After “The Masked Singer” wraps up its “Lucky Season 13” on Wednesday night, Fox is giving the show a bit of a breather. The network is set to unveil a fall schedule on Monday that won’t include the hit singing competition for the first time in several years — saving Season 14 until January 2026.

The news will also be revealed on Wednesday night’s finale. Per a network statement, “Among Fox’s most enduring signature shows is The Masked Singer with a truly devoted fanbase. This juggernaut will return next year for Season 14 as it takes midseason by storm with a spectacular, super-charged new season.”

The network added that the decision to hold off on the new season until January “is a strategic move to give ample runway for America’s favorite guessing game. and allow us to creatively look at enhancing the show with the biggest names at the center of it.

Exclusive: The Masked Singer has been renewed after producing an incredible 13 seasons and more than 170 episodes since it launched on Fox in January 2019.

This included a number of seasons produced under strict Covid protocols with the music competition guessing game, which has aired one season at the start of the year and one in the fall, never missing a run throughout the pandemic.

However, Deadline understands that this is about to change with the show eschewing its traditional fall 2025 season and planning to return for Season 14 in January.

The news comes as the Season 13 finale is set to air tonight. This season has featured the likes of Cedric the Entertainer, Oscar De La Hoya, Aubrey O’Day, Scheana Shay, Flavor Flav, James Van Der Beek, Candace Cameron Bure, Method Man, Erika Jayne, Matthew Lawrence and Edwin McCain. Four celebrities have yet to be unmasked – those performing as Boogie Woogie, Coral, Mad Scientist Monster and Pearl.

The Masked Singer Season 13 finale airs Wednesday night, and Ken Jeong definitely knows who Boogie Woogie is. The ever-confident clue master is convinced that the orange disco monster is none other than four-time Grammy winner Ed Sheeran.

In an exclusive preview clip below, Ken lays out his theory about who is hiding behind the Boogie Woogie mask.

"I was thinking at the very beginning it could be somebody like Andy Samberg," says Ken's co-panelist Robin Thicke. "But, every vocal he put down and every performance you started to realize he's a professional performer. That's why I got into names like Ryan Tedder who, vocally, does match."

"There was a Statue of Liberty clue and that made me think Broadway," adds Rita Ora. "That brought me to Darren Criss and Glee."

Ken then puts everyone in their place and asserts, "I follow the person on social media. I'm thinking it could...

The tradition of frothy teen love triangles is about as old as the sun-kissed coming-of-age melodrama, of which Prime Video's "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is a key example. Based on the novel series by popular YA writer Jenny Han, the show revolves around the exploits of Isabel "Belly" Conkin (Lola Tung), who has spent every summer of her life in the upscale beach town of Cousins with her family and the Fishers, whose matriarch is her mother's best friend. The Fishers have two sons -- Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) -- and as Belly matures, the relationship between the three of them becomes a bit more ... hormonally driven. 

"The Summer I Turned Pretty," which has run for two seasons so far, quickly grew into prime guilty pleasure viewing, making the upcoming third and final season hotly anticipated by fans.

Joshua Jacksonhas become one of our biggest stars. His new show, Doctor Odyssey, is making waves, but he started his career on a beloved teen drama. Jackson became a fan favorite on Dawson's Creek as Pacey Witter, a sarcastic teenager who would rather make a joke than apply himself in school. He had a rough home life, was called a "loser" by his own parents, but still found love with Joey Potter (Katie Holmes). Throughout the years, fans have loved Joey and Pacey's relationship, and now Jackson is updating people on where the cast of Dawson's Creek all stand with each other.

Jackson, who dated Holmes in real life, shared in a new interview that the cast all came together recently for James Van Der Beek.But Jackson told the Dinner's on Me podcast, hosted by Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, that even if the cast doesn't always call each other,...

Joshua Jackson endured an exhausting and surreal audition process to play Pacey Witter on the 2000s WB series Dawson’s Creek, judging by what he shared with Jesse Tyler Ferguson. In the April 21 episode of Ferguson’s Dinner on Me podcast, Jackson recalled auditioning for Pacey — and for Dawson Leery, the role that went to James Van Der Beek. “I think I had, like, nine auditions for, I think, first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey,” Jackson said. “And then when I made it to the final, final, final thing, they take you to the Warner Bros. Ranch. I don’t even know if this place exists anymore. The WB had this, like, Quonset hut, basically on the side. When you walk in, there’s a giant gong and a woman at the desk whose job it is to say ‘Wwwb?’ every time she answers the phone. I s*** you not.

Joshua Jackson didn't have a great experience when auditioning for Dawson's Creek. In fact, he's compared it to The Hunger Games - the franchise where teenagers have to fight to the death in an arena.

