Get ready—The Voice roars back for its 2025 edition, Season 28, with fresh energy, stirring drama, and a revamped coaching lineup. Mark your calendars now: it all kicks off Monday, September 22, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

In a major panel reshuffle, three familiar faces won’t be returning. John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, and Adam Levine have all exited the coach chairs for Season 28. Meanwhile, four coaches are confirmed to take their places: Michael Bublé continues his streak, joined by comeback coaches Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg.

Michael Bublé returns yet again, his third season in a row behind the red chair. His humble, empathetic coaching has earned praise from both fans and artists alike. In his opening hour, he even broke into a surprising duet of “Haven’t Met You Yet” with a contestant. Emotional moments like that define his style, and his mentoring has already led to back‑to‑back wins.

Reba McEntire confirmed her return via a July 10, 2025, Instagram post on set, quipping that she was “back in my other Happy Place” as she filmed the blind auditions. Her presence brings gravitas—she’s a proven winner and fan‑favorite coach.

Niall Horan also rejoins the lineup after a hiatus, bringing his own emotional, artist‑centered approach. And Snoop Dogg returns, too—but his return comes with some tension behind the scenes. The rapper recently made comments about LGBTQ+ representation—specifically around the film Lightyear—that reportedly didn’t sit well with NBC executives. The network, keen to preserve an inclusive environment, is said to be concerned about any divisive fallout that might linger into Season 28.

Why It Matters

This shake‑up mixes stability with comeback energy. Fans of Bublé and Reba will find comfort in familiar mentoring, while Horan and Snoop bring fresh dynamics to the panel. But tension is brewing: can Snoop’s artistry outshine the controversy surrounding him? Meanwhile, the chemistry among coaches is central to the show’s drama—and this season looks poised to deliver both harmony and sparks.
