The Masked Singer S05: We're Betting Newest Mask Isn't Natalie Portman
With FOX's The Masked Singer set to return for a fifth season starting next week, viewers already know that there's one big change in store already with the new wildcard rounds. Each round features new masked celebrities (costumes not yet revealed) who will have the opportunity to take the stage to unseat another contestant and take their spot on the road to The Golden Mask Trophy. We've also had the opportunity to meet Chameleon, Grandpa Monster, Phoenix, and Russian Doll masks- and now we can add another name to the list of this season's competitors. With host Nick Cannon and panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke back for a season-long round of guessing and speculating (and Niecy Nash stepping in for the season-opener), here's a look at your newest masked singer, Black Swan.
And here's a look at the preview video introducing viewers to the newest masked celebrity- with FOX's fifth season of The Masked Singer set to kick off on Wednesday, March 10:
Now here the official key art images for our three previously-announced masks:
