The second episode of Mask Singer 2024 is broadcast this Friday, May 10, on TF1. After two candidates were unmasked last week, the secret of three others hangs by a thread…
The essential
- Mask Singer made its comeback last week, with the launch of season 6 on TF1. This Friday, May 10, from 9:10 p.m., a second episode will relaunch the investigation among the jury, made up this year of Kev Adams, Chantal Ladesou, Inès Reg and Laurent Ruquier, but also among the fans.
- Last week in Mask Singer, two candidates were unmasked and therefore eliminated: Jacques Legros, former presenter of the 1 p.m. news on TF1, who was the Hamster and Chantal Goya, variety singer extremely well known to all generations, who hid behind a huge bag of Popcorn.
- Six Mask Singer 2024 costumes have already been revealed by production and their number should increase to a dozen this evening. Among them, we count the Leopard, the Dragonfly, the Lemur, the Pearl, the Scarecrow, the Pickle and even the Geishamourai. Surprise guests will be added throughout the broadcasts. But on our side and that of Internet users, the identity of three characters in this 2024 edition of Mask Singer is no longer in doubt.

6:05 p.m. – Mask Singer, episode 2 this Friday
Hello and welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to Mask Singer. We’re getting back into good Friday evening habits with the return of the big TF1 investigation, starting at 9:10 p.m. For this second episode, we are already almost certain of the identity of three characters here at Linternaute: the Hippopotamus, the Leopard and the Pearl. Follow our live stream to find out who is behind these three masked stars.
Mask Singer 2024 should see around twenty masked candidates in total this season. At the start of the season, the production revealed a list of twelve initial costumes, each one carrying mystery and originality:
- The Gherkin
- The Scarecrow
- The Hamster
- The leopard
- The Hippopotamus
- The Pearl
- The Dragonfly
- The hand
- The Robot Rabbit
- The wig
- The Lemur
- The Samurai Geisha
- Popcorn
For this new edition of Mask Singer, TF1 has announced stars with impressive pedigrees, some having received distinctions such as the Grammy Awards, the Brit Awards, or, in a completely different genre, the Legion of Honor. The production also promised participants who have sold more than 70 million records and hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. Here are the ones that were uncovered:
- Jacques Legros hid under the Hamster costume
- Chantal Goya hid under the Pop-Corn costume
In addition to the regular Mask Singer competitors, the 2024 season is enhanced by the presence of two international stars out of competition, each enjoying a separate evening. In addition, a new twist animates this Mask Singer sequence: a personality will try to infiltrate the game during the season to join the competition, creating an additional element of surprise and intrigue.
For weeks and even before the launch of Mask Singer, the predictions have been going well, skillfully maintained by careful communication, with clues scattered here and there on social networks, in hand-picked media and obviously in the bonuses. Who is behind the majestic costume of the Geisha Samurai or the amusing Hamster? Here are the clues that we were able to collect and the predictions of Internet users.
