With The Voice season 26 starting with record ratings last week, fans are gearing up for what looks to be one of the best seasons yet.
Outside of watching aspiring artists sing for their dreams, fans will meet the new lineup of coaches that includes Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Gwen Stefani, and Reba McEntire.
Reba is returning for another—and possibly final—season of The Voice. Given the success the show brought NBC over the last few years, it appeared the network got a little excited when it came to announcing details on season 27. But don’t worry, here are all the details about Reba’s departure and what the future holds for the country star.
Already helming her own show in the past, Reba is returning to television with the new series Happy’s Place. Airing during the 2024-2025 season, the singer discussed the series, saying, “We have been working on trying to get another show since we were canceled on the REBA show. We got to do Malibu Country for one season. We’ve got the same producers, same showrunner, same writers, and now we’re back with Melissa Peterman and Rex Linn, my boyfriend, and a wonderful, wonderful cast and crew.”
As for the plot of the show, Reba revealed, “My [character Bobbie’s] dad was Happy, that was his name, and we owned a tavern called Happy’s Place. Well, Happy passed, and so he’s passed the tavern onto me, but there’s a little hiccup involved, so that’s the mystery right there. Everybody has to tune in and watch it, and I hope they love it.”
In the first show of „The Voice“ Reba brought Snoop Dogg to tears
On the season 26 premiere of The Voice on Monday, Sept. 23, the country star pulled an unprecedented move after Kendall Eugene’s blind audition — and it brought fellow coach Snoop Dogg to tears.
After Eugene finished his rendition of Morgan Wallen‘s “Don’t Thank Jesus” with no chair turns, the coaches all complimented him and encouraged him to try again on a different season.
Renda McEntire, however, instantly regretted not turning her chair.
“I liked everything about it,” McEntire, 69, said, prompting Eugene to say she “should’ve turned.”
“I was going to say that exact same words,” the “I’m a Survivor” singer responded. “I don’t understand why I did not turn around.“
McEntire then announced she was going to make “history” by being the first-ever coach on The Voice to use the Coach Replay button, which allows coaches to change their minds if they don’t turn their chairs during a blind audition.
“We’ve got this new thing this year, that is a Coach Replay button. I’m going to use mine,” she said as she hit her button.
The move brought Eugene to tears instantly — and Snoop was visibly moved.
“Wow! Go give that man a hug,” the rapper, 52, said.
When the camera panned back to Snoop, he was wiping tears from his face.
“I love that song that Kendall was singing. And after the song was over, I felt kind of numb. I knew in my heart I wanted him on my team. I’m so glad, for the very first time we have a Coach Replay button.
McEntire has returned as a coach for the third season in a row after winning with Asher HaVon on season 25.
This time, she’s coaching alongside first-timers Michael Bublé and Snoop, and returning coach Gwen Stefani. In July, the coaches teamed up for their first-ever coach performance together and sang a joyful rendition of the Four Tops’ 1966 hit “Reach Out I’ll Be There.”
Fans are desperate that this will be the last „Voice“-shows for Reba and she will leave the show after this season.
