The seventh season of the American television series The Masked Singer (also known as The Masked Singer: The Good, The Bad, and the Cuddly[1]) premiered on Fox on March 9, 2022,[2] following a sneak peek episode that aired on February 20.[3]

Panelists and host
Nick Cannon, singer-songwriter Robin Thicke, television and radio personality Jenny McCarthy, actor and comedian Ken Jeong, and recording artist Nicole Scherzinger all return as host and panelists.[2] Guest panelists in the season included Eric Stonestreet in the second episode and Nicole Byer in the fifth episode. Additionally, Leslie Jordan will serve as a guest panelist in the sixth episode.[4][5]
Unlike the previous three seasons, there are no first impression guesses made by the panelists, and the Golden Ear Trophy will not be awarded for the first time since its introduction in the fourth season.[6]
Contestants
The season features 15 contestants split into three teams known as "The Good", "The Bad", and "The Cuddly".[1] This is the first season since the fourth season not to feature wild card contestants, but also being the first to feature teams.[7]
"Hydra" is the first three-headed costume in the series while also sporting three legs due to its portrayers as well as featuring smoke-breathing features and a large size.[8][9] "Cyclops" is the largest costume to date.[10]
Reports prior to the season premiere claimed that controversial politician Rudy Giuliani was unmasked during the taping of the first episode. Giuliani's unmasking reportedly prompted panelists Jeong and Thicke to storm off the set as an act of protest,[11] though later reports indicated that Thicke only left to check on Jeong.[12] Although Giuliani was not unmasked in the premiere episode, a Fox Entertainment vice president told Newsweek, "...like most productions, the groups are not necessarily taped sequentially, so we don't always know the order they will air," with Newsweek adding on that his appearance was not cut from the show.[13] The casting was widely criticized.[14][15]
