Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé Join The Voice Season 26 — Plus, Find Out Which Coaches Are Returning

Ahead of Season 26 of The Voice, NBC’s long-running sing-off has offered red swivel chairs to two new coaches: Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, the network announced Monday.
The duo will join Reba McEntire, who is returning for her third consecutive cycle, and Gwen Stefani, who is coming back for her eighth non-consecutive season. (Maybe she’ll be able to convince her husband, Voice GOAT Blake Shelton, to tap in as her Battles adviser; we can but hope.)
Dogg previously appeared on the talent competition as Season 20’s Mega Mentor; Bublé, as a Season 3 adviser for Team Blake. They’ll replace John Legend and Chance the Rapper, who are currently vying with McEntire and Dan + Shay to usher their teams to victory in Season 25. (The Semi-Finals air Monday at 8/7c with viewers’ votes being revealed during Tuesday’s results show.)
Stefani coached her first (and so far only) singer into the winners’ circle in Season 19, when Carter Rubin came out on top. McEntire, who will also be headlining a new comedy for NBC during the 2024-25 TV season, is still chasing her first win.
What do you think of the new coaching lineup? Weigh in in the comments below.
I’d like them to bring back Niall Horan at some stage as I thought he was an excellent coach.
Hopefully after his tour.
Out.
Show is more about judges atvthis point, not the contestants. Some judges lack what it takes. And the rules always seem odd, battles and saves and do overs. Out.
The Voice was always about the judges. That’s why the Blind Auditions are the best part.
Bring back Niall!
I am thrilled with the news Michael Buble will be a coach on The Voice. He has the greatest personality. He is funny, warm, and talented. I have mentioned to friends in the past that he would be great on The Voice. I will start watching again.
No offense to the new coaches but this news seemed kind of lackluster and boring.
I’m going to miss John and Chance.
Snoop Dog, Michael Buble`, Gwen Stefani, and Reba McEntire?!? REALLY?!?! Gwen Stefani comments more on what the women are wearing than on their singing, and constantly lets us know she’s married to Blake Shelton – BORING!! Not a fan of Snoop Dog or Michael Buble`. The ONLY one worth watching is Reba so I’m gonna sit this season out. Bring back Niall Horan, Dan & Shay, Cabello – so many better coaches to choose from.
Why are we losing John Legend as a coach? Dan + Shay? Gwen Stefani could we get a little less attention? Hope the interactions between new and returning coaches stays lively and fun. Rather see a few coaches stick around vs. continuing to change.
No I don’t think so
Well…that’s a pretty eclectic group of judges, at least.
Still not picking up any rock artists as judges.
Oh I sure will miss John and Chance.Im not thrilled about their replacements,just glad they didn’t ask CeeLo back!!!!
I miss Kelly,Blake and Adam.
I miss Adam too. Since he left, I’ve been watching Jonathan Smith’s blind audition just to watch Adam for the few seconds he’s on. I’m a great grandmother and I think he’s hot-hot-hot!
I wish y’all could see my face right now.
I miss Niall Horan and wish they’d bring him back.
I like that they keep changing out the coaches. It keeps it fresh. Pop, jazz, hip hop and country. Someone mentioned rock not represented – you are so right. That would have been better than Gwen again; I get tired of her “my husband this”, and “my husband that”. She is schizophrenic; does she want to be pop or country? Reminds me of someone else who has recently “gone country”.
What a group of voice coaches.
Love this
I’m sad that John Legend won’t be back, I do like it that Michael Buble will be there. Personally I can’t stand Gwen, not into rap music so don’t think Snoop is a good addition. Don’t like his personality at all
I would like them to bring back Adam, Kelly,Nial maybe bring a duo back like Brooks & Dunn.. I am like the rest on Gwen she don’t do much for the show!
Oh nooo not Snoop Dog! Maybe he will
surprise like Chance did! Loved Chance!!!
Sorry he be back!
Maybe Season 26!!
Wasn’t impressed with season 25 winner others were more talented. Duets show competition but doesn’t show individual strengths. More of karaoke singing. Want to see the one perform. Agree more arrangement of songs with coach not pushing them in different direction than who they are. This is only my opinion with some disappointment in the overall talent out there
The Voice Season 26 left a lot of my deep feelings for the show. The season has the most talented and promising people.
