‘The Masked Singer’ Season 9 Preview
When “The Masked Singer” returns for its ninth season, the show will debut a “Champion of the Masked Singer” format, according to the FOX press release.
Here’s how that works:
TV’s favorite guessing game returns with all-new singers, all-new themed episodes and the “Champion of the Masked Singer” style competition. Every episode features sudden elimination and double unmaskings, but there is a new twist entering the competition this season: for the first time ever, panelists will have the opportunity to save a singer from looming elimination with the “Ding Dong Keep it On” Bell. Who will be revealed and who will reign supreme? Play along with host Nick Cannon and celebrity panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke.
After the big premiere, FOX has released information about episode two, which will be an ABBA-themed episode.
The description reads:
Two new characters enter the competition and two will be unmasked in the all-new “ABBA Night” episode of The Masked Singer.
Mamma Mia — it’s ABBA night on The Masked Singer! This week’s episode is full of pop rock and disco nostalgia, as the reigning champ takes on two new celebrity singers, each performing iconic songs — including “Dancing Queen,” “Fernando” and “S.O.S.” — from the one and only Swedish supergroup, ABBA. The stakes are higher than ever as the crowning champion of the episode will head straight to the semi-finals.
The press release also gave fans a by-the-numbers sneak peek at the season nine contestants:
- 28 Primetime Emmy Award nominations
- 6 Grammy Award wins
- 10 certified Gold albums
- 4 Golden Globe nominations
- 5 medals
- 26 books
- 2 Tony Award nominations
- 5 Lifetime Achievement awards
- 4 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
- A combined 95 million records sold
The characters that we know so far include Dandelion, Fairy, Axolotl, Jackalope, Gargoyle, California Roll, Gnome, Mustang, Medusa, Polar Bear, Rock Lobster, Rooster, Voodoo Doll, Salamander, Moose, and Night Owl.
And in addition to ABBA night, other theme nights include New York night, DC Superhero night, “Sesame Street” night, ’80s night, movie night, and “The Masked Singer” in space night. Plus, Scherzinger and Thicke are expected to perform again this season like they did in season 8.
Finally, in the 30-second spot that aired during Super Bowl LVII, the show teased that the premiere will feature “the most legendary, decorated and beloved unmasking in history” of a contestant who has won a Tony, Emmy and Grammy.
“The Masked Singer” returns for its ninth season on Wednesday, February 15 at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on FOX.
