After the mammoth success of The Masked Singer, there was a lot of talk about how there will potentially be a spin-off of the show but in the art of dancing. That has now been confirmed as The Masked Dancer is officially a Go at Fox.

As known, the popular format is a segment from The Ellen Show and with The Masked Singer's success, the Masked Dancers will also be arriving now.

Ellen DeGeneres will exec produce the all-new format, inspired by Fox's breakout hit reality singing series. The series, which lacks an episode count and premiere date, is a co-production of Fox's recently launched Fox Alternative Entertainment banner and Warner Bros. Unscripted & Alternative Television, with DeGeneres housed at the latter company.

"We’re still blown away by The Masked Singer's massive impact on pop culture, but when Ellen debuted her own inventive segment, The Masked Dancer, on her show, we were truly amazed,” said Rob Wade, president of Alternative Entertainment and Specials at Fox Entertainment. “We are thrilled to partner with Ellen on this new format and take The Masked Dancer to a whole new creative level.”

Like DeGeneres' segment, the all-new format will see celebrity contestants perform unique dances in elaborate costumes and masks. Craig Plestis, who found the original format and brought it to the U.S. for Fox, will also be involved in the dancing spinoff.

"This is gonna be just as fun and suspenseful as The Masked Singer, but with a lot more Krumping,” DeGeneres said. “And I cannot wait!”
