The Masked Singer is back!
Season 12 of the mystery celebrity singing competition premiered on Wednesday night (Sept. 25) on Fox.
The show, which began in South Korea, features celebrities singing songs while wearing costumes and face masks concealing their identities until they’re eliminated. Throughout the season, the contestants provide clues to try and help the judges and fans figure out who is under the mask.
This season also features Ambassadors, who are all alums of the series, that have a special connection to each singer and will be providing major new clues about their friends’ identities.
During the episode, Buffalo, Woodpecker, Leaf Sheep, Showbird, and Ship hit the stage for their first performances of the season.
While on stage, Buffalo performed “(I Just) Died in Your Arms” by Cutting Crew.

MASKED AMBASSADOR: Nick Lachey aka Season 5 winner Piglet
“I am pumped to be part of an exclusive group of Masked Singer ambassadors, here to endorse our friends. My vote goes to the Buffalo,” Nick said of Buffalo. “Raised in the poorest grasslands, the Buffalo had it tough. Sleeping in roach-filled beds at night, and practicing at bus stops by day… Buffalo, you really are a national treasure and always the center of attention at my epic Super Bowl parties. I just have no doubt you’re going to stand out from the herd this season.”