While talking to Jesse Tyler Ferguson (who himself auditioned for the role of Dawson) on his Dinner's On Me podcast, Jackson remembered what a draining experience it all was. "I think I had like nine auditions for - I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey," he said, via Entertainment Weekly. "And then when I made it to the final, final, final thing, they take you to the Warner Bros. ranch."

"In that room are 35 potential kids who are now, like, put into this Hunger Games moment," Jackson said. Luckily, there were no weapons present - just a lot of actors who were dying for their big break. "And you spend...

Joshua Jackson compared his audition process for Dawson’s Creek to a real-life version of The Hunger Games, reflecting on the intense competition he faced before landing the role of Pacey Witter. Speaking on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s on Me podcast, Jackson detailed the experience of auditioning for both Pacey and the title role of Dawson Leery.

“I think I had like nine auditions — I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey,” Jackson said. “And then when I made it to the final, final, final thing, they take you to the Warner Bros. ranch.”

He described arriving at the studio to find about 35 other young actors gathered for the final stages of casting. “In that room are 35 potential kids who are now, like, put into this Hunger Games moment,” Jackson said. He recalled groups being called into rooms in twos and fours, auditioning, and then...

Joshua Jackson recalls the audition process for Dawson’s Creek, likening it to The Hunger Games.

The Doctor Odyssey star was ultimately cast as Pacey Witter, Dawson’s wisecracking best friend, but Jackson said he also auditioned for the titled character in The WB drama.

“I think I had like nine auditions for — I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey,” Jackson said on the Dinner’s on Me podcast. “And then when I made it to the final, final, final thing, they take you to the Warner Bros. ranch.”

He continued, “In that room are 35 potential kids who are now, like, put into this Hunger Games moment. And you spend literally the entire day getting called in groups, right, like, ‘Okay, you two. You four.’ Getting taken back to the room, you audition, and then you come out, and…four people are just gone. And then two people are gone.

Joshua Jackson is sharing some very rare comments about his ex-girlfriend Katie Holmes.

If you didn’t know, the Dawson’s Creek co-stars, now both 46, dated during the early days of the show from 1998 until 1999 and continued working together until the show ended in 2003.

In a new interview, Joshua shared an update on where he currently stands with Katie and the other Dawson’s Creek stars.

Keep reading to find out more… “Busy [Philipps] and Michelle [Williams] are very, very close. And Katie and I are very close,” Joshua shared on the April 22 episode Jesse Tyler Ferguson‘s podcast, Dinner’s on Me.

The topic came up as Joshua discussed how the cast rallied together to support James Van Der Beek after he revealed he was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer.

He also noted that while he and his castmates don’t always keep in touch on the regular, their connection is strong.

“It’s not a daily call.

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 11 of “The Masked Singer,” “Soundtrack of My Life Night,” which aired April 23 on Fox.

Well, I’ll be. Edwin McCain, the singer/songwriter behind the 1990s hit song “I’ll Be,” was the latest celebrity to be revealed on Season 13 of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” On the show’s Wednesday episode, McCain was unmasked as Nessy after performing “Million Reasons,” by Lady Gaga.

“Honestly, I’ve done so many different things in my career, like we’ve landed on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Korea and played for the sailors on board,” he told Variety of why he did the show. “We’ve been to Djibouti, Africa and Bahrain, and we’ve played every state in the US, except for Alaska. If life be an adventure, this certainly falls in that category. I was like, of course, I’ll do that.

Joshua Jacksonhas been a heartthrob on our television screens for decades. His most recent role in Doctor Odysseyreminds fans of what they love about him, but it was the 1998 show Dawson's Creekthat allowed fans to fall in love. Jackson played Pacey Witter in the series, which ran for 6 seasons, but it almost didn't work out for the series star. On a recent episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast titled Dinner’s on Me, Jackson shared that he had to go through multiple auditions before Pacey was officially his role.

“I think I had, like, nine auditions,” he said, telling Ferguson that he went back and forth between auditioning for Pacey and then Dawson and then back again before ending up with a final audition. “They take you to the Warner Brothers Ranch. I don't even know if this place exists anymore,” he said. “And the WB had this Quonset...

The friendships made on the set of the late 1990's teen drama Dawson's Creekhave stood the test of time. Joshua Jackson, who played Pacey Witter on the show, recently opened up about how the cast of the hit series is standing behind James Van Der Beek in the wake of his cancer diagnosis.

In November 2024, Van Der Beek, who played Dawson Leery, revealed that he had been living with colorectal cancer. Jackson, who played Dawson's best friend,said he and his co-stars rallied behind Van Der Beek following his diagnosis. "James is going through something really truly terrible right now," the actor said during an appearnace on theJesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner’s on Me podcast. "And I wish I could take credit for this, but I was kind of the absentee partner here, but the girls all got together and were like, 'We need to do something to help this guy out.

