Season 25

The twenty-fourth season of the American reality television series The Voice premiered on September 25, 2023, on NBC. The season is presented by Carson Daly, who returned for his twenty-fourth season as the host. This season's coaching panel consists of Niall Horan, who returned for his second season; John Legend and Gwen Stefani, who both returned for their eighth and seventh seasons, respectively, both after a one-season hiatus; and debuting coach Reba McEntire.

With Blake Shelton's departure as a coach, the twenty-fourth season is the first not to feature any of the original coaches from the show's inaugural season.

Overview

Development

On May 15, 2023, during NBC's upfronts for the 2023–24 United States network television schedule, it was announced that The Voice would return for a fall season later that year.[1][2] The filming of the blind auditions began on July 10.[3] Despite the season's inclusion of SAG–AFTRA members, such as John Legend and Reba McEntire,[4][5] in its cast, the taping for the show was left unaffected when the union went on strike on July 14,[6] as the show was covered under the union's Network Code, which is not subject to the contract negotiations between the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.[7]

On the announcement of NBC's 2023 fall schedule, on July 19, 2023, it was revealed that the season would premiere on September 25.[8]

Coaches and host

Coaches and host of The Voice season 24

Out of the four coaches that appeared in the previous season, only Niall Horan made a return, marking his second season as a coach.[9] Coaches Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, and Blake Shelton, all left the panel for the season.

Shelton remarked in an interview with Access Hollywood that the previous season would be his last due to familial reasons.[10] His departure makes the twenty-fourth season the first to not feature any of the coaches from the inaugural season.[11][12] Meanwhile, Clarkson's departure comes amid her talk show's move to New York,[13] as well as the allegations of a toxic work environment within it formed by its producers.[14][15]

Former coaches John Legend and Gwen Stefani, who both last coached on season 22, returned for their eighth and seventh seasons, respectively.[16]

During the semifinals of the previous season, it was revealed that country music singer and actress Reba McEntire would appear as a coach for her first season.[17] McEntire previously made several appearances on the show—she served as the battle advisor for Team Blake on the show's inaugural season; an advisor for all teams during the Top 12 live shows on season eight; and as the mega mentor on season 23.[18][19] She was also tapped to serve as a coach on the show's first season, but she declined.[20] McEntire's history on the show, as well as her respected career in country music,[21] have led several publications to identify her as Shelton's replacement.[18][22] Adrianna Freedman of Good Housekeeping noted that McEntire's inclusion as a coach garnered a positive response from longtime viewers.[23]

Carson Daly returned as the host for his twenty-fourth season.[3]

Marketing and promotion

A preview of the season was first aired on August 31, 2023.[24] Ahead of the season's premiere, on September 22, the show, via its online media platforms, released a cover of the 1972 Eagles single "Take It Easy" performed by the coaches.[25]

Shortly prior to the season premiere, the blind audition of Jordan Rainer, performing the Bobbie Gentry song "Fancy" based on McEntire's 1992 cover of the song, was released online.[26] Later episodes saw the auditions of Ephraim Owens, Chechi Sarai, Laura Williams, Nini Iris, Olivia Eden and Dylan Carter released online as a sneak peek for their respective episodes.[27]

Blind auditions

The show began with the Blind Auditions on September 25, 2023. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches, whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may press their button to face the artist. If a singular coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has one "block" to prevent another coach from getting an artist. This season, each coach ends up with 14 artists by the end of the blind auditions, creating a total of 56 artists advancing to the battles.[28]

This is the first season in The Voice history where two coaches (John Legend and Niall Horan) do not have any one-chair turn on their teams. This is also, by far, the season with the most 4-chair turns.
