Based on the smash hit FOX series “The Masked Singer” and inspired by a popular segment featured on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” all-new celebrity competition series “The Masked Dancer” will be hosted by comedian Craig Robinson.

Joining the show as panelists are “The Masked Singer” and “I Can See Your Voice’s” Ken Jeong, world-famous choreographer and singer Paula Abdul, actor and the former “Giraffe” Mask on “The Masked Singer” Brian Austin Green and actress and singer Ashley Tisdale.

“The Masked Dancer” will feature celebrity contestants shaking their tail feathers, while covered from head-to-toe in elaborate costumes and face masks, leaving audiences to guess their identities. Costumed celebrities will be joined on stage by masked partners and back-up dancers, as they perform a series of dances together – spanning from hip-hop to salsa, jazz to tap dancing and more. When it comes to dance styles, the sky is the limit.

Each week, a series of clues will be sprinkled throughout packages, costumes and routines, leading the panelists one step closer to figuring out which famous faces are freestyling behind the masks. Between all of the celebrity competitors on the show, they've amassed more than 38 million albums sold worldwide, 20 Emmy Award wins, 20 Grammy Award nominations, 10 World Dancing titles, five New York Times Best-Selling Author titles, four Olympic gold medals and three Broadway show appearances.
