Season chronology | |
The thirteenth season of the American television series The Masked Singer premiered on Fox on February 12, 2025.
Nick Cannon, singer-songwriter Robin Thicke, television and radio personality Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, actor and comedian Ken Jeong and recording artist Rita Ora all returned from the previous two seasons.
Additionally, the season is expected to include a costume similar to "Cluedle-Doo" (who was revealed as Donnie Wahlberg) from the fifth season. "Lucky Duck" will be featured in the season, and is expected to be unmasked during the season finale. [1]
Mario, who portrayed "Wasp" during the previous season, appeared in the season premiere. Shrek appears in the second episode.
The format is very similar to its predecessor; featuring three groups, with each group having five costumes. Each group will go through three episodes where one contestant will be eliminated in each episode. The two left in each group will join together in the episode called "Lucky 6 Speed Guessing". The panelists have the opportunity to use the "Ding Dong Keep It On" bell, but is has yet to be said how that will work. [1]
Much like the previous five seasons of the series, the thirteenth season featured the return of themed nights. Throughout the season, themes included nights dedicated to The Grand Ole Opry, "Boy Band Night", Decades, Rat Pack, Gods, "Carnival Night" and the film franchises Shrek and Ghostbusters . "Soundtrack Of My Life" will be featured once again after having already been represented in the previous three seasons. [2]
The first five contestants were revealed on January 15, 2025. [3]
The season will consist of 15 contestants split into three groups of five, similar to the previous season.
The contestants are said to boast a combined total of 28 Grammy nominations, 13 platinum albums, 150 albums sold, eight Olympic gold medals, four Emmy awards, five Super Bowl appearances and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[ citation needed ]
