Season 8 of The Masked Singer premieres later this month, and fans can expect some big changes to the hit reality show’s format when it does.
For the first time, each episode will feature a completely new round of masked celebs with only one contestant moving forward by the end of the hour. Plus, the audience will vote in-studio for their favorite performance of the night and the singer with the lowest tally will then unmask in the middle of the show before taking his or her place in the new Masked Singer VIP section to watch the rest of the episode.
Once the group is whittled down to the final two singers, they’ll go head to head with the same song for the title of King or Queen of The Masked Singer and move on to the next episode.
