The network announced Wednesday that The Voice will expand to two-hour episodes at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Monday nights when its 29th season begins on Feb. 23. The change will give the show an hour where it's not airing directly opposite another singing competition, American Idol, which runs from 8-10 p.m. Mondays on ABC. The longer Voice episodes will also mean that Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto, will be absent from NBC's schedule for an extended time. The network says the remaining six episodes of the drama's second season will air later in the season or in the summer. Brilliant Minds has lost some viewers in its second season; it's averaging about 1.9 million viewers for its first airing (not including streaming or other delayed viewing), down from 2.97 million last season. The Brilliant Minds episode that aired Monday will be the last one for a while; the show was already set for a break the next two weeks for the Winter Olympics.
