Get ready for a popstar invasion as Rita Ora gears up to join the illustrious panel of The Masked Singer Season 11. The British sensation is set to bring her star power to the stage, joining the returning trio of Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Robin Thicke, alongside the charismatic host Nick Cannon.
Expressing her excitement in a newly released trailer, the 33-year-old singer shared, “I am so thrilled to be stepping in as season 11’s new panelist.”
Season 11 promises to unleash masked mayhem with 16 fresh celebrities poised to captivate audiences with their hidden talents. The upcoming season, premiering on Wednesday, March 6, is expected to deliver even more mystery, breathtaking performances, and, of course, a dazzling array of costumes.
FOX has teased a lineup of intricate new costumes, including “Gumball,” “Starfish,” “Lizard,” “Ugly Sweater,” “Goldfish,” and “Book.” An exclusive preview last week unveiled Cleocatra, a cat dressed as the Egyptian ruler.
This season marks a significant change as Rita Ora steps in for Nicole Scherzinger, who is currently performing in a musical in London. FOX expressed gratitude for Ora’s participation, stating on social media, “We’re grateful to have the amazing Rita Ora shine her light and join us as a panelist on #TheMaskedSinger Season 11!”
Interestingly, this panel shift is the first since the show’s debut in 2019, emphasizing the unique energy Ora brings to the judging table. Notably, Ora is no stranger to “The Masked Singer,” having previously served on the judges’ panel for four seasons of the UK edition.
As Season 11 unfolds, viewers can anticipate themed episodes such as “The Wizard of Oz” in celebration of the classic film’s 85th anniversary. Other themed nights include “Transformers,” “Billy Joel Night,” “Queen Night,” and “TV Theme Night,” woven into song selections, costumes, celebrity guests, and set designs.
Don’t miss the grand unveiling as The Masked Singer Season 11 kicks off on Wednesday, March 6 at 8/7c on FOX. For those who can’t catch it live, episodes will be available on Hulu, Fox.com, Tubi, and On Demand for an encore experience.
Get ready for a season filled with surprises, spectacular performances, and Rita Ora’s infectious energy.
