Those who missed Christina Aguliera and Cee Lo Green as judges and coaches on NBC's "The Voice" will not have to wait long as the network unveiled the premiere date of the singing competition's fifth season.

"The Voice" returns on Monday, Sept. 23 with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. Shakira and Usher, judges from Season 4, will leave the show until Season 6 next spring.

As Mstars previously reported:

"The Wrap reports that Aguilera, who left the show after Season 3 to promote her album Lotus, has signed a contract to return to the show, according to an individual with knowledge of the deal. That same insider said the deal has been kept quiet for months.

The executive told the site that Aguilera will earn $12.5 million for the fifth season of "The Voice."

A different insider told The Wrap that the pop star made $17 million for Season 3, which made her one of the highest paid women in all of reality television. The insider said she could earn that amount again depending on how many hours she works.

Green would not make anything approaching that amount of money.

The network is also negotiating with Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, who have judged and coached on the show in each of its four seasons. An insider said both men are expected to return for Season 5."
