On March 21, 2020, the season was suspended until June 2020 due to the Enhanced community quarantine in Luzon done to lower the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Its timeslot was temporarily replaced by the re-run of the Kids' first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar (both Saturdays and Sundays) and sixth season of Pilipinas Got Talent (on Sundays only) until May 3, 2020, when the network was forced off the air 2 days later. The season returned on June 13, 2020, via cable television. [1]

In her column on December 19, 2019, it was confirmed that Lea Salonga will return to the show, alongside Bamboo Mañalac and Sarah Geronimo. They will return for their eighth, eighth, and seventh season of the franchise, respectively. It was also published that Apl.de.ap, one of the original coaches of The Voice of the Philippines, along with Salonga, Mañalac, and Geronimo, is set to return for his third season in the franchise, after four years of hiatus, replacing Sharon Cuneta.[2]

Hosts

Luis Manzano returns as host while Alex Gonzaga replaced her sister, Toni Gonzaga, as host. The two have previously teamed up on the first season of The Voice Kids.

Mechanics

Several mechanics were changed since the first season. A new feature added in the Blind Auditions this season is the Block. Each coach are given two blocks to prevent one coach from getting a contestant.[2] Also, each teams were increased to 16 members each, bringing the total of artists to 64.

It was announced that the format of the live shows will change, but no further details were given.

Online show

The online show entitled The Voice Teens DigiTV returns with Kaladkaren Davila and Jeremy Glinoga. The pair has also previously hosted the online show for the fourth season of The Voice Kids. However, the 11th and 12th episodes were aired without a live feed of DigiTV as part of the country's fight to stop the 2020 Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

However, when the show resumed airing, The Voice Teens DigiTV resumed live via Zoom Video Communications.

Community quarantine suspension

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the government announced on March 12, 2020 that Metro Manila would be locked down on March 15, 2020. Due to this, the March 14 and 15 episodes aired without a live feed of The Voice Teens DigiTV, while the March 15 episode lasted for 100 minutes instead of 75.

However, when the entire Luzon was placed under an enhanced community quarantine, The Voice Teens suspended its telecast from March 21, 2020, despite taping its episodes prior to the enhanced community quarantine, in which the first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids, replaced its timeslot until the temporary closure of ABS-CBN due to the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission on account of its franchise expiration.
