### CBS Teams Up With Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan for New Singing Competition

Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan are collaborating for an exciting new venture that combines their expertise in music and television. The Voice star and Yellowstone creator have joined forces for The Road, a unique singing competition set to premiere on CBS as part of its fall 2025 lineup.

The announcement follows the thrilling season opener of Yellowstone, which aired on the Paramount Network and later on CBS, generating substantial buzz. The Road will follow a prominent music superstar, who has yet to be confirmed, as they seek out emerging talent to join their tour. Contestants will compete as opening acts in various venues nationwide, striving to win over local audiences to secure their spot in the next city.

Viewers will gain exclusive behind-the-scenes insight into the music industry, witnessing aspiring artists endure a demanding tour schedule, all while chasing their dreams. The series brings together the production talent of MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios led by David Glasser, and Lucky Horseshoe Productions, founded by Shelton and long-time collaborator Lee Metzger.

For CBS, The Road marks a return to singing competitions after a period focusing more on action-packed reality shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race.

Shelton, with a rich history in reality TV including Nashville Star and Clash of the Choirs, expressed his excitement, "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."

Sheridan, who created and produces the docuseries The Last Cowboy, added, "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."

Glasser emphasized the collaborative effort behind the project, highlighting how long the idea has been in the works. Metzger echoed the enthusiasm, noting the dream team nature of the collaboration and its significance for country music fans.

With The Road, CBS, Shelton, and Sheridan promise a captivating, gritty, and real look at what it takes to make it in the music industry, setting the stage for a new wave of country music talent to emerge.
