Niall Horan Returns to The Voice as Coach for Season 28

After a brief hiatus, Niall Horan is officially making his way back to The Voice. The singer and former One Direction member will return as a coach for the show’s upcoming 28th season, NBC has confirmed. Horan previously held the role for Seasons 23 and 24, where he found major success—winning both seasons with his team members Gina Miles and Huntley.

Horan’s return is exciting news for fans who appreciated his calm, insightful coaching style. Drawing from his own experience on The X Factor UK in 2010, he’s often credited his early start in the industry for shaping the way he connects with contestants. “Being there with the contestants every week, picking songs, keeping them calm—it brought me back,” Horan told People in 2023. “I just wanted them to enjoy the moment.”

Joining Horan on the coaching panel for Season 28 is none other than rap icon Snoop Dogg. A fan-favorite from Season 26, Snoop is also making a return to the red chair. Known for his broad musical taste and relaxed demeanor, Snoop brings a unique presence to the show. “This is a great opportunity for me to really give direction to some of these artists,” he said during a 2024 appearance on The Tonight Show. “Music is in everything I do.”

Horan and Snoop’s return adds star power and musical range to the coaching panel. With Horan’s pop and performance background paired with Snoop’s legendary hip-hop career, the upcoming season is expected to showcase a wide variety of talent. Both artists have expressed a genuine desire to nurture rising performers and help shape the next generation of stars.

Season 28 of The Voice is already generating buzz with this dynamic duo on board. Horan’s proven track record as a coach and Snoop’s deep musical knowledge promise a season full of exciting performances, heartfelt mentorship, and strong competition. As filming gears up, fans can expect another entertaining chapter in the Emmy-winning series’ long-running legacy.