Late last year, James Van Der Beek announced he had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. And while fans have thrown their support behind him, it’s not surprising that his fellow Dawson’s Creek co-stars have stepped up amid his fight.

Joshua Jackson — who played Pacey Witter, best friend and sometimes bitter enemy to James Van Der Beek’s Dawson Leery — recently said that he and Katie Holmes (Joey Potter), Michelle Williams (Jen Lindley) and Busy Phillips have made it customary to keep in touch, especially in times like this. “James is going through something really truly terrible right now. And I wish I could take credit for this, but I was kind of the absentee partner here, but the girls all got together and were like, ‘We need to do something to help this guy out.’ Whether we talk to each other all the time, Busy and Michelle are very,...

Joshua Jackson has opened up about the competitive casting process behind Dawson’s Creek and how the show’s cast has reconnected around James Van Der Beek following his recent cancer diagnosis. Speaking on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s on Me podcast, Jackson shared detailed memories of his early career and the dynamics among the show’s core actors more than 20 years after it first aired.

Jackson described the audition process for Dawson’s Creek as unusually intense, involving multiple rounds and large groups of actors. “I think I had, like, nine auditions,” he said. “I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey.” He eventually landed the role of Pacey Witter. James Van Der Beek was cast as Dawson Leery.

The final audition took place at the Warner Brothers Ranch, which Jackson recalled as a surreal setting. “There’s a giant gong and a woman at the...

Joshua Jackson’s audition for Dawson’s Creek was a competition, to say the least.

During a recent appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s on Me podcast, the Doctor Odyssey actor recalled auditioning for the hit drama series, comparing it to The Hunger Games.

“I think I had, like, nine auditions,” he said. “I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey,” before ultimately landing the role of teen heartthrob Pacey Witter. James Van Der Beek ended up playing Dawson.

However, it was the final audition when Jackson said things got a bit odd. “They take you to the Warner Brothers Ranch. I don’t even know if this place exists anymore,” Jackson recalled. “And the WB had this Quonset hut basically off on the side. And when you walk in, there’s a giant gong and a woman at the desk whose job it is to say,...

The Masked Singer's resident lab expert, Rita Ora, believes she has cracked the formula for unmasking the Mad Scientist Monster's identity.

Imagine Christian Bale as the tormented Jedi who falls to the dark side, or Leonardo DiCaprio donning the robes of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars. According to an old rumor from the early 2000s, both Oscar-winning actors were seriously considered to play young Jedi who would eventually become Darth Vader.

In the early 2000s, the galaxy far, far away nearly had a different Chosen One. Long before Hayden Christensen became the face of Anakin Skywalker, the Batman star Christian Bale was widely rumored to be George Lucas’ top pick for the iconic role in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

The great thing about The Masked Singer is that you never know who will be on the show, and Season 13 included a '90s heartthrob. Earlier this week, the identity of Paparazzo was revealed after the judges asked a key question: had he been on a hit TV show before?

Out of the four judges, only Jenny McCarthy correctly identified Paparazzo as Matthew Lawrence. However, he had given some great clues on the night about his identity, including honoring his longtime girlfriend, TLC's Rozonda Thomas, better known as Chilli, with the song "Unpretty."

“Man, if you had told me that this little guy would still be standing here, I’d say you’re crazy. Because I’ve never sang before,” Lawrence said as Paparazzo in his pre-tape package. “And — big spoiler alert — the next song is the biggest hint to my identity yet. So listen closely.”

That’s referring to Lawrence’s relationship with TLC member Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

The merge is here! The Masked Singer Season 13's Lucky Six has arrived, and the talent is unstoppable. The two finalists from each group are coming together in the last stretch in hopes of hoisting the Golden Mask on finale night. Will it be Coral or Paparrazo from Group A? Could it be Boogie Woogie or Pearl from Group B? Or is it going to be Mad Scientist or Nessy from Group C? But most importantly, who is that?! As we continue to sleuth our way through the clues, there's one panelist who is 100% convinced they know the identity of Coral. Is Ken Jeong right, or is it just another wild guess?

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 9 of “The Masked Singer,” “Decades Night,” which aired April 9 on Fox.

“The Masked Singer” is a very different kind of reality show from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” But for Erika Jayne — unmasked as Yorkie on Wednesday night’s edition of Fox’s reality singing competition — it took “zero convincing” to join.

“Why wouldn’t I?” she told Variety. “Did you see my costume? It was absolutely adorable. ‘The Masked Singer’ is a top-notch production. It was probably one of the best times I’ve ever had performing and doing a show like this. Why not take this great opportunity?”

