The official lineup of coaches for Season 12 of “The Voice” was announced Tuesday, with some very familiar faces in the mix.
Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will nurture young talent for the season that premieres in February 2017, it was revealed on the “Today” show.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus will be back for the subsequent 13th season of NBC’s three-time Emmy Award-winning competition series the following fall. The rest of the coaches for that season will be named at a later date, according to NBC.
Recent Billy Bush stand-in Carson Daly is returning as host.
“We can’t wait to experience the unique chemistry and energy Gwen, Alicia, Blake and Adam will bring to Season 12,” Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Reality Group, NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. “With Miley returning for Season 13, we’re truly ecstatic about the unmatched musical know-how and talent coming together in our coming seasons.”
