After season 23, Blake Shelton, the final remaining original coach on The Voice, will be leaving his red swivel chair. However, Country music contestants need not worry as they will have a new coach who is well-versed in the genre. Reba McEntire, a Country Music Hall of Famer, will be taking over as a coach for season 24 of NBC’s The Voice.
Reba McEntire will join returning coaches John Legend, Niall Horan, and Gwen Stefani when the musical competition returns to the network’s primetime lineup this fall. The Country music superstar participated in season 23 as a mega mentor.
The first live shows of season 23 begin tonight at 8pm ET/PT with a two-hour semi-final. The remaining top eight contestants will perform live in front of coaches Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, and Niall Horan for a shot at making it to the finale.
The Voice fans will be able to vote in real-time during the broadcast, and the contestants will learn their fates at the end of the show.
John de Mol created the series and serves as executive producer. Additional executive producers include Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, and Adam H. Sher.
Reba McEntire recently starred alongside Katheryn Winnick, Kylie Bunbury, and Jensen Ackles on season three of ABC’s Big Sky. The network recently announced the drama created by David E. Kelley won’t return for season four.
