'The Masked Singer' Season 5's First Exciting Trailer Teases Epic New Costumes!
Check out this first look at the new characters, and the new guest host Niecy Nash!
Chameleons, pigs and porcupines, oh my! The Masked Singer is returning for a hotly anticipated season 5, and the show is already giving fans a sneak peek at the new slate of wild and elaborate costumes!
The show dropped an exciting promo on Wednesday, just ahead of The Masked Dancer season finale, and showed a tantalized glimpse of just a few characters who will be singing their hearts out during the upcoming season.
While not all of the costumes were fully explained, a few of them seemed pretty self-evident -- including a cartoonish Pig costume, what appears to be a Black Swan ensemble, a somewhat unsettling Porcupine getup, and what looks like a possible Phoenix costume.
The trailer also provided fans with a first-look at guest host Niecy Nash -- who is filling in for longtime host Nick Cannon after he tested positive for COVID-19 -- and her grand entrance, carried onto stage on an ornate throne.
Additional costumes officially revealed by the show -- and seen briefly in the trailer -- included Grandpa Monster, complete with golf cap and walker, and The Chameleon, who appears to be decked out in a whole David Bowie-inspired glam rock look.
Celeb panelists Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy are all returning for the new season as well -- which is also expected to feature some fun guest panelists throughout the competition.
Season 5 of The Masked Singer kicks off Wednesday, March 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox!
