After crowning Gretchen Wilson<\/strong> \u2014 aka Pearl \u2014 its Season 13 champ back in May, The Masked Singer did something it hasn\u2019t done since its 2019 debut: it vanished from Fox\u2019s fall schedule. The break wasn\u2019t a twist, a gimmick, or a costume malfunction \u2014 it was intentional. For the first time in franchise history, the reality behemoth hit pause to give its overworked crew, producers and cast some much-needed breathing room after years of back-to-back cycles (including being the first show to barrel back into production during COVID). Now, eight months later, the glitter cannon is finally being reloaded.<\/p>\n The Masked Singer returns to Fox with Season 14 on Jan. 7, promising new costumes, new secret celebs, and the kind of weekly spectacle the franchise always delivers. Read on for everything to know about the new season.<\/p>\n More from Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n The Masked Singer\u00a0kicks off on Jan. 7 with a special two-hour Season 14 premiere featuring a double unmasking (8-10 p.m. ET\/PT).\u00a0 One week later on\u00a0Jan. 14,\u00a0The Masked Singer\u00a0will move to its regular Wednesday time-period (8-9 p.m. ET\/PT) ahead of the series premiere of\u00a0Fear Factor: House of Fear\u00a0hosted by Johnny Knoxville<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Fan-favorite panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg<\/strong>, Ken Jeong<\/strong>, Robin Thicke<\/strong>, and Rita Ora<\/strong> are back \u2014 ready to guess, laugh, and celebrate another season of incredible performances.<\/p>\n Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Rita Ora and Ken Jeong in ‘The Masked Singer’ Michael Becker\/FOX<\/p>\n Nick Cannon<\/strong> has hosted The Masked Singer since it premiered in 2019 other than an unscheduled break during Season 5 when he caught COVID.
