The Voice’s New Season 26 Coaches Will Have You Feeling Good

‘Voice’ Coaches Diss “Fake Friend” Blake Shelton

The Voice is switching things up.

The NBC singing competition series is welcoming two new first-time coaches for its upcoming 26th season. Michel Bublé and Snoop Dogg will be claiming their red swivel chairs later this year, the network announced during the 2024 Upfront presentation on May 13.

The “Feeling Good” singer and rap icon will join returning coaches Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani this fall to mentor music industry new-comers in the hopes of winning the season 26 title.

While this marks both Michael and Snoop’s debuts as full-time coaches, the legendary recording artists are no stranger to the show. Michael previously served as a season three advisor to Team Blake Shelton while Snoop appeared on season 20 as the mega mentor.

However, the stars will definitely have stiff competition as season 26 will mark Gwen’s eighth time as coach and Reba’s third consecutive season.

The Voice has made a habit of welcoming fresh faces since longtime coach Blake left the series last year after a whopping 23 seasons.

Reba made her coaching debut during season 24, while Dan + Shay (a.k.a. Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney) became the show’s first coaching duo on the most recent 25th season.

And while Reba has yet to win a season, she previously revealed she’s more than confident with her current group of contestants.

Bridgerton (Netflix) – May 16

From Shondaland and new showrunner, Jess Brownell, Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder. Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly. Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.
