The Voice season 25: Who are the coaches this year?

NBC’s hit reality TV show The Voice is making a comeback with a brand new season on Monday, February 26, 2024. Last season, coach Niall Horan’s contestant, Michael Huntley, was crowned the winner in December 2023. His victory marked the second consecutive trophy for Team Niall after they performed Bob Dylan’s Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door in a duet during the finale.

Besides the One Direction alum, season 24 was led under the guidance of coaches Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Reba McEntire. The coaching panel has changed considerably for the upcoming season 25, which will premiere on NBC. The Voice UK is set to introduce its first-ever coaching duo.

Who are the coaches on The Voice season 25?

Chance the Rapper is returning as a full-time coach after remaining absent in season 24. Meanwhile, John Legend’s comeback will mark his ninth season on the coaching panel. Reba McEntire is also returning to fill the red chair for the second consecutive time.

In addition, the new season brings an exciting twist by introducing the first-ever joint coaches, Dan+ Shay, thereby promising a dynamic addition to the line-up. Sharing excitement about the development, the musical duo in a previous Instagram video addressed their fans:

“What’s up y’all? It’s Dan and Shay here. Hey, we are so excited, actually, we’ve never been so excited about anything in our entire lives than to announce we are the new coaches of season 25 of The Voice. Shay, are you pumped?”

His partner in crime on the singing reality TV show responded:

“I am absolutely fired up, Dan. Listen people have been asking, is it two chairs, is it one? It’s two chairs but one button. Season 25, Team Dan and Shay. Let’s go.”

Niall Horan, the One Direction alum who ended up winning the last season with contestant Huntley, has opted out of participating in season 25. The show's veteran coach, Gwen Stefani, is joining in his absence.
