In early August 2026 NBC announced a new celebrity edition of its long‑running singing competition, titled “The Voice: Celebrity,” slated to debut in spring 2027 as Season 31. The spin‑off will replace unknown singers with actors, musicians, influencers, athletes and comedians competing for a celebrity champion. Keke Palmer was named host, taking over from longtime host Carson Daly, who will remain involved as a producer. The coaching panel will feature pop star Joe Jonas in his U.S. debut, alongside returning coaches Queen Latifah and country singer Riley Green. Production began in Los Angeles in the summer of 2026, with blind auditions already filmed and new format elements such as “Voice Boot Camp” and a “VIP Room” introduced. Two days later, Carson Daly clarified on Instagram that scheduling conflicts with his duties on the “Today” show and family commitments prevent him from hosting the spin‑off. He will continue producing the new edition and retain his role as host of the main series, which he has led since its U.S. debut in 2011. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-05: Keke Palmer to Host 'The Voice: Celebrity' as Carson Daly Steps Back Keke Palmer will host NBC's new 'The Voice: Celebrity' spin‑off, replacing longtime host Carson Daly, who will stay on as producer and may keep hosting the main series. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/keke-palmer-to-host-the-voice-celebrity-as-carson-daly-steps-back ### 2026-08-03: NBC Unveils 'The Voice: Celebrity' Spin‑off, Keke Palmer to Host, Joe Jonas to Coach NBC will launch 'The Voice: Celebrity' in spring 2027, swapping unknown singers for celebrities.
