The Masked Singer<\/em><\/a> is officially coming back for season 15, but the long-running FOX<\/a> hit is undergoing a major behind-the-scenes overhaul before it returns to television.<\/p>\n According to a new report from Deadline<\/a>, FOX has renewed the celebrity singing competition for the 2026-27 broadcast season while also handing production duties to a new company.<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong>\u2018Masked Singer\u2019 Winner Reveals What It Was Like Competing Against Her Husband (Exclusive)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The series reportedly will now be produced by Eureka Productions, the Fremantle-owned company behind shows including The Floor, <\/em>Farmer Wants a Wife<\/em><\/a> and Netflix<\/a>\u2019s The Mole<\/em>. The move marks a significant shift for the franchise, which had been produced internally by Fox Entertainment Studios in recent years.<\/p>\n Deadline also reported that the show is expected to move production from Los Angeles to the East Coast, with New Jersey emerging as a likely new filming location thanks in part to its production tax incentives. FOX insiders reportedly believe the move could also open the door to a wider range of celebrity contestants, including Broadway performers and stars based in New York.<\/p>\n The production shakeup comes after what Deadline described as creative concerns surrounding the show\u2019s most recent season, with sources telling the outlet Fox wanted to inject \u201cnew life\u201d into one of its biggest unscripted franchises.<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong>\u2018Masked Singer\u2019 Runner-Up Jokes He Tried to Get Eliminated Early (Exclusive)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The series also appears set to continue its newer one-season-per-year format after FOX reduced the show\u2019s schedule beginning with season 14. Fox CEO Rob Wade previously said the break was intended to give the franchise \u201cbreathing space\u201d creatively after years of producing multiple seasons annually.<\/p>\n Despite the behind-the-scenes changes, it\u2019s not yet clear whether the show\u2019s on-camera lineup will be affected. Nick Cannon<\/strong><\/a> currently hosts the series alongside panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Ken Jeong<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Robin Thicke<\/strong><\/a> and Rita Ora<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Since debuting in 2019, The <\/em>Masked Singer<\/em><\/a> has remained one of FOX\u2019s biggest reality hits, helping launch a new era of celebrity competition shows in the U.S. The format originated in South Korea before becoming a breakout success<\/a> stateside.<\/p>\n Related: Randy Jackson\u2019s Dramatic Weight Loss Over the Years\u2014What He\u2019s Said About His Health<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally published by <\/em>Parade<\/em><\/a> on May 8, 2026, where it first appeared in the <\/em>TV<\/em><\/a> section.
