Season eight is set to premiere on September 21st as the secret masked celebrities will be revealed throughout the fall of 2022. The Masked Singer is a top-secret singing competition where celebrities dress in elaborate costumes in hopes of fooling panelists and viewers. Each week the contestants in their respective groups perform and give away clues. One contestant is eliminated, and they must reveal themselves.
Season Eight Preview
There are significant changes in store for the show this year. The new season will introduce what is being called “a King and Queen of The Masked Singer” style competition featuring sudden eliminations and double unmasking every episode. Each episode will feature several performances, but only one singer will move on from each episode.
The studio audience will vote for their favorite, and the singer with the least votes will have to unmask in the middle of the show. Then the top two singers will face off in Battle Royale of the same song, with one singer moving on. It will be interesting to see how the new format works out and what other twists are in store.
Another change is theme nights which will influence the song choices, set designs, and overall performances each week. Theme nights include “Vegas Night,” “Hall of Fame,” “Thanksgiving,” “Fright Night, “and “90s Night.” Fans will see the return of clue packages, first impression guesses, and the Golden Ear Trophy. This new season features more celebrity contestants, with 22.
Season Eight Costumes
The new costumes are some of the most innovative and cutest ones this season. It’s time to unveil some of the new masked contestants who compete in season eight. Some confirmed costumes are the Sir Bug a Boo, Avocado, and Scarecrow. There is also confirmation of a Venus Fly Trap, Dragon bride, Mummies, and Hedgehog.
