Blake Shelton Returns to TV for ‘The Road’ Singing Series Alongside Keith Urban: Everything to Know
Blake Shelton is dusting off his boots and ready to rock TV screens during the upcoming singing competition series, The Road. The country star will be working behind the camera, while Keith Urban will serve as the celebrity face of the series as they search for music’s biggest rising star.
Life & Style shares everything we know about the CBS reality series, including the premiere date, cast and more.
What Is ‘The Road’ About?
The Road offers viewers a “backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring artist,” CBS describes. “With exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.”
Keith Urban Leads ‘The Road’ Contestants to Victory
The series will follow Keith as he helps aspiring musicians win over crowds at various venues around the nation, which is something he’s familiar with.
“I spent a lot of my underage life playing in some seedy pubs, sometimes just for the bartender. So I love the idea of throwing artists into a real-world environment to find out if they are artists,” the “Somebody Like You” singer said in a February 2025 news release. “Paying your dues sucks, but there are things in this business that can’t be taught, like how to put together a set list, whether to extend or cut a song during your performance or how to work the crowd. For me, touring has always been my first love. It’s where the rubber meets the road. But it’s the only road to take if you want to be a performer.”
Who Produces ‘The Road’?
Blake sat as an executive producer of the show alongside Taylor Sheridan, Lee Metzger and David Glasser.
“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,” the former Voice coach said in a statement. “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.”
‘The Road’ Teaser Gets Fans Hyped
The Road got fans hyped when the series dropped its first teaser via Instagram on March 27, 2025.
The clip featured a tour bus traveling down the road with text revealing Blake, Taylor and Keith’s roles in the competition.
Fans rejoiced in the comments section of the post and shared their excitement for a new singing competition to land on their TV screens, especially with Blake’s magic behind the scenes.
“Can’t wait with Blake involved, you know it’s gonna be great,” a fan wrote in the comments section.
A second person added, “This was so fun! Thanks for the opportunity to take part. It’s a great show.”
When Does ‘The Road’ Premiere?
The Road is set to premiere in Fall 2025 on CBS, and Paramount+ subscribers can enjoy the music-filled series after each episode airs on cable.
