When Will ‘The Voice’ Season 18 Premiere with Coach Nick Jonas?
It’s almost time for the coaches to take their seats and start their search for the next big star.
If you’ve been patiently waiting for The Voice to return, the wait is almost over, friends!
NBC’s singing competition returns for its 18th season on Monday, February 24 with a brand new judge, Nick Jonas, joining vet coaches Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, and John Legend.
The Jonas Brother is making his coaching debut, though he’s been on the show before as he previously served as a team mentor on season 8 for Christina Aguilera’s team.
Shelton’s girlfriend and former coach, Gwen Stefani, won’t be returning this season, but it doesn’t seem like Shelton minds all that much.
In a new promo for the season, Shelton pretends not to know who Nick Jonas is when everyone around him is getting pumped for the pop star’s arrival. Legend quickly realizes that Shelton is acting and goes into his room where he finds a shrine to the Jo Bro. What a man crush!
As Nick approaches, Shelton’s eyes gloss over like a girl at a Jonas Brothers concert for the first time.
The Voice’s Instagram has truly capitalized on Shelton’s obsession with the Jonas Brother, and honestly, it’s made for some incredible content. This is the bromance we never knew we needed.
The season will be pretty star-studded with Bebe Rexha (Team Blake), Dua Lipa (Team Kelly), Ella Mai (Team Legend) and the Jonas Brothers (Team Nick) joining as battle round advisors.
The 18th season will stick to the formula that has worked — blind auditions, battle rounds, knockouts, playoffs, and live performances.
Jonas will have some stiff competition in Blake, who has a total of 6 winners on his record, Kelly who has a total of 3, and Legend with one win.

La Brea
Was ‘La Brea’ Renewed For Season 3?

La Brea fans, you have something to celebrate.
NBC has given an early season 3 renewal to the prehistoric sci-fi series. The network gave the green light right just before season 2 kicked off on Jan. 31, returning from hiatus with two back-to-back episodes. (Read our review!)
Per TVLine, La Brea will get six episodes in the third season with the possibility of scoring more down the line. And if no additional episodes are green-lit, six feels like a solid number that would be enough to provide a solid conclusion for dedicated fans.
The series averaged about 5.4 total weekly viewers, including DVR audiences, in its first season run, however, its midseason return fared rather poorly with 2.1 million and 2 million for both episodes, respectively. All of that could change once playback numbers are factored in proving that the drama was worth saving after all.
The series, which premiered in September 2021—and fills the sci-fi gap left behind by shows like Timeless and Debris—follows a group of people who fall through a mysterious sinkhole in Los Angeles and find themselves transported to 10,000 B.C.
Big Sky
Will There Be a Season 4 of ‘Big Sky’?

Big Sky ended on a high note on Wed, Jan. 18, wrapping up a whirlwind season filled with murder, mystery, and deception.
And naturally, fans are already craving more, especially as each season of the series delves into a new storyline centered in Helena, Montana, and involving Dewell & Hoyt’s Cassie Dewell and Jenny Hoyt.
As of now, ABC has not renewed Big Sky for a fourth season, and it may be months before we get any insight into the matter.
In terms of ratings, the series kept steady with 2.4 million viewers and a 0.2 demo, which means ABC could go either way with their decision.
The fact that they brought in the big guns like Reba McEntire and Jensen Ackles for this season likely means the network believes in the series—and it’s hard to argue with the dedicated fanbase that has stuck around through every twisted and over-the-top plot.
The third season wrapped up many lingering storylines, giving fans closure to the mystery plaguing the season, however, there’s always more to explore when it comes to the dynamics between the core characters. And something tells me, there’s no shortage of criminal activity in Helena.
While Cassie and Cormac finally made things official, fans were likely hoping to see a bit more romance for Jenny and Ackles’ Beau. The show has been toying with their chemistry, sparking a “will they or won’t they” debate, but when it finally came down to solidifying their relationship, they left it open-ended. While it may have been frustrating to fans, it’s likely the show’s hope that it’s enough to convince ABC to green light another season to allow them to explore these relationships further.
When TV Insider asked Ackles if he’d return for a fourth season, he explained, “I don’t know. They haven’t even picked up the show yet for Season 4, so I don’t know if anybody’s coming back for Season 4 yet. That’s above my pay grade.”
However, he added, “But if they do decide to pick up a Season 4 — which I would hope they would, I think the show’s really great, and I think it’s got a lot of story left to tell — I don’t know. They had me for one season. They were probably like, well, let’s just bring him in for one, and we’ll see how it goes, and then we’ll go from there. So they’re waiting to hear what happened with the show, and then they’ll probably talk to [showrunner] Elwood [Reid] and try to figure out what to do with the characters, those that are returning and those that they want to return.”
Seems promising!
Once ABC gives the word—we’ll update this post accordingly. In the meantime, don’t be shy, read our review of the Big Sky Season 3 finale right here.

Why Is Taylor Kinney Leaving ‘Chicago Fire’?

Shocking news Firehouse 51—Taylor Kinney is exiting Chicago Fire.
Deadline reported the news on Friday, Jan. 20, revealing that the actor, who anchors the show as Kelly Severide, will be taking a break from the series.
Kinney has been a staple on the Dick Wolf drama since its inception in 2012 and is a huge reason why the series has retained such a dedicated viewership.
While an official reason was not provided, and a rep for the show did not offer a comment, sources close to production told the outlet that Kinney is taking a “leave of absence” to deal with a personal matter. No word on what the situation is.
The cast and crew were reportedly informed of the leave right before the news broke, with the writer’s room likely having to rewrite scripts to accommodate the change.
It’s unclear whether this will be a permanent leave, nor is there any info about how he will be written out for now.
Kinney has not addressed the news himself as of writing.
This is the latest shocking exit in the #OneChicago world as Jesse Lee Soffer, who plays Jay Halstead on Chicago PD, exited earlier this season, while Brian Tee hung up his coat earlier this season on Chicago Med after portraying Ethan Choi since 2015.
