NBC is expanding its long-running music competition series with a brand new spin-off. The network announced that The Voice: Celebrity is currently in production and slated to debut next spring. This version of the show moves away from the traditional format of scouting undiscovered talent. Instead, it features a lineup of actors, athletes, musicians, comedians, and social media stars competing on the famous stage.
Joe Jonas is set to make his debut as a coach for this inaugural celebrity season. He will join a coaching panel that includes Queen Latifah and Riley Green. These two artists are already confirmed as coaches for the standard version of the show in Season 30, which hits the airwaves this fall.
Keke Palmer is taking on the role of host for the celebrity edition. She steps into the position held by Carson Daly since the series began in 2011. While Daly is moving on from his hosting duties on this specific spin-off, he will remain involved as a producer.
The show aims to bring fresh energy to the franchise by introducing new features. One addition is Voice Boot Camp, a segment that offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the celebrities as they prepare for their Blind Auditions. There is also a dedicated VIP room where participants can gather to watch their peers perform. The production involves MGM Alternative, Warner Horizon Unscripted Television, and ITV Studios. It stands as a significant pivot for the show, which has maintained high ratings for NBC over the years.
