The Masked Singer first began in South Korea and soon afterwards the franchise expanded and now Americans have its version of “The Masked Singer” which premiered on January 2, 2019, on Fox Network.
Last season’s winner was singer and songwriter Jewel who concealed herself as Queen of Hearts. It was an incredible season that included gifted performers in The Masked Singer’s history.
The competition series has so far released six seasons in total. Though the sixth season wrapped just weeks ago, fans are already eager to know more about the next instalment.
Without any further ado, here is what we know about the seventh season of The Masked Singer.
Has The Masked Singer been renewed for Season 7?
The sixth season was launched on September 15, 2021, and concluded on December 22, 2021, although the show has been releasing more than one season each year.
As of now, Fox network is yet to greenlit the competition reality series for a seventh season run. It also seemed like the last season dropped in ratings; this might lead to the network releasing just one season per year instead of two seasons and also to keep the audience hype going.
The Masked Singer season 7 release date: When is it?
Currently, the show is yet to be renewed by fox and not much is known concerning the seventh season.
Nevertheless, if the show does get renewed, we’d expect to see the new episodes sometime in 2022. No specific details are available but we shall await an announcement regarding the renewal status and the official air date of the show.
Host & Judges of The Masked Singer Season 7
Everything is being kept under wraps when it comes to the seventh season but it’s very much likely that the host and Judges as appeared on the previous seasons of the show will return to their respective seats for the next season.
Ever since The Masked Singer made its debut, the main cast— host and judges pretty much stayed the same. Nick Cannon has served as a host throughout the season while the judges are Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, and Ken Jong.
As for the contestants for the seventh season, it is not revealed yet nor the total number of contestants. The previous season had 16 contestants and each year it follows a different number of celebrities participating in the show.
The Masked Singer show always has a diversity of celebs, comprising actors, singers, athletes, and TV stars, who have part taken on the show, and it appears that the seventh season would follow the same pattern.
What to expect from Season 7 of The Masked Singer?
In season 6 of The Masked Singer, there was a huge addition. It introduced the Take It Off Buzzer that enabled any of the judges to whack the buzzer and state their guess about a participant’s identity at any moment.
If their guess is right on the point, the masked singer would be compelled to take his/her mask that very moment and thus be eliminated from the show. This addition to the previous season would continue in the seventh season but it is also likely that there would be new additions as well to make things more entertaining.
And to the fans who are anxiously waiting for the new season, the show will return sometime in 2022. However, nothing is confirmed at this time but given the huge success of the show, we’re optimistic about the future. Stay tuned for more updates!
Updates: The Masked Singer has a release date and it’s finally arriving on March 9, 2022.
