The Voice continues to be one of NBC’s most-watched series but the ratings have certainly dropped over the years, in part because fans have shifted to delayed viewing. Prior to season 18, the series typically aired twice a week. Now, it usually airs just once a week. Could The Voice be cancelled soon or is it guaranteed to be renewed for season 21? Will NBC begin airing the series just one cycle a year? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
The Voice TV show is a singing competition series that’s hosted by Carson Daly and sometimes airs twice a week. Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Blake Shelton return to coach in season 20 and are joined by Nick Jonas (who last judged in season 18). This season’s battle advisors are Luis Fonsi (Team Kelly), Brandy (Team Legend), Dan + Shay (Team Blake), and Darren Criss (Team Nick). The competition is divided into four stages: blind auditions (including the return of the “block”), battle rounds, knockouts, and live performances.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
