ITV announces a new companion show for The Masked Singer and confirms its return for 2025 and 2026.

ITV has commissioned a new spinoff show to run alongside the next series of The Masked Singer.

Called The After Mask, the show is hosted by Kiss FM presenter Harriet Rose and will feature behind-the-scenes clips, the first interview with the unmasked celebrity and weekly chats with judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama.

The 30-minute episodes will be made available on ITVX and the show's official YouTube channel immediately after each episode of the main show airs on ITV1.

The broadcaster has also confirmed that in addition to the 2025 series, which has just been filmed, the show will be returning for another run - its seventh series - in 2026.

"The Masked Singer is one of the nation's best loved entertainment shows and we are delighted that viewers will get to enjoy a further two series," said Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's head of entertainment.

"We've seen some of music and TV's biggest names masquerading in giant colourful, crazy costumes and the next two series promise to be even bigger."

Speaking about After The Mask, Nick Johns, head of digital at production company Bandicoot, added: "With content optimised across social and digital, The After Mask is the perfect all-platform companion show to The Masked Singer, featuring fresh and funny content that everyone can enjoy.

"It's a new show – filmed on set and in studio – with a new star at the helm."

The new series of The Masked Singer is expected to air from late December or early January on ITV1.
