The Voice USA is set for its 23rd season and the new coaches appear ready for war.
In a major shake-up to the panel, former One Direction hitmaker Niall Horan and Chance The Rapper are making their debut on the show, while Kelly Clarkson returns after a season out.
Joining them is Blake Shelton - the only ever present on the coaches' table - for what will be his last-ever series.
And in the teaser clip for the newest edition, which premieres on Monday evening on NBC, viewers are promised they will be in for "one wild ride".
It looks as though it could be a case of the old guard versus the rookies in a bid to grab the best talent. In the video uploaded to the show's official Twitter account, Niall and Chance are seen embracing as they get ready for the blind auditions.

Niall Horan has joined the panel of coaches on The Voice USA (NBCTheVoice)As the teaser shows both Chance and Niall jumping for joy as they beat their rivals to the pick of the bunch during the auditions, Chance tells the camera: "Kelly and Blake seem to be the best of the show. They know how everything works, but they should definitely watch out because me and Niall are on fire right now."
Niall then belts out to the audience: "It's a rookie season," as the show's veterans appear to struggle to woo the wannabes to join their team.
"Kelly and Blake, the so-called veterans around here, are just not living up to it," the Irishman brags.

After Chance teased Kelly for losing another hopeful, she admitted: "I think they don't like the older coaches today," before she praised the newbies for not being nervous in their maiden series.
As the four later gathered for a chat, Blake complained: "These new guys in here, man. They're coming in and taking over."
But the country star still had enough to make a jibe at his old rival, mocking Kelly for being "maybe the worst coach we've ever had on this show".
