Blake Shelton Is Getting Back On TV With New Show
Blake Shelton has a new TV project: he’s teaming up with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheraton, as well as Lee Metzger and David Glasser, for a new singing competition, which is tentatively called The Road and will air in the fall of 2025 on CBS.
Blake said in a statement, “I’m a big fan of Taylor’s incredible work, and I’m excited to team with him and my long-time collaborator, Lee, on The Road.”
He added, “I know a thing or two about singing competitions and what it’s like to chase a music dream and live life on tour. I’m looking forward to discovering new talent and giving them this platform.”
The new docu-series will follow an established superstar “on their journey to discover the next big artist.” According to a press release: “Singers will join the headliner on tour, performing as opening acts in venues across the country. They will compete to win over local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour.”

Taylor Sheridan said, “There is a revolution taking place in country music. Building a platform with Blake for the next leaders of that revolution is an incredibly exciting venture. No more shiny floors and studio audiences. This is where the rubber meets the road—literally. Get in the van, go to the next town, and win the crowd. Do it enough, and you become the next leader. Simple as that.”
CBS revealed that The Road will give viewers a “backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring artist.” It will provide exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry; viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile onto a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.
As Shelton said, he has some experience with singing competitions. He recently told E! News why he left The Voice. “I did 23 seasons of the show and I enjoyed it and by the time I got to that last season, it was time.”
He continued that he didn’t want to return to the show, saying he didn’t mean to sound like “I’m not a part of the family anymore,” but as far as the job goes, he didn’t think he’s “ever ready” to do that again. He added. “It was the most important years of my life where I was a coach on The Voice.”
