The Masked Singer season 12: next episode and everything we know about the singing competition

Logo for The Masked Singer season 10.

Ready to "take it off" again with The Masked Singer season 12? Well into its second decade, it's time to embark on the biggest and boldest season ever.

We can't wait to see which athletes, celebrities, reality stars and public figures find their way under masks. Will we see a few familiar faces from the 2024 Summer Olympics? It's anyone's guess!

The new season features new Masked Ambassadors who have been featured on the show in the past but now have connections to current contestants. So far Dick Van Dyke, Jewel, Ne-Yo and DeMarcus Ware will be making their return, with more names to be announced soon.

We also know that some of the theme nights include Miley Cyrus Night, Barbie Night, Footloose Night, Sports Night, 60's Night, Thanksgiving Night and Soundtrack of My Life. There will also be a Who Are You Fest featuring music from various festivals.

We're compiling all of the available information about the new season, so be sure to keep checking back for more updates as we get closer to the fall premiere. Here's everything we know about The Masked Singer season 12.

Next episode of The Masked Singer season 12

The Masked Singer season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox, with new episodes available to stream the following day on Hulu.

The December 18 episode is the season finale, "A Champion is Crowned." Here's the episode description: "Nick Lachey performs; the final two compete and the winner is crowned."

The Masked Singer airs on Fox, which is included with most cable providers. You can watch past seasons on Hulu, where you'll also find previous seasons of the show.

The Masked Singer season 12 premise

Here's the official synopsis of The Masked Singer from Fox:

"The Emmy Award-nominated singing competition features celebrities facing off against one another with one major twist: each singer is shrouded from head-to-toe in an elaborate costume, complete with full face mask to conceal his or her identity. Celebrities who have performed on the show include T-Pain, LeAnn Rimes, Nick Lachey, Gladys Knight, Donny Osmond, Seal, Patti LaBelle, Drew Carey, Lil Wayne, Mickey Rourke, Rob Gronkowski, Lonzo Ball, Wayne Brady, Wendy Williams, Tori Spelling, Dionne Warwick, Kermit The Frog, Caitlyn Jenner, Wiz Khalifa, Jewel, Dick Van Dyke, Ne-Yo and many, many more!

"With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers and even the other contestants are left guessing who is singing behind the mask. Ranging from Grammy Award winners to legendary athletes, and everything in between, the singers may attempt to throw the crowd off their scent, while keen observers might pick up on tiny clues buried throughout the show. One singer will be eliminated each week, ultimately revealing his or her true identity."

The Masked Singer season 12 panelists and host

Though we're awaiting official confirmation on the panelists, we imagine that The Masked Singer season 12 will feature several familiar faces. It's very likely that Nick Cannon (Drumline) will once again play host and master of ceremonies for the show, while Ken Jeong (The Hangover), Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg (Dirty Love) and singer Robin Thicke will make up the panel. We don't know at this point whether Nicole Scherzinger will be back to join the panelists or if Rita Ora (Wonderwell) will be filling in again.
