The Voice returns for Season 26 on Monday, Sept, 23 with two brand new coaches and, of course, new contestants vying for the top prize on the singing competition series. Judges Gwen Stefani and Reba McEntire are both returning as coaches on the show, and they're joined by new additions Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg (who you may know from his work as an Olympics commentator). Carson Daly, who has hosted the show since the first season, is also returning. During the first round of competition on The Voice, singers compete in what's known as the Blind Audition – as they sing, the judges' backs are turned. The first judge to push a button and claim that artist then swivels around in their signature red chair to face the contestant who they will then mentor throughout the season, in hopes that they develop their craft and ultimately earn a record deal.
