There's no new episode of The Masked Singer tonight (but we know when it returns)

The Masked Singer is one of our favorite shows on Wednesday nights. There isn't a new episode on tonight, and we have a bit of mixed news when it comes to the return.

THE MASKED SINGER: L-R: Nick Cannon and Drake Bell in the “Miley Cyrus Night” episode of THE MASKED SINGER airing Wednesday, Nov. 20 (8:00-9:02 PM ET/PT) on FOX

Wednesday nights are supposed to be all about The Masked Singer. There’s some bad news tonight, Wednesday, Dec. 25. There isn’t a new episode on tonight.

This won’t be too surprising when you consider the date. It’s Christmas Day, and that means a lot of people are with family and friends. They’re watching Christmas movies and specials rather than checking out the latest episode of a top TV show.

There’s not even a rerun of The Masked Singer. The network is opting for a rerun of its LEGO Masters 2024 holiday special. If you want to watch an episode of the musical reality series, you’ll need to turn ot Hulu.

Why isn’t The Masked Singer new tonight?

There are a couple of reasons for the break. The first is that it’s the time of year for TV shows to go on a break. The linear ratings take a hit, and it doesn’t make sense to put them at risk.

At the same time, the previous episode was the season 12 finale. We got the final unmasking, seeing a group win The Masked Singer for the first time in its run. This would naturally mean a break until the next season of the series. In some good news, we don’t need to wait until next fall, which we would for many other shows. We just have to wait until next year.

The Masked Singer season 13 will return in February 2025

There isn’t too long to wait for the new season, as FOX has confirmed the show will be back on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025. We’ll get to see the new group of masks battling it out to win the title. Of course, that means new clues and new guesses for us!

While February is a little disappointing for those who want the show back now, there is a reason for this. A February start means a full run through to May with minimal breaks in the schedule. We love consistency in the schedule, right?

The Masked Singer will return on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 8/7c on FOX.
