Eason Chan and Liu Huan replaced Wang Feng and Harlem Yu as coaches.
[3] A month later, on 28 April, Wang Feng issued a statement via his management to announce his departure from the show to focus on his music career, but hinted a possibility of returning in the future seasons.
With this, Liu was once again rumoured to be joining the show to fill the final seat on the coaching panel.
Lu once again refuted the claim, stating that the promotional banner is "fake", and the team has yet to finalise on the selection of the final coach.
It was previously rumoured that Li Yong would not return for his second season and be replaced by Shen Tao, a host from Zhejiang Television.
[8] On 14 July, Hu Qiaohua was revealed as the host on the premiere episode for the season, with Li exiting the show.
The coach's respective victory songs ("谢谢侬" for Chan, "春暖花开" for Na, "千万次的问" for Liu, and "霍元甲" for Chou) would also be played in the background.
[9] Eason Chan auditioned as a joke with one of his signature songs "十年", with all three other coaches pressing their buttons for him.
At the end of the Playoffs, each coach will crown one artist as their team winner, who will later represent them in the finals.
Coach Eason Chan crowned two team winners, instead of one, as he had the most artists (seven) competing in the Playoffs.
In the Final Showdown, the remaining artists will perform a solo song against their fellow team member.
Similar to the Knockout rounds, the artists will receive votes of approval from a 51-person panel at the end of the performances.
The Top 5 performed live in a two-part season finale on 8 October, held at the Beijing National Stadium.
The thirteenth episode was a two-hour special aired on 4 October, featuring performances by the coaches and artists in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
