The Masked Singer features celebrities of varying singing capabilities dressing up in elaborate costumes and performing for a panel of celebrity judges who then have to try and guess who’s behind the masked, only to have it be revealed after fans vote out a singer. It sounds a little wacky, but as many fans have found watching the reality competition in its first five seasons it can also be a lot of fun.
Heck, The Masked Singer has been so successful for Fox that they made a spinoff series, The Masked Dancer, which is awaiting a season two renewal, as well as a U.K. version of The Masked Singer.
Season six of The Masked Singer has already gotten the greenlight from Fox. Here is what we know about The Masked Singer season six.
When does ‘The Masked Singer’ season six air?
Fox has announced that The Masked Singer season six will have its two night premiere on Sept. 22 and Sept. 23, starting both nights at 8 p.m. After the special two-night premiere it will continue just on its typical Wednesday at 8 p.m. time slot.
Joining The Masked Singer on Wednesdays will be the new Fox show Alter Ego, which will air at 9 p.m. Other new shows this fall from Fox include The Big Leap and Our Kind of People.
The Masked Singer debuted in February of 2019 and already has made its way through five seasons, so it is likely that season six is not the only new season of The Masked Singer that we will be getting in the 2021-2022 TV calendar.
What will be the ‘Masked Singer’ season six costumes?
The whole premise of The Masked Singer is that we don’t know who the celebrities are that are competing in the current season, instead we’ll just have the costumes and aliases that they will go by until they are revealed.
We now have the full roster of costumes for season six. They include Cupcake, Banana Split, Hamster, Queen of Hearts, Mallard, Dalmatian, Bull, Baby, Caterpillar, Beach Ball, Octopus, Pepper, Skunk, Pufferfish, Jester, Bull and Mother Nature. Watch some of the previews for these costumes below; all of them are available on the Fox website for The Masked Singer.
