Mask Singer France Season 9 Premieres on TF1 With Bigger Cast and Bold New Twist

Producers promise a higher-profile cast with a mask-free Clown who changes face each week.

Overview

  • TF1 and TF1+ launch the new season with three opening shows that introduce 13 masked characters.
  • The returning on-air team features investigators Kev Adams, Michael Youn, Chantal Ladesou, and Laurent Ruquier under host Camille Combal.
  • Producer Hervé Hubert says the lineup includes an artist tied to the Super Bowl and a figure with more than 100 million Instagram followers.
  • A new Clown character performs without a physical mask, using elaborate makeup that changes weekly to throw off guesses.
  • Each costume takes at least 400 hours to build, with hidden mesh or perforated plastic for sight and optional fans or cooling vests for comfort.
