TF1 launches The Voice Kids season 12 on August 22 with coaches Patrick Fiori, Santa, Matt Pokora and Soprano

TF1 will premiere the twelfth season of The Voice Kids on Saturday, 22 August at 21:10. The competition will feature 60 singers aged 6‑15 who must win over the four returning coaches – Patrick Fiori, Santa, Matt Pokora and Soprano – during blind auditions and subsequent rounds.

Nikos Aliagas returns as host, and digital creator Styleto joins the show as a backstage mentor, supporting contestants before and after their performances. The new season introduces three gameplay twists: “Gages,” allowing a coach to set a challenge for a rival; the “Block,” a strategic tool to prevent a coach from turning a chair; and the “Call to a friend,” letting coaches summon a guest to send a video message to a young talent.

The format retains its core focus on vocal talent, emotion and audience engagement while adding these fresh elements to keep the competition dynamic.
