The Fox network has announced that the American television singing competition "The Masked Singer" has been renewed for a second season.

There's no word yet on whether the judges from the first season – Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, and Nicole Scherzinger – or host Nick Cannon will be returning.

"The Masked Singer" had the largest debut audience for a reality television series in seven years, with 9.4-million viewers. Based on a hit show from South Korea "The King of Mask Singer", it has grown into an international franchise.

China's domestic version of the show premiered on Jiangsu TV in 2015.
