The eleventh season of the American television series The Masked Singer premiered on Fox on March 6, 2024. The season was won by singer and actress Vanessa Hudgens as "Goldfish", with singer and actor Scott Porter finishing second as "Gumball".
Nick Cannon, singer-songwriter Robin Thicke, television and radio personality Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and actor and comedian Ken Jeong all returned as host and panelists. On September 13, 2023, it was announced that recording artist and panelist of the British adaptation of the show, Rita Ora, would substitute for longtime panelist Nicole Scherzinger, as the latter stars in the West End revival of Sunset Boulevard, conflicting with the filming of the eleventh season. Ora's addition marks the first major change to the panel since the series' inception.
The second episode features season four winner LeAnn Rimes ("Sun") as an additional guest, the fourth episode included Jill Whelan and Heidi and Spencer Pratt as additional guests, the sixth episode included Transformers characters Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) and Bumblebee as additional guests, and the eighth episode included Carnie Wilson of season eight runners-up Wilson Phillips ("Lambs") and Raven-Symoné ("Black Widow" from season two) as additional guests.
The format is similar to its predecessor; featuring three groups, with Group A starting with five costumes and Groups B and C starting with four. Each group will feature one wild card added later during the season. The panelists have one opportunity to use the "Ding Dong Keep It On" bell (introduced in the ninth season) to save one contestant, who moves to the quarterfinals with the group finalists. From there, three will compete in the semifinals and two will move on to the finale.
Much like the previous three seasons of the series, the eleventh season featured the return of themed nights. Throughout the season, themes will include nights dedicated to Billy Joel and Queen, film and musical The Wizard of Oz, film-toy franchise Transformers, "Girl Groups", and "Shower Anthems". Additionally for the first time, themes such as "Soundtrack Of My Life" and "TV Themes" will be featured once again after having already been represented in previous seasons.
The season featured 16 celebrities split into three groups; as well as three wild card contestants who entered the competition later during the season.
The contestants are said to boast a combined total of 22 Grammy nominations, 11 platinum albums, 33 Teen Choice nominations, 108 million records sold, 1.7 billion Spotify streams, and 326 film appearances.
