‘The Masked Singer’ Season 2 FINALLY Has a Premiere Date
If you love The Voice but wish the contestants looked more like Hello Kitty than boring old humans, you’ve probably found your obsession in The Masked Singer earlier this year. The premiere season of this prime-time techno Muppet fever dream was a massive hit, so naturally, it’s been renewed for a second season on Fox. And thank god, because a world without The Masked Singer isn’t a world I’m prepared to live in.
If you, too, cannot concentrate on anything in your life other than when the Masked Singer is coming back, then (a) please be my friend, there aren’t enough of us and (b) buckle up because I’m gonna tell you what you need to know about the show’s upcoming season.
It’s coming back in September!!
And they just dropped the trailer. Stop whatever you’re doing and watch this.
It’s already been renewed for season 3
Like, season 2 hasn’t even aired yet and Fox already confirmed that season 3 is gonna drop following Super Bowl LIV on February 2, 2020. SUCH IS THE POWER OF THE MASKED SINGER.
So, who’s new in season 2?
The judges-Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong (who is hilarious and the highlight of this whole operation, IMHO), and Nicole Scherzinger-will stay the same. Nick Cannon will also continue to host, fulfilling our Wild ’N Out reboot dreams. (Anyone? No? Just me? That’s fine.)
Of course, it’ll be a brand-new cast of celebs…and a brand-new set of seriously wild suits. I’m just praying that none of them involve a poison gas mask (looking at you, Deer).
Oooh, which celebs?
Obviously, you have to wait until they’re unmasked to find out, but there will be 16 contestants total. And Jenny says there should be some A-Listers this time around. NOT THAT THE SEASON 1 TALENT WASN’T VERY IMPRESSIVE.
“They were going to up the ante in terms of celebrities-not that we didn’t have amazing celebrities already. But you can only imagine once the celebrities saw that this show worked, whether that be athletes or actresses that we don’t know sing, have ringed their publicists to say, ‘Get me on the show!’” she said. “They were so overwhelmed with the response that we got picked up for season 3 already!”
There literally might be an after-show
HOW DID WE GET SO LUCKY?
According to Jenny, she’s already met with producers about this possibility:
“I met with some of the producers and there are now so many people in America that wanted to give their guesses and to interact, so there needs to be a live show afterward. Like an Andy Cohen with the creatures. So a kid can call up or an adult can call up and say, ‘I think it is so-and-so from the clue package!’ I think we will make it way more interactive than it was because we shot it so far ahead of time that it’s hard to do it live on the big stage. They are definitely, without giving too much away, moving in that direction.”
The costumes are even more deranged
While nothing can possibly top that terrifying deer ^^^, Nick says we should expect big things. “I hear the costumes are even more elaborate. I hear last season, we had 12 performers, and I hear we got 16 now. And I hear there’s, like, an egg [costume].”
IF! THAT! EGG! ISN’T! KYLIE! JENNER! SO! HELP! ME!
