NBC has officially announced that country legend Reba McEntire will return as a coach on Season 28 of The Voice — joining a powerhouse panel that includes Michael Bublé, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg.
The new season premieres September 22, 2025, kicking off with a special two-night launch event on NBC. Fans are already calling it one of the show’s strongest coaching lineups in years, featuring three returning champions — McEntire, Bublé, and Horan — alongside hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg, who adds a fresh, playful energy to the mix.
“I’m blown away every season,” McEntire said in an interview with Parade. “These young singers remind me why I fell in love with music in the first place. I want to lift them up, not tear them down.”
🎤 A Triumphant Return
After taking a brief break during Season 27 to focus on her NBC sitcom Happy’s Place and other projects, McEntire says returning to The Voice felt like coming home. “The camaraderie among the coaches — Michael’s a good buddy, Niall’s like my little brother, and Snoop keeps us all laughing — that’s what makes this show special,” she added.
Season 28 will also introduce a new twist called the “Carson Callback”, a dramatic second-chance round that lets eliminated contestants return to compete again. Producers say the change will “keep coaches on their toes and test their strategy like never before.”
🌟 Reba’s Legacy on The Voice
Since joining the series in Season 24, McEntire has become one of The Voice’s most respected mentors. Her approach — mixing warmth, humor, and unshakable professionalism — helped lead her team to victory in Season 25.
Fans often praise her for her authenticity and nurturing spirit. “Reba’s not just a coach, she’s a life teacher,” one contestant shared. “She helps you believe in your voice — and in yourself.”
📺 Looking Ahead
Season 28 of The Voice promises big voices, bigger emotions, and the kind of mentorship only Reba McEntire can deliver. With a star-studded panel, new format twists, and McEntire’s signature country-rooted wisdom, the upcoming season might just redefine the show’s legacy once again.
“Music brings people together,” Reba said. “That’s what this show is about — heart, hope, and the joy of finding your voice.”
