The Masked Singer has become a huge hit and season 2 is upon us. For those unfamiliar with the show, celebrities dress in elaborate costumes and sing for votes. Each week, the celebrity with the least amount of votes is eliminated. In the meantime, clues are given and a panel of judges give their guesses as to who could be behind each mask. Last season, there were 12 contestants and they included Donny Osmond, T-Pain, Rumer Willis, Tori Spelling and Ricki Lake. This season, there are 16 performers.
The premiere date is set for September 25, 2019, airing at 8 p.m. ET/PT and 7 p.m. CT, on the Fox network. A sneak preview will air on Sunday, September 15, 2019, at 8 p.m. ET/PT as well.
