Reba McEntire will exit the ‘The Voice’ following her third season as a coach, Season 26, which is set to air this fall.
While viewers won’t be seeing McEntire on The Voice following the upcoming season, they will be getting an old judge back: Adam Levine. The Maroon 5 singer was an original coach when the show debuted in 2011, and he remained with it until 2019, coaching three winners over his eight-year run. He will be joined by John Legend (who is sitting out Season 26), incoming Season 26 coach Michael Bublé, and country singer Kelsea Ballerini, who will make her full-time coaching debut in Season 27.

Interestingly, earlier this year McEntire responded to rumors that she was leaving The Voice, saying they were “not true.” In a post on X (formerly Twitter), McEntire set the record straight and assured her fans that she is not going anywhere. However, it seems that the situation has changed, as NBC says McEntire is officially poised to exit.
