Blake Shelton is all set to return to his judging duties, but this time it’s not for ‘The Voice.’ Notably, Shelton left the singing reality show in May 2023 after 23 long seasons.
The country star recently made a grand comeback in the season 27 finale, making fans wonder if he will return to the show.
However, a return to ‘The Voice’ doesn’t seem likely anytime soon, as the release date for Shelton’s new singing competition has just been revealed.

The show in discussion is ‘The Road,’ which is produced by Shelton and ‘Yellowstone’ creator Taylor Sheridan.
It is all set to premiere on Sunday, October 19, 2025, on CBS and will star Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, and Shelton as the judges, according to American Songwriter.
Reportedly, unlike traditional formats of singing competitions, ‘The Road’ will feature emerging artists performing as openers for Urban at venues nationwide, with live audiences deciding who advances to the next city. In the show’s trailer, Wilson warns contestants, saying, “Opening for Keith is not for the faint of heart.”
