The Voice UK is back for its 2024 season. In the UK, ITVX and STV offer free streaming for the new season, which premiered on ITV1 on Saturday, August 31, at 8 pm BST. This season looks to be one that both die-hard and new fans were anticipating, with a revamped panel of judges and intriguing AI assistance.

Olly Murs and Anne-Marie, the previous judges, left the competition this year and are replaced by American country music artist LeAnn Rimes and McFly's Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, who will share a seat as pair coaches for the first time on The Voice UK. Returning to the mix with their distinctive personalities and specialized knowledge are seasoned trainers Sir Tom Jones and Will.i.am.

ITVX does require a valid TV license even though it is free to watch in the UK. Viewers outside the UK might need a VPN to access this reality TV fixture.

LeAnn Rimes brings the required knowledge to the panel, having worked in the music industry for over thirty years. Her experience as a coach on The Voice Australia gives her a strong basis for guiding competitors on the UK version. She is known to be competitive, as the audience might have noticed this in the Aussie edition of the show.

Long-time McFly members Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones are sharing a seat as a coaching pair on The Voice UK. This is a first for the UK version of the show, although other international editions have successfully implemented this setup. Given Danny's past experience on The Voice Kids and their years of collaboration, this season could become an exciting new platform for McFly fans.


Technology & talent: the AI

Will.i.am introduces "Felicia," an AI assistant, in the 2024 season. Will.i.am is renowned for his innovative methods. Thus, his use of AI in teaching is anticipated to result in new ideas and approaches. Even if Felicia's precise purpose is yet unknown, the innovation ups the drama factor in the program.


A look back and what to expect

Last season featured notable performances and memorable journeys, with Olly Murs and Anne-Marie both playing key roles as judges. Anthonia Edwards, the champion of the previous year, raised the standard for the competitors this year with her strong voice and depth of passion.

The show's format is unchanged as usual: 10 singers are chosen by each coach from the blind auditions to create their teams. Subsequently, these competitors will face off in matches, elimination rounds, and live performances to take home a recording deal, monetary award, and vacation to Universal Resort in Orlando.


The first episode aired on Saturday, August 31, at 8 pm BST. With a good kick-start to the show, viewers can expect an exciting season ahead and choose their favorites along the way.
