The show, set to debut on CBS, is scheduled for release in the fall of 2025.
Blake Shelton is gearing up for a new TV project, and this time, Taylor Sheridan is along for the ride.
On Monday, November 11, it was revealed that The Road, a new singing competition series, has been officially picked up and is set to premiere in the fall of 2025.
The CBS docuseries, produced by Blake Shelton, Taylor Sheridan, Lee Metzger, and David Glasser, will track a “headlining superstar” (to be revealed later) on their mission to discover the next big artist, as stated in a press release.
The Road will provide “a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring artist,” offering exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes aspects of the music industry. The series will explore “what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams,” according to a press release.
On The Road, musicians will join the headlining superstar on tour, performing as opening acts at venues across the country. They will compete to win over local fanbases, securing their place in the next city and continuing the tour.
“I’m a big fan of Taylor’s incredible work, and I’m excited to team up with him and my long-time collaborator, Lee, on The Road,” said Shelton, 48. “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, 54, shared, “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.”
Glasser, 53, described the project as “a true labor of love.”
“I can’t thank CBS enough for supporting us on this journey to bring an incredible project to audiences everywhere,” he said.
