Adam Levine and Blake Shelton were frenemies at first sight (spite?) during season 1 of The Voice back in 2011. The tatted-up Maroon 5 frontman and the drawling country star brought plenty of banter and snark until Levine’s exit following season 16. Now, as the “Moves Like Jagger” heartthrob gears up for his anxiously-awaited return to the big red chair, Shelton has announced his very own singing competition series. What could both musicians’ return to reality TV mean for OG viewers of The Voice?

What Could This Mean For the Blake-Adam Bromance?
Adam Levine is set to make his Voice comeback during the spring of 2025. The three-time Grammy Award winner will join Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé and John Legend on the season 27 coaching panel.
Blake Shelton won’t premiere The Road until fall 2025, with the exact date still unknown. That’s just in time for season 28 of The Voice, giving the duo a prime opportunity to renew their friendly-ish rivalry.
However, as The Voice has yet to announce the season 28 coaching lineup, it’s unclear if Levine will return to his big red chair after season 27. But OG fans of The Voice are no doubt keeping their fingers crossed for another Blake Shelton-Adam Levine showdown.
