Season 26 of NBC’s “The Voice” is bringing in some serious star power. Music legend Sting and EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson will join the coaching panel as mega mentors for the upcoming Knockout rounds. This marks Sting’s first appearance on the show, while Hudson returns after her previous coaching stints in seasons 13 and 15.
The two mentors will work with the remaining contestants as they navigate the three-way Knockout format. Artists will choose their own songs to perform individually, with their competitors looking on. Sting and Hudson will offer guidance and expertise, helping the singers refine their performances before the coaches make the difficult decisions about who will advance to the Playoffs.
The Knockout rounds begin on November 11th. Each coach will have one save and one steal at their disposal during this crucial stage of the competition.
“The Voice” is a production of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. Executive producers include John de Mol, Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher, and Barry Poznick.
