Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Craig Robinson, THE MASKED DANCER features celebrity contestants shaking their tail feathers, while covered from head-to-toe in elaborate costumes and face masks, leaving the panelists -- Ken Jeong, Paula Abdul, Brian Austin Green & Ashley Tisdale -- to guess their identities. Costumed celebrities are joined on stage by masked partners and back-up dancers, as they perform a series of dances together; spanning from hip-hop to salsa, jazz to tap dancing and more. When it comes to dance styles, the sky is the limit. Each week, a series of clues is sprinkled throughout packages, costumes and routines, leading the panelists one step closer to figuring out which famous faces are freestyling behind the masks. Between all of the celebrity competitors in Season 1, they've amassed more than 38 million albums sold worldwide, 20 Emmy Award wins, 20 Grammy Award nominations, 10 World Dancing titles, five New York Times Best-Selling Author titles, four Olympic gold medals, and three Broadway show appearances.

THE MASKED SINGER has a special series premiere on Sunday, December 27, 2020 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on FOX, live in all time zones. The series then moves to its regular timeslot -- Wednesdays at 8pm -- beginning with new episodes on January 6, 2021.
