The Voice ended its 21st season on December 14, 2021, and made history.
The finals saw a 56-year-old backup singer, a 14-year-old teenager, and the first trio to ever make the finals in The Voice history battling in the finals.
The trio, Girl Named Tom, became the first trio to ever win on The Voice.
With such an explosive finale, fans are already wondering when the show will return for more great singing action.
Here is everything we know so far about The Voice Season 22.
This article provides everything that is known about The Voice Season 22 and all related news. As such, this article will be updated over time with news, rumors, and analysis. Meanwhile, let’s dig down into what is known so far.
Is there going to be a Season 22 of The Voice?
NBC has not yet renewed The Voice for a 22nd season, but there is little doubt that the show won’t be back.
While ratings dropped for The Voice this season, that was true across the board for most television shows.
7.22 million viewers watched The Voice Season 21 premiere with a 1.1 rating and 6.98 million watched the finale, with a 0.7 rating.
In the optimal demographic, The Voice averaged a .84 rating in the 18-49 demo on Monday nights. The overall viewership on Monday nights was 6.73 million viewers.
On Tuesday nights, The Voice averaged 6.87 million viewers and hit .84 in the 18-49 demographic.

Release date latest: When does The Voice Season 22 come out?
Since NBC has not renewed The Voice yet, there is no word on an official return date.
However, we can pretty accurately predict when The Voice will be back on NBC.
The Voice has aired twice a year, but that all changes in 2022. Instead of airing once in the fall and once in the spring for each year, the fall season that just ended is the only time The Voice will air this television season.
This means it won’t be back until fall 2022.
“Going into the 21st cycle in the fall, The Voice remains one of the most popular shows on television and we want to keep it that way. We want to eventize this iconic series,” Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said.
“We think The Voice will be on NBC for a very long time to come and we believe the best way to protect the brand, while also super-serving fans, is to produce one amazing cycle this year.”
Almost every single season, The Voice premiered in September, with the only time it didn’t coming in the COVID-19-altered 2020 fall season.
We expect The Voice to return to NBC on September 19, 2022, but that is only a guess at this time.
We will update this article when NBC makes the return date official.
The Voice Season 22 cast updates
There is no word on who will be back for The Voice Season 22.
In Season 21, there were three returning coaches with Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, and John Legend. They were also joined by a brand new judge in Ariana Grande.
However, there is a chance that lineup is switched up in Season 22.
There have been a lot of rumors that Season 21 was the last season for Blake Shelton. The rumors indicated that NBC wants to bring in someone else young like Ariana Grande to help increase the younger audience numbers.
However, shockingly, Ariana Grande didn’t have a single person in the finals, showing that her age and popularity didn’t translate in people voting for a winner.
There is no guarantee that Ariana Grande will return next season. She showed throughout the season that the show was devastating for her. She was often left in tears when her singers went home, and there is a chance she wouldn’t want to experience that again.
The return of Kelly Clarkson is almost guaranteed, and John Legend should be back as well.
Carson Daly will also almost surely be back as the host.
If any of the coaches leave the show, there is a good chance that some older coaches could return, including Gwen Stefani. There is also a chance NBC could reach out to another young star like Ariana Grande to join the lineup and bring in young viewers again.
We will update this article when NBC reveals the coaches for The Voice Season 22.
The Voice Season 22 spoilers
There is no word on who will try out for The Voice in Season 22.
Expect a great number of singers in all genres, including more duos and trios, competing for the big prize at the end of the season.
When NBC decides the fate of The Voice, it will set up the schedule for the blind auditions, and fans should expect this to happen in late summer 2022.
NBC has yet to announce when The Voice Season 22 will premiere.
I won’t watch the voice anymore if Blake isn’t on it he made the show what it was.
No Blake! I won’t be watching
The voice should be for those that do not have the experience of singing and need a coach to get them where they have to be …being a back up singer for major groups has to much experience and takes that away from them
The group a Girl Named Yom was such a joke. They are not that could and should have never won. You all pushed them and never gave a shot to Perry or the 14 year old girl. No wonder your rating were down. The past 3 or 4 year the show has gone down hill.
Arianna Grande…..didn’t she say she hates America? Not a fan
I will not watch it if John comes back he is so boring. I say’s the same thing over and over again.
I like the program but if Blake leaves I think it is time. He has been on since the start. The program can use some new faces John and Kelly are OK just change the other two.
Why get rid of Blake, if he goes The Voice will lose alot of viewers. Not a wise decision
If Blake goes I won’t watch the show again. He makes the show.
Without Blake there will be no “The Voice”. He makes the show!
If Blake goes I will not watch
We’re probably not going to watch any longer due to a trio win. Unfair advantage over all other contestants. Love Blake but tired of the forced bickering with him.
No Blake i will not watch.
I can’t stand that donut licking brat Ariana Grande I didn’t watch this season because of her! Love the rest of the crew?if she’s back I’m done with the voice!
The Voice HASTO return! And if Blake leaves, I leave!! #TeamBlake
I think Blake makes the show……need to replace Ariana Grande
Bring back Miley Cyrus!
I didn’t like Ari Grande at all. She just did not fit in with the other judges. I hope Blake Shelton remains on the show, but I didn’t like it when Gwen Stefani was a judge. It seemed to be the Blake & Gwen show an the other judges just seem to fade into the background.
If John Legend is back, I won’t watch it due to his involvement @ Epstein Island
I’ve watched the voice since the very first episode and without Blake it wouldn’t be the same. I love him, Kelly and John , I would love to see Alicia Keys join them again
Blake makes the show funny. John is a super gentleman and great role model. Kelly, while so talented, is often phony and talks over other people too much (rude). Ariana is pretty to watch but is emotionally too fragile. I watch the show on Hulu because they put it on at the same time as American Idol. Sometimes I watch it and Hulu Idol.
