Fox is singing a happy tune, renewing the music guessing game show I Can See Your Voice for Season 2, to air in 2021, the network announced on Wednesday. Ken Jeong will return as host and executive producer, while Cheryl Hines and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton will be back as permanent celebrity detectives.

The program features a rotating panel of celeb guests “to help one contestant tell the difference between good and bad singers, without ever hearing them sing a note. With $100,000 on the line, the contestant will attempt to weed out the bad ‘Secret Voices’ from the good, based on a mystifying lip sync challenge, interrogation and a series of clues.”
