Fox is bringing back more tunes and crazy costumes The network has handed out a season four renewal to their hit reality singing series, The Masked Singer.
The renewal came yesterday during Fox’s investor’s earnings call. Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch said they are looking at a Fall debut, despite the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic:
“Should conditions allow for it, we are planning production in early August of Season 4 of The Masked Singer, which we’ll target for a fall debut.”
The renewal for The Masked Singer comes as no surprise because the show has been a behemoth in the ratings for Fox. Its second season averaged a 3.0 Live+7 rating, ranking as last season’s No. 1 entertainment program (tied with This Is Us) and marking the first reality series to claim that rank, according to Fox and Nielsen. The reality series, hosted by Nick Cannon, returned for its third season with a post-Super Bowl premiere February 2, with Jamie Foxx, host and executive producer of Fox’s Shazam, joining returning panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke.
The news of the renewal for The Masked Singer comes as the third season of the quirky entertainment show, which features celebrities donning outlandish outfits to sing famous cover songs, is heading to its finale on May 20.
