Masks up! It's time to watch The Masked Singer season 9 online (and you don't need cable), where you will see the Fox reality competition show return with a new cast of secret celebrities wearing crazy costumes. Season 9 is bringing back special themed episodes. And of course, the point of the show hasn't changed — the panelists will try to guess who's behind the mask.
All the judges are back — Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Robin Thicke — as well as host Nick Cannon. They'll be joined by guest panelists, including singer Jennifer Nettles.
The Masked Singer season 9 will have a similar format to the last installment. Each episode features three contestants. One will be eliminated mid-show and taken to the VIP section to see the other two facing off in a Battle Royale. The winner moves onto the next episode, while the runner-up is unmasked. However, this season introduces a "Ding Dong Keep It On" bell, which allows a panelist to save a singer.
Here's everything you need to know to watch The Masked Singer season 9 online.
