She’s back, y’all! NBC announced Monday morning (May 12) that Reba McEntire will make her way back to the spinning red chairs of The Voice as a coach for season 28.
Set to premiere this fall, the upcoming season marks the superstar’s fourth go-round on the popular reality singing competition after joining the fun as a first-time coach for season 24 alongside Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani and John Legend back in 2023.
The following season, McEntire took home her first win when Asher HaVon beat out fellow Team Reba member Josh Sanders; Bryan Olesen and Nathan Chester of Team Legend; and Karen Waldrup, who was representing freshman coaches Dan+ Shay, in the season 25 finale.
This fall, the “I Can’t” singer will be joined by fellow returning coach Snoop Dogg, whom she last competed against during season 26. Meanwhile, she’ll also pull double-duty as the star and executive producer of her NBC sitcom Happy’s Place, which already earned a season 2 renewal back in February.
During her brief hiatus from The Voice since season 26 ended, McEntire has certainly kept busy, collaborating with Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert on the new single “Trailblazer” and hosting the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards — her 18th time hosting or co-hosting the annual awards show since 1985.
As for the current iteration of The Voice, season 27 — which saw OG coach Adam Levine make his own highly anticipated return to the show for the first time in 11 seasons — will kick off its live semifinals on Monday night, with each team already whittled down to just two singers ahead of the finals.
