Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé have been revealed as the final two coaches for the upcoming 26th season of NBC's hit show, The Voice. The network made the announcement at a presentation to advertisers before quickly taking to social media.
The Instagram accounts of NBC and The Voice joined together to post a grid shot of the upcoming season's four celebrity coaches, putting a tweet in the middle of the photo.
"Dream Coach rotation just dropped..iykyk, meet your Coaches for THIS FALL on #TheVoice!" reads the message.
The post is captioned: "Pass the excitement for your Season 26 Coaches of #TheVoice: @reba, @gwenstefani, @snoopdogg & @michaelbuble!!!"
The joke of a "rotation" may be a nod to Snoop Dogg's status as an icon of cannabis culture. A social media trend where users post their dream "rotation," the group of people one smokes with, took hold over the past few years. Most of these rotations feature Snoop himself.
Snoop and Bublé now join a lengthy list of over twenty musical stars who have appeared as one of the primary four judges on the musical competition show, which premiered in 2011.
Bublé has appeared on The Voice before, acting as an advisor to country singer Blake Shelton's team in the show's third season. Snoop, too, has graced the show's set and stage before. He served as a Mega Mentor in season twenty of The Voice.
Snoop and Bublé will join returning coaches Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani.
Reba first appeared on The Voice in its debut season as a "battle advisor" to Team Blake. After making other appearances throughout the years, she joined the show as an official coach in its 24th season. Reba is also set to star in her own comedy series, NBC's Happy's Place. In the early 200s, she starred in another sitcom, Reba.
Stefani, meanwhile, will be taking on her eighth season as a coach on The Voice. She officially replaced Christian Aguilera in the show's seventh season and has since coached on and off throughout the past decade.
Snoop has another upcoming venture with NBC this summer. He will be joining their commentary team for nightly reports from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
The Voice is currently in the semi-final stage of its 25th season, which features Reba, John Legend, Chance the Rapper and Dan + Shay as team coaches, with each coach having two team members remaining. Australian country singer Keith Urban is this season's Mega Mentor.
The show's current season will end on May 21 after a massive, two-night finale of live performances. The premiere date of The Voice Season 26 has yet to be announced, but the show is confirmed to make a return sometime this fall.
