FOX Renews The Masked Singer for Season 10
FOX Entertainment confirmed the renewal of the hit competition series The Masked Singer for a tenth season during its Upfront Presentation in New York. Rob Wade, CEO of FOX Entertainment, unveiled the network’s 2023–2024 content slate to advertisers at the Manhattan Center on Monday, May 15. While the full fall schedule will be released in June, the network made clear that The Masked Singer will return for season 10, continuing its place among FOX’s unscripted staples.
Although The Masked Singer’s ratings have moderated from the extraordinary highs of its early seasons — and the show recently recorded season lows — it remains a strong performer for network television. Competing reality franchises like Survivor, American Idol and The Voice often draw higher numbers in the key 18–49 demographic, but The Masked Singer continues to deliver reliable audience engagement and significant cultural impact through its unique blend of mystery, performance and star reveals.
The Masked Singer season 9 finale is scheduled to air on Wednesday, May 17 and will feature host Nick Cannon alongside the familiar judges’ panel: Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger. This panel has become a signature element of the franchise, combining music expertise, celebrity chemistry and comedic banter as they attempt to identify the hidden celebrities behind elaborate costumes.
Beyond The Masked Singer, FOX highlighted a broad slate of returning unscripted series for the coming season. Several established reality and competition shows will be back, including Farmer Wants a Wife, Hell’s Kitchen, I Can See Your Voice, LEGO Masters, Name That Tune, Next Level Chef and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. Additionally, Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares returns with a fresh season focused on restaurant makeovers, and LEGO Masters will expand its holiday programming with a second multi-night special, LEGO Masters: Celebrity Holiday Bricktacular.
New music guessing game hosted by Jamie Foxx
FOX also announced a new music-based guessing game, We Are Family, which will be hosted and executive-produced by Jamie Foxx and co-hosted by his daughter, Corinne Foxx. The concept centers on non-famous relatives performing duets with a hidden famous family member. Studio audiences will be made up of contestants who play through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay, each competing for a chance to win up to $100,000 by correctly identifying which celebrity the performer is related to before the grand reveal.
We Are Family aims to combine musical performance with family storytelling, offering viewers emotional moments and surprise celebrity appearances spanning musicians, athletes, actors and other well-known figures. The format puts emphasis on identifying vocal traits and familial resemblances while creating an interactive, game-driven environment for both contestants and the TV audience.
At the time of the announcement, FOX reiterated that specific premiere dates and the full fall lineup would be shared in June. The upfront presentation served to reassure advertisers that unscripted content will remain a cornerstone of FOX’s programming strategy, balancing returning hits with new formats designed to attract broad, engaged audiences.
Separately, reports note that Jamie Foxx has been recovering from a recent health event at a Chicago rehabilitation hospital, and in the interim his daughter, Corinne Foxx, has been stepping in to cover hosting responsibilities on the summer series Beat Shazam. FOX’s ability to line up established talent and fresh concepts signals the network’s continued investment in big-idea unscripted entertainment that can perform across linear and digital platforms.
With The Masked Singer entering its tenth season, FOX is banking on the show’s proven format — elaborate costumes, high-stakes reveals and celebrity panel chemistry — to keep viewers tuning in. As networks prepare for the 2023–2024 season, the combination of returning franchises and innovative new series like We Are Family will shape FOX’s strategy to sustain audience growth and advertiser interest in the competitive unscripted TV landscape.
