Though it really doesn\u2019t need the ratings boost, \u201cThe Masked Singer\u201d Season 3 will debut immediately after Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, when the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers. Following its premiere in the coveted post-game slot, the show will air its next episode on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 8\/7c and then continue in that time period weekly.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry, your standard team is still intact for Season 3: Nick Cannon will be returning as host and Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke and Jenny McCarthy will once again serve as the show\u2019s panelists.<\/p>\n
Right now we know of at least three: Jamie Foxx, who will join the panelists for the show\u2019s Season 3 premiere on Sunday, Jason Biggs and Leah Remini. But Fox says that \u201cSeason 3 promises celebrity guest panelists in many episodes,\u201d so we\u2019ll keep you posted as soon as we know if previous \u201cMasked Singer\u201d guest judges like Joel McHale, Anthony Anderson and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog will be back \u2014 and which new faces will be stopping by the show.<\/p>\n
In Season 1, \u201cThe Masked Singer\u201d had 12 celebrity contestants competing. For Season 2, 16 contestants competed. In Season 3, the show will boast its largest lineup yet: 18 masked competitors.<\/p>\n
Fox has revealed these 15 new costumes: Llama, Banana, Miss Monster, Frog, Mouse, Robot, Kangaroo, White Tiger, Turtle, Astronaut, Swan, Kitty, Rhino, Bear and, as exclusively unveiled by TheWrap, Taco.<\/p>\n
According to Fox, \u201cThe format will be changing slightly in season three.\u201d \u201cThe contestants will be split into three groups of six \u2013 Group A, B, and C. Group A will kick off the first three episodes as they whittle down from 6 to 3 singers,\u201d per the network. \u201cThen we will meet Group B as they go from 6 to 3, then Group C. The final 9 contestants from these three groups will then come together and battle it out the rest of the season for the golden mask trophy. As always, one celebrity will still be unmasked in every episode, including the premiere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Season Three contestants have amassed a combined 69 Grammy Award nominations, 88 Gold records, 11 Super Bowl appearances, three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, more than 160 tattoos and one title in the Guinness Book of World Records,\u201d per Fox.<\/p>\n
