"The Voice’s" revamped 29th season is finally upon us, and some big changes are coming with the return of NBC’s singing competition to the 2026 TV schedule. One of the biggest twists of the new season will be obvious from the start — for the first time in "The Voice’s" history, there are only three coaches instead of four. This major switchup confused me at first, but there’s a good reason for it, according to the showrunner.
Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and John Legend will be Season 29’s coaching trio, making up "The Voice’s" first-ever all-champion panel. However, it’s not like those are the only three coaches to ever win the show (nobody’s forgetting Blake Shelton’s nine victories), so why the reduction? According to EP Audrey Morrissey, it has to do with NBC adding NBA games to its primetime lineup, which resulted in fewer episodes and therefore smaller teams.
