The Masked Singer Returns to ProSieben Nov. 8 With Season 12 and a Revamped Panel

The relaunch reflects ProSieben’s move back to a single annual season following a ratings slide in 2024.

Overview

  • Six live episodes will air Saturdays at 20:15 from November 8 to December 13 on ProSieben, with free streaming on Joyn.
  • Matthias Opdenhövel returns as host, with permanent panelists Verona Pooth and Chris Tall joined by a rotating guest each week.
  • ProSieben has unveiled four new costumes — KING, MUUHNIKA, Quietsch and Rave‑ioli — while all celebrity identities remain undisclosed.
  • The broadcaster paused the format in February 2025 and reverted to one season per year after season eleven averaged 8.1% among 14–49s and 5.4% overall.
  • Viewers will again vote via the app, and each episode concludes with a demasking as the competition builds toward the December finale.
