The Masked Singer season 9 premieres in February, and there are many details to know about the new season of the celebrity mystery singing competition. Hosted by Nick Cannon, The Masked Singer season 1 premiered on January 2, 2019, and has since become one of the most popular reality singing competitions. Throughout the series, celebrity contestants sing while wearing costumes to conceal their identities. The panelists, including Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and the occasional celebrity guest, offer their predictions of who is behind each mask.
The Masked Singer winners have been some of the most celebrated and beloved entertainers in the industry. They include T-Pain (Monster in season 1), Wayne Brady (Fox in season 2), Kandi Burruss (Night Angel in season 3), and LeAnn Rimes (Sun in season 4). Other celebrities who took home the Golden Mask Trophy are Nick Lachey (Piglet in season 5), Jewel (Queen of Hearts in season 6), Teyana Taylor (Firefly in season 7), and Amber Riley (Harp in season 8). The Masked Singer season 9 is sure to deliver even more fantastic performances.
The Masked Singer Season 9 Host & Panelists
The Masked Singer season 9 will once again feature Nick as the host. He will be joined by returning panelists Robin, Jenny, Ken, and Nicole, who performed regularly during season 8. The guest panelists have not been revealed, but there are sure to be many throughout the season.
The Masked Singer Season 9 Costumes
So far, nine of The Masked Singer season 9 costumes have been revealed. Images of four of the masks appear on The Masked Singer's Instagram page, including French Hen, Doll, Axolotl, and Moose. French Hen is a brown bird who wears a beret with an open beak. Doll looks handmade with a blue face, a stitched mouth, and sewn-on red buttons for eyes. She wears a hat with feathers. Axolotl is pink with large eyes and a smile on its face. Moose is brown with giant orange antlers. In addition to these new characters, five other Masked Singer season 9 characters were announced by The Masked Singer on YouTube. They are Mustang, Dandelion, Jackalope, Gargoyle, and California Roll. Photographs of these masks have not yet been released.
The Masked Singer Season 9 Format
Although The Masked Singer season 9 has not made an official announcement about its format, there is a hint that it will follow the season 8 one. On Camera Audiences, the website where fans can get free tickets to The Masked Singer tapings, includes a message that audience members can experience two reveals live at the tapings. This seems to indicate that once again only one celebrity will make it through to the next round.
The Masked Singer Season 9 Theme Nights
After the great success of the first-ever theme nights on The Masked Singer season 8, they will return in season 9. On Camera Audiences announced several of the season 9 themes. The Masked Singer season 9 premiere is simply called "Opening Night." This is similar to the first episode from The Masked Singer season 8, which did not have a theme. The Masked Singer season 9 theme nights include ABBA, New York, Superhero, Sesame Street, Country, and 80s Nights.
