A new group of celebrities in crazy costumes are ready to take the stage. Although the ratings have fallen quite a bit, The Masked Singer remains one of FOX’s top-rated shows. Could it be cancelled, or is The Masked Singer sure to be renewed for season 13 and Spring 2025? Stay tuned.
A mystery singing competition series, The Masked Singer TV show is hosted by Nick Cannon, with Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, and Rita Ora sitting on the judges’ panel. Former contestants Dick Van Dyke, Jewel, Ne-Yo, and DeMarcus Ware will appear as Masked Ambassadors for new contestants. The show features singing celebrities facing off against one another with one major twist — each contestant is covered from head to toe in an elaborate costume, complete with a full face mask to conceal his or her identity. With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers — and even the other contestants — are left guessing who is singing behind the mask. In season 12, the costumed characters include Bluebell, Buffalo, Chess Piece, Dust Bunny, Goo, Ice King, Leaf Sheep, Macaron, Royal Knight, Sherlock Hound, Ship, Showbird, Strawberry Shortcake, Wasp, and Woodpecker. They’ll participate in themed episodes, focusing on Miley Cyrus, the Footloose movie, Barbie, 60s Night, Sports Night, Who Are You Fest, Soundtrack of My Life, and Thanksgiving.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
