CBS is looking ahead.

Just one month after officially launching this current season, the Eye network has announced The Road, a new singing competition for fall 2025. From The Voice alum Blake Shelton and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, The Road, per the logline, will “follow a music superstar on a journey to discover the next big artist, with budding singers joining the headliner on tour, performing as opening acts in venues across the U.S. The singers will compete to win over local fan bases in order to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour.”

The Road will also give exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry as up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.

The headlining artist has not been revealed at press time.

CBS, of course, has cornered the market in the reality comptition genre care of the long-running Survivor, The Amazing Race and Big Brother. But the network has failed to making a dent in the singing space.

“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, said Blake Shelton 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.”

Added Sheridan: “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. 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 produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, David Glasser’s 101 Studios and Blake Shelton’s Lucky Horseshow Productions.
