On September 27, the 10th season of The Masked Singer officially launched on Fox.
Sixteen secret celebrities appear in colorful costumes and distort their voices while talking.
Demi Lovato was another celebrity unmasked during a special preview before the show’s return.
The hit reality competition “The Masked Singer” is returning to Fox for its 10th season with 16 new contestants.
Each week, celebrity panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke try to guess the stars under an array of sometimes silly and flamboyant costumes, given a series of clues paired with a musical performance.
This season will feature themed episodes including “Trolls Night,” a celebration of DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming sequel “Trolls Together,” “NFL Night,” a Harry Potter-themed night airing in the run-up to Halloween, and an evening dedicated to some from Elton John’s Greatest Hits.
From a diver to a gazelle, keep reading to see all of this year’s contestants and the celebrities who have already been unmasked.