For Yorkie, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg got it right with Erika Jayne. Robin Thicke guessed Lori Loughlin. Rita Ora named Paris Hilton. Ken Jeong went with Kyle Richards.

Jayne said performing in the costume was the most challenging part, as “the mask was quite heavy,...

The Masked Singer's crafty clue master, Ken Jeong, is at it again. This week, he's tailing Nessy during the "Decades Night" episode of the Fox reality singing competition. Ken calls out Grammy-winning rocker Patrick Monahan of Train as the long-necked crooner when Group C hits the stage for a mixed bag of classic hits on Wednesday.

In an exclusive preview clip below, Ken lays out his theory about who is hiding behind the Nessy mask.

See 'The Masked Singer' spoilers: Who is Nessy?

"I think this could be Pat Monahan of Train because he is really good friends with Kevin Cronin of Reo Speedwagon," Ken tells his co-panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Rita Ora. "They have performed together on stage. So many people have said 'I do' during their songs. Because of the Reo Speedwagon connection, this still could be Pat Monahan of Train."

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 13, Episode 8 of “The Masked Singer,” “Boy Band Night,” which aired April 2 on Fox.

Wu-Tang is for the children, and “Masked Singer” welcomes audiences young and old as well. On Wednesday’s “Boy Band”-themed episode of the hit Fox competition, Method Man was the next celebrity to be unmasked, as he was revealed to be the voice under the “Stud Muffin” costume.

“I may not be in a boy band, but I know what it’s like to be a part of a brotherhood,” Method Man said in his pre-taped package as Stud Muffin, referring to Wu Tang Clan. “We grew up together, blew up together. There was no limit to what we could do. But when you’ve got a good thing going, people try to poison it. But at the end of the day, nothing can come between me and my team.

Self-proclaimed hip-hop expert and The Masked Singer clue master Ken Jeong is picking up what Stud Muffin is putting down on tonight's "Boy Band" episode of the Fox reality singing competition. He's calling out Grammy-winning rapper 2 Chainz as the handsome carb when Group C hits the stage for a heartthrob-filled evening of classic hits on Wednesday.

With its macabre one-liners, revolving door of guest stars, and endless imagined homicides, "CSI" is one of the most recognizable network TV franchises of all time. Yet, despite well over a decade of success and extensive rerun appeal, the Anthony Zuiker-created property actually went off the air for a five year period. In 2016, the last "CSI" show that was still going, "CSI: Cyber," bowed out after just two seasons, and the TV world of the crime saga that began at the turn of the millennium went temporarily dark.

Like so many procedurals before it, "CSI" did eventually come back, offering up the Paula Newsome and Matt Lauria-led "CSI: Vegas" in 2021. That series returned to the show's trend of focusing on a different city (past hits have included "CSI: New York" and the infamously punny "CSI: Miami"), but it wasn't enough to save it. "Vegas" was canceled in 2024 after three seasons,...

Joshua Jackson addressed one of Dawson's Creek's divisive storylines, siding with fans who called out Pacey Witter's latter arc. He wants to retcon "stockbroker Pacey", which doesn't make sense to him looking back.

Looking back on his run in Dawson's Creek, Joshua Jackson revealed one arc his character could do without. "I don't think Pacey ever needed to be a stockbroker," he told People. "I don't really think we needed to go there." Jackson was referring to Pacey Witter's Season 6 storyline, where Audrey's father set him up for a stockbroker job in Boston. Audrey eventually broke up with Pacey because she disapproved of his new lifestyle. Fans were surprised by the turn, which also had Pacey sporting a goatee and new haircut. Jackson regretted doing that. "I don't think we needed a goatee. Maybe that's it: it's goatee Pacey," he quipped. "It doesn't work for me."

Dawson's Creekstar Busy Philipps opens up about a potential reunion in support of James Van Der Beek.

Speaking to US Weekly, Philipps discussed the Dawson's Creek reunion she is in the midst of organizing with co-stars Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams. "We're really trying to figure something out, but there are a couple of people who have some work things that cannot be moved," Philipps said. "It's like playing chess, trying to get everybody's schedules to align. I'm very hopeful that at some point we will. Everybody is, and I’m so glad to see and hear from James — and I know he posted on Instagram that he’s feeling well — and we just have all been really sending him every ounce of good wishes and prayers and hoping for the best."

We were hooked, we were obsessed, and we just knew we’d be watching those familiar faces for years. But like all good things, Dawson’s Creek didn’t last forever. After six seasons, the show wrapped up in 2003, leaving fans asking, “Why, oh why, did you have to pull the plug so soon?”

James Van Der Beek is opening up about the emotional and physical ravages of his cancer battle, saying he had an epiphany after coming “nose to nose” with death.
