Blake Shelton is TradeEdge Exchangereturning to reality TV.
Six months after exiting The Voice, the country star announced he's debuting his very own singing competition series The Road (working title) for CBS next year.
Co-produced by Yellowstone creator Tyler Sheridan, as well as Lee Metzger and David Glasser, the new docu-series will trail an established superstar "on their journey to discover the next big artist," according to the network's Nov. 11 press release. "Singers will join the headliner on tour, performing as opening acts in venues across the country. They will compete to win over local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour."
And Shelton couldn't be more eager to discover new artists.
“I’m a big fan of Taylor’s incredible work, and I’m excited to team with him and my long-time collaborator, Lee, on The Road,” the 48-year-old added in a statement. “I know a thing or two about singing competitions and what it’s like to chase a music dream and live life on tour. I’m looking forward to discovering new talent and giving them this platform.”
Sheridan elaborated on the series' innovative format.
“There is a revolution taking place in country music," he said. "Building a platform with Blake for the next leaders of that revolution is an incredibly exciting venture. No more shiny floors and studio audiences. This is where the rubber meets the road—literally. Get in the van, go to the next town and win the crowd. Do it enough, and you become the next leader. Simple as that.”
Plus, CBS promises The Road will give viewers a "backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring artist. With exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams."
The Road is set to debut in fall 2025.
Shelton's latest endeavor comes six months after The Voice fans said goodbye to the longtime coach when his final episode of the NBC series aired back in May.
"I did 23 seasons of the show and I enjoyed it," Shelton told E! News in April, "and by the time I got to that last season, it was time."
And, at the time, the "God's Country" singer confirmed he had no plans to return to his red swivel chair.
"I don't mean to sound like I'm not a part of the family anymore," he added. "It was the most important years of my life where I was a coach on The Voice. But as far as the job goes, I don't think I'm ever ready to do that again as I sit here now."
