The Masked Singer Australia is returning this year for another season of musical mystery with a new cast of mysterious masks with famous faces behind them.
On September 11, at 7:30 pm on Channel 10 and 10 Play, the guessing panel returns to play the guessing game and figure out which celebrities are hiding behind the costumes.

Guessers Mel B, Chrissie Swan and Abbie Chatfield will take in the clues and hints to figure out the famous face behind the mask while Dave Hughes will be there for the ride and try his best.
Last August, International popstar and former member of The Pussycat Dolls, Melody Thornton, was crowned the winner of The Masked Singer Australia.
The American singer took the title ahead of singers Sheldon Riley (Snapdragon) and Hugh Sheridan (Rooster).
For her final performance, Mirrorball’s rendition of Donna Summer‘s Last Dance had the judges as perplexed as ever.
Mel B was certain Mirrorball was Australian singer-songwriter, Samantha Jade, Chrissie Swan hedged her bets on socialite, Nicole Richie, Abbie Chatfield locked in American actress and singer, Hilary Duff, and Dave Hughes got an applause with his first correct guess of the season.
This week, Mediaweek chatted to Tamara Simoneau, head of lifestyle programs at Paramount ANZ about the new season, what value the guessers bring to the show and what goes into keeping the singer’s identity a secret.
Simoneau discussed how this season ups the ante in terms of the vocals and while clues will be present, 2023’s iteration promises the most surprising reveal ever.
“We’ve got a cast full of more powerhouse singers than we’ve ever had before on The Masked Singer Australia,” she said.
“People are really going to get their socks blown off.”
