Fox has set September premiere dates for Season 4 of “The Masked Singer” and the new Ken Jeong-hosted musical game show “I Can See Your Voice,” the network announced Wednesday.
“I Can See Your Voice” was not on the original fall schedule Fox released back in May, but the show was fast-tracked to debut next month, taking the Wednesday night timeslot previously designated of “MasterChef Junior.”
“The Masked Singer” will premiere first on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 8 p.m., following by “I Can See Your Voice” at 9 p.m. Fox will also air a “sneak peek” at the new season of “The Masked Singer” on Sunday, Sept. 13, following the first NFL double-header of the season.

The news was announced in a pair of new promos for the two shows, which included a teaser revealing the names of 14 of the characters who will compete on the new season of “The Masked Singer.” They are: Gremlin, Snow Owl, Crocodile, Giraffe, Broccoli, Popcorn, Seahorse, Jellyfish, Mushroom, Whatchamacallit, Squiggly Monster, Dragon, Baby Alien and Sun.
“Safely filming ‘I Can See Your Voice’ this summer was a win in itself, but when we saw the pure magic of the show and felt the palpable suspense in the room before that first note hit, we knew we had to share it with audiences this season,” Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment and specials, said in a statement. “It’s no secret that viewers need a little fun and escape now and, as a companion to an all-new season of ‘The Masked Singer,’ this will be a fantastic night of family entertainment – and a fantastic night of Ken Jeong!”
