The Road S1 E1 | The Road Series Premiere Preview

A behind-the-scenes look at the new music competition series, THE ROAD, following 12 talented emerging musicians as they compete as opening acts for GRAMMY Award winner Urban at music venues across America. In his search for the next big artist, alongside GRAMMY Award winner Gretchen Wilson, who acts as “Tour Manager” for the series, Urban is joined throughout the season by executive producers Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan, and country music stars Jordan Davis, Karen Fairchild, Dustin Lynch and Brothers Osborne, who guide these seasoned musicians, and along with a live venue audience, determine who advances to the next city. In the end, only one will walk away with the grand prize: a performance slot at Stagecoach Country Music Festival 2026, a recording contract, an exclusive Red Bull prize package and $250,000. THE ROAD premieres Sunday, Oct. 19 (9:00 PM - 10:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+. Air Date: Oct 15, 2025
