This show hasn’t hit any sour notes for FOX. To no surprise, the network has renewed The Masked Singer for a fifth season which will air sometime in 2021. It’s unclear if season five will air in the spring, as part of the 2020-21 season or, if viewers will have to wait until next fall.

A costumed singing competition, The Masked Singer is hosted by Nick Cannon and features panelists Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, and Robin Thicke. The show features celebrities facing off against one another with one major twist — each singer 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. The costumed characters in season four include Baby Alien, Broccoli, Crocodile, Dragon, Giraffe, Gremlin, Jellyfish, Lips, Mushroom, Popcorn, Seahorse, Serpent, Snow Owls, Squiggly Monster, Sun, and Whatchamacallit.

Here’s the renewal announcement:
