Get ready to dust off your detective hats and polish those wild guesses – The Masked Singer is returning for its lucky Season 13! FOX has officially announced that the show is set to premiere on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 8.00 pm EST, continuing its reign as one of television's most bizarrely entertaining spectacles.
While Season 12 keeps us guessing, the network is already gearing up for the next round of masked mayhem. The star-studded panel will see the return of Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora, who's continuing her stint as Nicole Scherzinger's replacement. Nick Cannon will also be back to host the musical guessing game.
Filming for the new season kicked off on October 22 and wrapped up on November 20, proving that the masked magic never stops.
What to expect from The Masked Singer Season 13?
Nicole Scherzinger fans might need to hold onto their tissues a bit longer. Our beloved "Sherlock Scherzy" (Nick's pet name for her) will be sitting out another season as she continues to dazzle audiences as Norma Desmond in Broadway's Sunset Boulevard. After winning London's Olivier Award (think British Tony Award, but with more tea), Nicole's been busy collecting rave reviews on Broadway, making it impossible for her to juggle both masked singers and show tunes.
But don't worry – Rita Ora has been holding down the fort magnificently. Having cut her teeth on The Masked Singer UK, Rita's brought her own brand of detective work to the US version. While she might not have earned a Sherlock-themed nickname yet, she's proven herself more than capable of solving clues and delivering show-stopping performances.
While specific details about the new season are still under wraps (pun absolutely intended), we can expect even more outrageous costumes and creative theme nights if past seasons are anything to go by. The show has already given us everything from Leaf Sheep to Ice Kings, so we can only imagine what the costume department is cooking up for Season 13.
The new season will keep its traditional 8.00 pm EST Wednesday time slot, followed by The Floor at 9.00 pm EST. FOX seems to be betting big on this lineup, even giving The Floor a post-Super Bowl debut on February 9 before it moves to its regular slot.
Looking back at The Masked Singer's legacy
Since its 2019 debut, The Masked Singer has unmasked an impressive roster of celebrities. The show has consistently delivered jaw-dropping reveals, from T-Pain's Monster to Vanessa Hudgens' Goldfish.
Season 12 alone has given us reveals including NFL legend John Elway, Community star Yvette Nicole Brown, and actress Laverne Cox, proving the show hasn't lost its touch for attracting diverse talent.
Despite twelve seasons in, The Masked Singer shows no signs of slowing down. Each season brings innovations, wilder costumes, and increasingly creative ways to hide celebrities in plain sight.
Whether Nicole eventually returns to her detective duties or Rita continues to make the role her own, one thing's for sure – Season 13 promises to be another wild ride in television's most elaborate guessing game.
And hey, if nothing else, we'll always have Ken Jeong's hilariously wrong guesses to keep us entertained. Here's hoping he finally guesses correctly in Season 13 – though we're not betting on it!
