Chanteurs Masqués is a Canadian French language reality singing competition television series based on the South Korean television series King of Mask Singer. The series premiered on September 19, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. (EST/EDT) on TVA.[1] The show features celebrities singing popular songs while wearing head-to-toe costumes and face masks concealing their identities. It employs panelists who guess the celebrities' identities by interpreting clues provided to them throughout the series.[2]

Overview[]

Production[]

In February 2021, it was announced that Quebecor Media had acquired the rights to air and produce The Masked Singer format in Canada.[3] The series was confirmed to air on Quebecor’s production company Groupe TVA's network TVA in September 2021 after filming completed in August 2021.[4]

Host and panelists[]

Actor Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge was announced as the main host of the program,[5] while the announced panelists consist of comedian  [fr], singer Véronic DiCaire, singer Marc Dupré, actress Anouk Meunier, and comedian Stéphane Rousseau.[2]

Meunier won the Golden Ear as the panelist with the most correct guesses as to the identities of the performers throughout the season; however, Rousseau was the only panelist to correctly identify the final winners.[6]

Response[]

In its year-end review of Canadian film and television in 2021, the trade magazine Playback named Chanteurs masqués the Unscripted Series of the Year.[7]
