Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine are back for another round of The Voice.
Levine, the lead singer of pop-rock band Maroon 5, is returning for his 19th season. Clarkson, who rose to fame winning American Idol before headlining her own talk show, is back for her 11th cycle. The two remaining coaches for this landmark 30th season of The Voice will be announced at a later date.
“Team Kelly has RE-entered the chat,” the show’s Instagram account posted on. May 7. “Kelly Clarkson returns as a Coach this fall on The Voice!”
“I will be back,” Levine told People on April 14, the same day the Season 29 finale aired on NBC. “I’m having so much fun doing it. Since I came back a few seasons ago, it’s just been a blast, and I’m super happy to keep it going as long as they’ll have me.”
Read on for everything to know about The Voice Season 30.
THE COACHES
Gold Derby has learned exclusively that there will be a brand new coach for Season 30. Additionally, The Voice is returning to its standard four-coach format. The 29th season, with its “Battle of Champions” theme, was the only one to have three coaches.
Audrey Morrissey, the show’s long-time executive producer and showrunner, told us about Season 30: “It’ll be four coaches.” Additionally, she confirmed the producers have “thought about” doing an all-stars season featuring fan-fave contestants, but that it won’t be happening for the 30th cycle.
Stay tuned to see who will be joining Levine in the big red chairs.
THE PREMIERE DATE
The new episodes will air in the fall of 2026, but a specific premiere date has not yet been revealed. The most recent fall cycles all debuted in the latter half of September: Season 28 on Sept. 22, 2025; Season 26 on Sept. 23, 2024; Season 24 on Sept. 25, 2023; and Season 22 on Sept. 19, 2022.
THE FILMING
The Voice typically films two seasons around the same time at Universal Studios in Hollywood, so the blind auditions for Season 30 have likely already concluded. Virtual open call auditions for future seasons are currently available on the show’s official website.

THE HOST
Carson Daly has hosted all 29 seasons of The Voice so far, so we expect him to be officially announced as the Season 30 host in the coming weeks. We’re also waiting to learn if Druski will return as the on-camera commentator after being introduced in Season 29.
THE WINNERS
On April 14, Levine’s artist Alexia Jayy joined the long list of The Voice winners — see them all below. That marked Levine’s fourth overall victory after Season 1’s Javier Colon, Season 5’s Tessanne Chin, and Season 9’s Jordan Smith. The coach with the best track record of all time is Blake Shelton, who won nine titles throughout his 23-season run.
