“The Masked Dancer” finale hasn’t even aired yet and already Fox is teasing the contestants who will be competing on the upcoming fifth season of its parent series, “The Masked Singer.”
See below for you first looks at three of the Season 5 costumes: Phoenix, Grandpa Monster and Chameleon. Of course, there are still more contestants to come — but we don’t yet know how many will be participating this time around.

(In the fall, “The Masked Singer” Season 4 acted as the lead-in for “I Can See Your Voice,” which was renewed for Season 2 at Fox in January. The broadcast network has decided to slot “Game of Talents” in its place for this spring cycle.)
As TheWrap previously reported, when “The Masked Singer” returns for Season 5, Niecy Nash will be serving as guest host for the first few episodes, filling in for longtime emcee Nick Cannon. Cannon tested positive for the coronavirus before production had begun, and will return once he has recuperated.
Along with Nash as guest host and Cannon as host, “The Masked Singer” Season 5 will feature returning panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke.
