‘The Voice’ Announces First Celebrity Edition on NBC With Joe Jonas Debuting as Host, Keke Palmer Hosting and Coaches Queen Latifah and Riley Green

NBC’s “The Voice” is adding a new celebrity-skewing format, with the network beginning production on “The Voice: Celebrity,” a competition edition that will feature well-known entertainers rather than undiscovered talent. The series is set for NBC and is currently in production as NBC prepares to launch the franchise’s first celebrity iteration, according to Deadline.

Joe Jonas is among the new faces attached to the project, joining as a host and set to make his hosting debut on the NBC competition. The announcement places Jonas alongside another host, Keke Palmer, who is also tapped to host “The Voice: Celebrity,” marking a co-hosted arrangement for the celebrity season.

Coaching duties will be handled by Queen Latifah and Riley Green, both named as coaches for the celebrity edition. The hiring of two coaches is positioned as a defining element of the season’s format, as the competition will be staged as a celebrity contest rather than a search for new singing performers.

Deadline’s report describes “The Voice: Celebrity” as expanding beyond traditional music-industry participants, with the cast expected to include a mix of actors, musicians, influencers, athletes, comedians, and reality television stars. The emphasis, as described by NBC’s production team through the casting approach, is on the variety of public figures competing, with contestants drawn from multiple entertainment and media categories.

In outlining the series concept, Deadline said the celebrity edition is intended to keep the franchise’s core competitive structure but reframe it around established public personalities. The “The Voice” brand, which has long built its audience around blind auditions and coach-led team building, is using this celebrity season to stage the performances and matchups around recognizable names rather than open calls.

The project’s central lineup also extends the franchise’s broader cross-media reach. With a pop musician and actor also positioned to host (Jonas and Palmer) and coaches drawn from music and mainstream entertainment (Latifah) as well as country music (Green), the production indicates that NBC is targeting a wide audience base for the celebrity-skewed season.

NBC has not provided additional public scheduling details in the Deadline report beyond stating that the show is currently in production. As casting rounds continue and production progresses, further announcements are expected to clarify the episode timeline, the final list of celebrity contestants, and any special format differences from prior “The Voice” seasons.
