Blake Shelton, John Cena, Chelsea Handler, Metallica, Shaquille O' Neal, Michael Strahan, Jeff Gordon, Billy Eichner and Seth MacFarlane are also set to star on the show.

"The new Carpool Karaoke series features 16 celebrity pairings riding along in a car together as they sing tunes from their personal playlists and surprise fans who don't expect to see big stars belting out tunes one lane over," reads the synopsis.

"I'm still going to see my kid on the weekends," Corden said previously of not having to host the series for every episode as he does on his late night show. "This just became a wonderful platform to see these people in such an intimate environment. I don't feel it's mine."

Corden will still continue to produce Carpool Karaoke segments as part of The Late Late Show.
