NBC’s long-running singing competition is still going strong; “The Voice” is coming back for Season 28 and it’s shaping up to be a good one. Whether you’ve been watching since the days of Blake Shelton’s cowboy hats and Adam Levine’s tank tops or you just tune in for the blind auditions and dramatic chair turns, there’s something magical about watching raw talent get polished into the next big thing.
Season 28 kicks off this fall, and while the show isn’t reinventing the wheel, it seems like they’re doubling down on what works: coaches with major star power, a charismatic host, and a lineup of hopefuls looking to make their dreams come true. With a returning panel that fans are already obsessed with, this season looks ready to deliver plenty of jaw-dropping performances and meme-worthy moments.
Let’s break down who’s back in the big red chairs… and why this season might just be one of the strongest yet.
Meet the Judges for Season 28
Season 28 is bringing back four powerhouse coaches who’ve already proven they can deliver mentorship, music knowledge, and some seriously fun TV.
Michael Bublé
GettyReturning for his third consecutive season, Bublé brings his signature charm and classic vocal training to the table. Smooth, stylish, and surprisingly competitive; he’s become a fan favorite.
Reba McEntire
GettyCountry royalty Reba is back for her fourth season after a quick break. She’s known for her warm guidance, sharp instincts, and ability to connect with just about anyone.
Niall Horan
GettyWith his third run as a coach, Niall keeps proving he’s more than just a boy band alum. He’s got a great ear for pop potential and brings a relatable, grounded vibe to the show.
Snoop Dogg
GettyYou read that right… Snoop’s back for a second season. He adds a whole different flavor to the panel, and fans love his laid-back approach and unexpected insight into performance and artistry.
And fun fact: this marks the first season since Season 20 without a brand-new coach; proof that NBC is leaning into the chemistry of well-known coaches.
Expectations for the Upcoming Season
Hosted by the ever-charismatic Carson Daly, Season 28 promises to deliver the high-caliber performances and heartfelt moments that fans have come to love. With a coaching panel rich in diversity and experience, contestants will benefit from a broad spectrum of musical guidance.
The show’s signature format (blind auditions, battle rounds, knockouts, and live performances) will return, giving artists multiple chances to shine under pressure. And with these four coaches, we’re expecting some serious showdowns (and some hilarious banter) along the way.
The synergy among this returning group could be the secret sauce. There’s something comforting about coaches who already know how to play off each other, and it sets the stage for even more electric team moments. From unexpected duets to viral-worthy steals, this season is lining up to be a standout.
If past patterns continue “The Voice” Season 28 is expected to premiere in September 2025 on NBC.
