Mask Singer is a French reality television series based on the format of the South Korean television game show series King of Mask Singer by Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation.[1] Run by TF1 Group, Mask Singer is a singing competition between celebrities donning elaborate costumes and face coverings to conceal their identity from the audience, judges and other contestants.[1]

The first season of Mask Singer premiered 8 November 2019. Hosted by Camille Combal, it featured TV host and producer Alessandra Sublet, singer Anggun as well as humorists Kev Adams and Jarry on the judging panel.[1] The second season commenced filming in 2020, and aired from 17 October to 28 November 2020 with the same host and panel.[2] The third season started airing on April 1, 2022, featured the exact same host and panel, along with a surprise fifth judge, a new addition to the series. The fourth season started to air on August 23, 2022, on a weekly prime-time format. The fifth season began on April 14, 2023. The sixth season began on May 3, 2024.

Format

[edit]

A group of celebrities compete anonymously on stage, singing in full costumes over a series of episodes. Each episode, a portion of the competitors are paired off into face-off competitions, in which each will perform a song of his/her choice. From each face-off, the panelists and live audience vote: the winner's safe for the week, while the loser is put up for elimination. At the end of the episode, the face-off's losers are then subjected to new votes of the panelists to determine who will not continue. The eliminated singer then enters a special room backstage where it turns its back to the camera, takes off its mask, then turns around to reveal his/her identity to the viewers.

In addition to the singing competition, hints to each masked singer's identity are offered during the show. Pre-taped interviews are given as hints and feature their distorted voices. The panelists are given time to speculate the identity of the singer after the performance and ask them a single question to try and determine their identity.

Panelists and host

[edit]

Following the announcement of the series, TF1 announced that the judging panel for season 1 would consist of Radio & TV Host Alessandra Sublet, singer Anggun and comedians Kev Adams and Jarry. Said panel remained for seasons 2 and 3. On June 4, 2022, it was announced that three new panellists would join Kev Adams for the fourth season in replacement to Jarry, Alessandra Sublet and Anggun : ventriloquist and stand-up comedian Jeff Panacloc, actress and comedian Chantal Ladesou, and singer-songwriter Vitaa ; constitute the new panel of judges for season 4.
