For 12 years, fans loved watching Blake Shelton as a coach on The Voice. From season one to 23, his team took home nine championships, and he met his wife, Gwen Stefani. When he exited the show in 2023, many wondered what was next. It seems now we know. According to a news release, Blake Shelton, Taylor Sheridan, Lee Metzger, and David Glasser teamed up for a new singing competition series on CBS called The Road.

Blake Shelton And “The Road” Brings Something New To Competition Television
Per the release, “The docu-follow format trails a headlining superstar (to be announced) on their journey to discover the next big artist. 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.”
Taylor explained that he is excited about what’s happening in country music and Blake Shelton is the right person for The Road.
“There is a revolution taking place in country music. Building a platform with Blake for the next leaders of that revolution is an incredibly exciting venture,” he said. “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.
As a musician and former The Voice coach, Blake Shelton brings a unique mix to The Road. He is excited to start the adventure.
“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,” Blake said in the release.
The Road will allow viewers to see a side of the music business they likely don’t know much about. They’ll watch what happens behind the scenes in 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 release reads.
Blake Shelton’s The Road is slated for fall 2025.
