After trying to make stars for 15 years and 30 seasons, The Voice will feature a group of already well-known contestants in 2027.
The NBC singing competition will launch a celebrity edition next year, featuring a group of actors, musicians, athletes, comedians, reality TV stars and influencers showing off their vocal talent. Keke Palmer will host the show, taking the reins of The Voice: Celebrity (the official title) from usual emcee Carson Daly. Palmer also hosts the game show Password for NBC.
Joe Jonas, Queen Latifah and Riley Green will be the coaches for the celebrity season. Jonas will sit in the swivel chair for the first time, while Queen Latifah and Green will stay on after season 30 in the fall, where they’ll serve as coaches alongside Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine.
The Voice: Celebrity will also feature a few additions to the show’s usual format. Viewers will see a Voice boot camp as contestants prep for their blind auditions and a “VIP room” where the group gathers to watch other performances. Prior to the battle rounds, contestants will rehearse and come up with strategy in a workroom environment.
The lineup of celebrity singers will be announced closer to the show’s premiere date, slated for sometime in 2027.
MGM Alternative produces The Voice with Warner Horizon Unscripted Television and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. Series creator John de Mol executive produces with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher and Barry Poznick. Daly will be a producer on the celebrity edition.
