On Monday (November 11), CBS announced that a new singing competition series called The Road has been ordered for fall 2025, with Blake Shelton and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan among the executive producers. The Road will follow “a headlining superstar (to be announced) on their journey to discover the next big artist,” while also providing “a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring artist.” Musicians will join the headliner on tour as opening acts at venues throughout the country, competing to win over local audiences in order to land a spot in the next city and remain on tour.
“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 Shelton. “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.” (People)
