Saturday's episode set a new negative record. It only attracted an average of 1.23 million people to the screens.
Never before have fewer people tuned in to the three-hour live show on ProSieben. It achieved a market share of just 11.4 percent, which is the lowest value since the history of “The Masked Singer’s” history. The ratings for the start of the tenth season were better than those at the end of the ninth season, but the 1.46 million viewers were already a low. Around 1.8 million people still wanted to see the first show of season nine in autumn 2023. Is the former ratings high-flyer now on the verge of extinction? The show, which has been moderated by Matthias Opdenhövel since the beginning, is showing clear signs of wear and tear in its five years of existence. In 2019, the colorful guessing fun broke several records in terms of ratings. An average of 3.16 million people watched Stefanie Hertel (44) being unmasked as a panther in season one.
