The Masked Singer Australia will premiere on Monday, 13 September at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play On Demand.
The most over-the-top costume party will see local and international superstars step into the spotlight for another season.
Leading the nation’s biggest guessing game is a crack unit of powerhouse detectives: Dannii Minogue, Dave Hughes, Jackie O and Urzila Carlson.
Earlier this month Mediaweek caught up with 10 ViacomCBS’s head of entertainment Stephen Tate about what to expect from the year’s biggest costume party.
“I probably shouldn’t say this, but if there is anything positive to come out of Covid, it’s that it helps with casting because so many amazing people are available,” said Tate. “The people that are under the masks this year will absolutely astound you. They would have been touring the world or doing festivals right now. The performance and recording industries have been very hard hit by Covid. We’re one of the few gigs where they can actually work.”

In 2020, The Masked Singer Australia finale had one final reveal as the Bushranger was revealed to be Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson and the winner of season two of Network 10’s singing show.
The show posted a national total average audience of 1.23 million viewers, including a capital city total audience of 915,000.
While Anderson went home the winner, the biggest accomplishment of the night might have been that the show went to air on its original air date after a series of production hurdles.
After several crew members of the show tested positive for Covid-19 hours away from the filming of the final episode, the show was put on hold and everyone, including the judges and host, went into two weeks of quarantine.
The Masked Singer Australia finale was rescheduled to record with feeds streaming in from different locations with a five-day deadline, with the show filmed across two countries, two states, two studios and a hotel room.
