course of her career, Jazmine has won two Grammy Awards, three NAACP Image Awards and a spot on Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2022.

• Sean Paul joins recent collaborator Gwen as her advisor this season. The Grammy winner recently worked with the "Sweet Escape" singer and Shenseea on their new single "Light My Fire."

• Charlie Puth will work with Team Camila throughout the battle rounds this season. The Grammy nominee and Golden Globe winner's album Charlie is set to drop October 7, which will include his latest single "Left and Right."

As soon as NBC dropped the big announcements, the musicians all voiced their excitement for the upcoming new episodes. Charlie, in particular, took to social media to say how thrilled he was for the opportunity to join his friend in this role.

"So excited to be joining #TeamCamila as her Battle Advisor on this season of #TheVoice," he wrote on Twitter while adding an official photo of the duo from set.

Did The Voice drop any spoilers for season 22?

In a new minute-long video, viewers got a glimpse at the new dynamic between Blake, Gwen, John and Camila. The country music singer made it clear that he wasn't threatened by the new coach.

"Best of luck to the other @nbcthevoice coaches this season ... because #TeamBlake is ready to WIN!!!" Blake wrote on TikTok. "#TheVoice premieres September 19th on @NBC!"

So, is Camila joining The Voice a potential threat to the seasoned coaches? Yes, according to John, who initially brought the former Fifth Harmony member on as an advisor for Team Legend during season 21.

"She was on Team Legend as my celebrity guest mentor, and I could tell she was really good at it,” he told NBC Insider in July. “In fact, I told her, 'If a Coach opening ever comes up, you should do it because you'd be great at it.’”

“I've made it harder for myself by allowing her to be my competition,” he continued. “And now, she's coming for the crown. We all should look out."

While the competition is heating up for the judges, The Voice also decided it would shake up the NBC show a little bit by changing the format of the knockout rounds. First, there will be no mega mentor, and the coaches will work directly with their teams to prepare for the challenge. In addition, the round will be a "three-way knockout," making the competition more fiercer than ever before.

We can't wait to watch it all go down!
