NBC indicates the talent lineup for The Voice: Celebrity will be announced at a later date, with the celebrity edition expanding the franchise but keeping core competition elements.
NBC is expanding its hit singing competition with a first-ever celebrity edition. The Voice: Celebrity will feature actors, musicians, athletes, influencers, comedians, and reality stars competing for the title, with Keke Palmer stepping in as host, according to Parade.
Joe Jonas, Queen Latifah, and Riley Green will serve as coaches on the celebrity spinoff. Carson Daly, who has hosted The Voice since its 2011 debut, will move to a producer role on the new edition while continuing to host Season 30 of the original show, The Music Universe reported.
Keke Palmer Takes Over as Voice Celebrity Host
Keke Palmer becomes the first person other than Carson Daly to host a Voice franchise in the US. Daly is not disappearing from NBC — he stays on as host of Season 30 and shifts to a producer role for the celebrity edition, according to Parade.
Jonas marks his first US coaching role on The Voice. Queen Latifah and Riley Green join him on the coaching panel. NBC has not yet announced which celebrities will compete, saying the talent lineup will be revealed at a later date, Give Me My Remote reported.
Celebrity Edition Adds New Formats, Keeps Blind Auditions
The Voice: Celebrity will keep the show's signature Blind Auditions and team-building format that fans already know. But NBC is adding new elements to freshen things up, including a VIP Room and a Workroom, according to The Music Universe.
A new segment called Voice Boot Camp will also give viewers behind-the-scenes looks at how celebrity contestants prepare. NBC describes the celebrity edition as an expanded version of the franchise, not a replacement for it, Give Me My Remote noted.
Season 31 Shrinks to Three Coaches Due to NBA Schedule
Season 31 of the original Voice will air in spring 2027 with only three coaches — not the usual four. NBC says the shorter spring programming window, caused by NBA scheduling, forced the change, Head Topics reported.
This makes Season 31 only the second time in the show's history to use a three-coach format. Season 29 was the first. NBC is calling Season 31 an 'eventized' edition to set it apart from a standard run, according to The Music Universe.
What This Means for the Voice Franchise Going Forward
The celebrity spinoff is one of the biggest changes to The Voice since it launched in 2011, Head Topics reported. NBC is betting that famous faces competing in the Blind Audition format will draw new viewers while keeping loyal fans engaged.
Season 30 of the original Voice airs first, with Queen Latifah and Riley Green joining as coaches alongside returning panelists. The Voice: Celebrity and Season 31 are both set to premiere in 2027. No premiere date has been confirmed yet, according to Parade.
