If the network gets their way, season 30’s lineup of coaches will be Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Adam Levine, and Kelly Clarkson, a production source told The U.S. Sun.
“For season 30, they want to go big since it will be a milestone year. Though the lineup isn’t finalized yet since filming for 30 won’t start until late Spring/early Summer 2026.
“There’s still time for changes and still all of season 29 to get through.
“But the producers are trying to lock in a deal to get Blake and Adam back together, they’ve wanted that for years and think 30 is an opportune time to make it happen,” the insider explained.

“And it would be great to make it a full family affair with Gwen part of it too. Kelly would make the most sense to round out that foursome so that’s the 4th person in talks,” they added, noting Kelly’s personal and professional ties to her longtime pal Blake.
“So if producers get their way, 30 will be Adam, Blake, Gwen, and Kelly. Nothing is official yet though.
“The biggest challenge is getting Blake and Gwen back at all, it’s most likely going to cost the show a fortune to make that happen.
“And also booking Kelly on back-to-back seasons with her busy schedule and tough year. A lot of moving parts but they want to make it work.”
Kelly, 43, and Adam, 46, will both be part of season 29, alongside John Legend, for the first time ever The Voice will only feature three coaches.
The show is expected to return back to its typical four-coach format for season 30.
Adam was one of the original coaches, alongside Blake, and the pair famously formed a bromance that was a huge part of the show’s initial success.
Both the Maroon 5 frontman and the country crooner were part of season 1’s premiere in 2011.
However, Adam was first to jump ship and first left the show in May 2019 after reported tension on set.
After several years away, he returned in 2025 as part of the season 27 lineup.
While Kelly, who also hosts her own daytime talkshow for the network, has been a part of The Voice family off-and-on since season 14 in Spring 2018.
Gwen, 56, has been on The Voice off-and-on since she first appeared on season 7 in 2014.
Blake, 49, had the longest-running tenure of any coach after appearing on 23 consecutive seasons.
