Fox's The Masked Singer season 14 introduces two new contestants in elaborate costumes: Pangolin and Le Who Who. The season promises fresh twists, including a known insider competitor and themed episodes. It premieres on January 7, 2026.
The long-running Fox reality competition The Masked Singer gears up for its 14th season with exclusive reveals of new costumed characters. TVLine has disclosed Pangolin, inspired by the scaly anteater native to Africa and Asia, known for its shy nature and protective scales against predators. Le Who Who draws from the popular Labubu collectible toys, adding a playful twist to the lineup.
Joining previously announced costumes such as 14 Karat Carrot, Calla Lily, Croissants, Eggplant, Galaxy Girl, Googly Eyes, High Voltage, Owl, Pugcasso, Queen Corgi, Scarab, and Snowcone, these additions expand the roster of disguised celebrities. The show retains its core panel: judges Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora, alongside host Nick Cannon. The premiere airs Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 8 p.m. on Fox.
A notable innovation this season is the introduction of Kylie Cantrall from Disney's Descendants franchise as "America's Insider." Unlike past formats, audiences will know her identity and costume from the start, while the judges—including Rita Ora, who portrays Cantrall's mother in the films—remain unaware. This setup aims to heighten dramatic irony and provide behind-the-scenes glimpses.
Season 14 features themed nights including Star Trek, Clueless, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Twilight, Spice Girls, and Care Bears. Additional episodes encompass a Fear Factor: House of Fear segment with clues from Johnny Knoxville, and Ozzfest Night, featuring a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne delivered by his daughter Kelly Osbourne, a season 2 alum under the Ladybug mask.
These elements signal an exciting evolution for the series, blending nostalgia, pop culture, and surprise reveals to captivate viewers in 2026.
