The Masked Singer is a reality singing competition based in America. The Masked Singer is based initially on a reality singing competition named King of Mask Singer which was first held in South Korea. The first season of The Masked Singer was released on 2nd January 2019, with 12 contestants and, in total, ten episodes aired, with T-Pain, who was contested as ‘Monster,’ the winner of the 1st season.
The Masked Singer singing competition is produced and aired by Fox Productions. By 2023 Fox has aired a total number of 9 seasons of The Masked Singer. Season one of the reality competitions was an absolute blast, with a total of 11.48 million viewers around the world.
The Masked Singer has become a sensation since its arrival, capturing audiences with its unique concept and engaging the audience in the mystery of guessing the masked celebrities. With nine already completed and successful seasons, the show continues to provide intense competition and unforgettable performances.
The show’s immense popularity, averaging a 1.2 live + 7-day rating among adults 18-49 and 7.7 million viewers, made the series renewal inevitable. In May 2023, Fox officially confirmed the return of The Masked Singer for its tenth season.
The announcement arrives just in time as the celebrity singing competition prepares to crown its newest champion during the upcoming finale episode of the ninth season scheduled for this Wednesday.

Along with The Masked Singer, the revival of I Can See Your Voice for a third season was also announced. The date of the new season’s release is not yet announced, but it is predicted that The Masked Singer Season 10 is expected to premiere sometime around late 2023 or early 2024. The show will likely continue its weekly Wednesday night time slot of 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT on the Fox network.
A similar format will be expected in the new tenth season, as masked celebrities deliver their talent in singing and being judged by judges. However, there will be a twist as only one contestant will advance from each episode based on the studio audience’s vote. The singer with the least votes will be unmasked during the episode, joining the VIP section to witness the competition unfold.
The top two singers will then engage in a Battle Royale performance, with the winner being crowned the King or Queen of The Masked Singer and moving on to the next week’s episode. The three finalists remaining after each round will compete in the Semi-Finals. The Masked Singer Season 10 will retain its beloved host, Nick Cannon, and the panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke. The new season will introduce fresh faces that will be revealed as the episode’s premiere, keeping the element of surprise intact.
