'The Masked Singer' Season 5: First Look Ahead of the FOX Premiere

Grandpa Monster
The Masked Singer producers have now concocted a family story for some of the characters. This season will introduce Grandpa Monster, the grandfather of Season 1's Monster (T-Pain) and Season 3's Miss Monster (Chaka Khan). We can only hope that future seasons will introduce the grandchildren.
Black Swan
In a teaser for the new season, host Niecy Nash called the Black Swan the "most celebrated black swan since Natalie Portman." This is a reference to Portman's Black Swan, which earned her the Best Actress Oscar.
Phoenix
The bird theme continues in Season 5 with this Phoenix costume. Not much is known about this performer, but let's hope the wings are not so heavy they prevent the wearer from giving a standout performance.
Chameleon
This year's contestants have won a combined "26 Grammy nominations, nine multi-platinum singles, four Academy Award nominations, three Super Bowl appearances, six gold medals, and two world records," according to Fox. It will be fun to see how many of those achievements Chamelon has on their resume.
Russian Doll
This looks to be among the most intricate Masked Singer costumes ever. In a teaser PEOPLE published, fans saw that the Russian Doll can multiply. "They multiplied! That means we could multiply more!" Jenny McCarthy said in the clip.
The Masked Singer producers picked Niecy Nash to replace Cannon while he was sidelined with the coronavirus. Cannon is expected to be back on the show before Season 5 ends. "I was honored to stand in the gap and just be a tiny placeholder for him, for his franchise and his series," Nash said earlier this week. She was previously on the show as a guest panelist.
