NBC’s hit singing competition The Voice returns tonight, September 21, for its milestone 30th season, bringing a new coaching lineup, updated voting features and a three-night premiere event to the fall television schedule.
Season 30 begins at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and continues with new episodes Tuesday and Wednesday. Episodes will also be available to stream the following day on Peacock.
Queen Latifah Joins The Voice Coaching Panel
One of the biggest changes this season is the arrival of Queen Latifah, who takes one of the show’s signature red chairs for the first time.
She joins returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine, while country star Riley Green also makes his coaching debut. The combination brings different musical backgrounds to the panel as new singers compete for a chance to advance through the competition.
Queen Latifah’s addition also gives the landmark season a familiar entertainment name with a long career across music, television and film.
Riley Green Brings Country Music to the Coaches
Riley Green gives Season 30 another distinct musical perspective as he takes on his first season as a Voice coach.
The country star has already revealed that he has a strategy for attracting artists during the Blind Auditions. His approach will be put to the test as the coaches compete to build their teams.
For viewers who follow country music, Green’s presence adds another reason to watch the Blind Auditions as singers compete for a spot on his team.
Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine Return
Season 30 also brings back two familiar faces.
Kelly Clarkson returns to the coaching panel, while Adam Levine continues his return to the series after previously serving as one of the show’s original coaches. NBC’s current Season 30 lineup puts the pair alongside Queen Latifah and Riley Green.
The changing mix of coaches remains one of the show’s biggest parts of the competition, since artists choose their teams based on which coaches turn their chairs during the Blind Auditions.
The Voice Gets a Three-Night Premiere
NBC is giving Season 30 a bigger opening week than a standard one-night premiere.
The new season starts Monday, September 21, continues Tuesday, September 22, and wraps up its three-night premiere event Wednesday, September 23. Each episode begins at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
The expanded premiere gives viewers three consecutive nights of Blind Auditions as the new coaching lineup begins building its teams.
Fans Will See Changes to Voting
NBC is also introducing changes to how fans participate in the competition.
The network has announced updated voting methods for Season 30, giving viewers new ways to take part as the competition moves beyond the Blind Auditions and into later rounds.
That keeps audience participation at the center of the show’s competition as singers move through the season.
