The cast features returning fan favorites from previous seasons, divided into three groups of six for initial competitions spanning three episodes each. The top two point-earners from each group advance to the semi-finals, leading to a Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown grand finale.

The format revives the tournament style, emphasizing group challenges and eliminations based on points.
