Levine, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend are returning for The Voice season 29. Notably, there will not be a fourth coach.
Since the reality competition show’s debut in 2011, the three singers have appeared on and off. Clarkson was most recently on season 23, while Levine and Legend sat in the red chairs during season 27.
Per NBC, they are “powerhouse coaches who form the only panel in the show’s history comprised entirely of Voice winners.”

The Voice is refreshing its format for season 29, called The Voice: Battle of Champions.
For the new installment, there are three coaches instead of the usual four, and each coach will have 10 artists on their teams. In another twist, the competition will feature four rounds.
For the Blind Auditions, the coaches will go head-to-head in a Triple Turn Competition, where they will try to earn the most three-chair turns. The winner will gain “a special advantage in the next round,” according to NBC Insider.
During the Battles, the coach with the most three-chair turns will be awarded a Super Steal, a power that can be used once and overrides the other coaches’ attempts.
The Knockouts round will feature an “in-season all-star competition,” with the coaches recruiting two performers from their teams in previous seasons.
The show will conclude with a Top 9 semifinal, leading to a Top 4 finale, where for the first time, “a new voting block comprised of super fans and past Voice artists will be involved.”
Which performers are returning for The Voice season 29’s all-star competition?

According to Deadline, the coach with the most wins in the sing-offs will have a second finalist in the finale.
