The Masked Singer returns for Season 5 and the show will have some changes to the format. The show will feature wildcard rounds for the first time.  The rounds will introduce a wildcard that will take the stage at the end of the show for a chance to unseat another contestant in the group and join the competition.

The season 5 contestants earned a combined 26 Grammy nominations, nine multi-platinum singles, four Academy Award nominations, three Super Bowl appearances, six Gold Medals, and two World Records.

Returning to the show will be judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger. Nick Cannon returns as host but not on every episode. Cannon is recovering from Covid-19, therefore Neicy Nash will be the guest host for some of the episodes.

The Masked Singer Season 5 premieres Wednesday, March 10, at 8 PM ET/PT on FOX.
