Blake Shelton is teaming up with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan to launch a new singing competition show in 2025.
CBS announced the series, under the working title The Road, on Monday (November 11). Shelton, Sheridan, Lee Metzger and David Glasser will serve as executive producers. The docuseries will follow a to-be-announced headlining artist as they aim to discover the next powerhouse star. The artists will tour the country and opening acts will compete to win local fanbases to remain on the tour, per CBS.
“I’m a big fan of Taylor’s incredible work, and I’m excited to team with him and my long-time collaborator, Lee, on THE ROAD,” Shelton said in a statement on Monday. “I know a thing or two about singing competitions and what it’s like to chase a music dream and live life on tour. I’m looking forward to discovering new talent and giving them this platform.”
“There is a revolution taking place in country music. Building a platform with Blake for the next leaders of that revolution is an incredibly exciting venture,” Sheridan added in a statement of his own. “No more shiny floors and studio audiences. This is where the rubber meets the road – literally. Get in the van, go to the next town and win the crowd. Do it enough, and you become the next leader. Simple as that.”
The Road is set to launch in fall 2025.
