"The Voice" just unveiled the coaches' lineup for Season 24 and we are seeing familiar faces on the red chairs this coming year!

Blake Shelton, the longest-running coach of "The Voice" retires his chair after 23 seasons, and he will be replaced by another music icon, which many would attest to be actually bigger than him!

'The Voice' Season 24 Judges

Reba McEntire

In case you still don't know, country queen Reba McEntire will take over Blake Shelton's chair in "The Voice."

The move wasn't quite a shocker since the two have had a longstanding relationship already. In fact, McEntire was supposed to be the coach since Season 1, but she passed up on the opportunity back then.

However, she served as a guest mentor for Team Blake in the first season to make up for the missed opportunity. On Season 23, McEntire also returned to "The Voice" as she was the Mega Mentor this year.

In the latest episode, McEntire already tested Shelton's chair as the singer, who will be departing after this season, pleads to let him finish as he had one week left.

No doubt, McEntire will be a great addition to "The Voice."

Gwen Stefani

According to an NBC Upfront Event, McEntire won't be the only familiar face we'll be seeing next season as Gwen Stefani and John Legend will be returning. (via Today)

Surprisingly, Gwen Stefani returns for next season after "retiring" on Season 22. This may come as a shock or leave others confused because the reason why Shelton retired his chair, was so that he could focus on his family, with Gwen, his wife, specifically.

Regardless of the family dynamics, Stefani has been a staple on "The Voice." This would be her seventh season on "The Voice."

John Legend

After pressing pause on Season 22 along with Stefani and Camila Cabello, Legend will also be returning on Season 24. Legend has yet to prove himself as he plans to add another Voice trophy to his EGOT shelf.

Niall Horan

With the warm reception of fans, Season 23 coach Niall Horan will be the only returning judge this season to the next. The former One Direction member packs the experience, charisma, and knowledge as he was considered by many as a "breath of fresh air" to the show.
