The second season of the American television series The Masked Singer premiered on Fox on September 25, 2019, following a "special sneak peek" aired on September 15,{{cite press release|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2019/06/24/fox-announces-fall-premiere-dates-for-the-2019-2020-season-407510/20190624fox01/|title=FOX Announces Fall Premiere Dates for the 2019-2020 Season|publisher=FOX|via=The Futon Critic|date=June 24, 2019|access-date=June 24, 2019}}{{cite web|title=Fox Sets Masked Singer Season 2 Sneak-Peek Special|url=https://www.thewrap.com/masked-singer-season-2-sneak-peek-special-fox-t-paifall-t/|website=The Wrap|date=August 28, 2019|access-date=August 29, 2019|archive-date=August 29, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829002711/https://www.thewrap.com/masked-singer-season-2-sneak-peek-special-fox-t-paifall-t/|url-status=live}} and concluded on December 18, 2019. The season was won by actor/comedian Wayne Brady as "Fox", with singer Chris Daughtry finishing second as "Rottweiler", and singer/talk show host Adrienne Bailon-Houghton placing third as "Flamingo".
Production
For the season, which featured 16 new costumes, Toybina says her goals were to increase the production quality, emphasize their backstories and increase their mobility.{{cite web|last=McHenry|first=Jackson|title=The Masked Singer
Movie and cultural influences were also present in the season; the hippie-like Eagle embodied Americana and was influenced by rock musicians Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Springsteen, while Skeleton was heavily inspired by the character Jack Skellington of Tim Burton's 1993 film The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Panda was imagined as a playful costume that would appeal to younger viewers of the show as the necklace was inspired by gumball machines and the clothing Harajuku-like. The Egg costume, which was requested by a contestant, was described as "somewhere between the runway and Lady Gaga." It incorporated egg features in four different ways: the costume's mask was a boiled egg, the hat was a fried egg, the intricacy of the breastplate (which was hand-beaded) represented a Fabergé egg, and the overcoat resembled a cracked eggshell. Toybina inserted the beads and stones into the Butterfly costume by hand, which she says transforms the costume's darkness and sex appeal into beauty onstage.
Increasing the mobility of the celebrities inside the costumes was also a focus of the season's designs, Toybina said. For safety purposes, she had to reduce the extravagance of Ladybug's face mask to make it tight to the face and instead accentuated the volume of the body of the costume. Alternatively, the mask is the main feature of the street-inspired Rottweiler costume to allow the celebrity to move freely onstage. One of the last costumes that was created for the season was Thingamajig, which Toybina says resembles a grandfather and an elf with its long bead and ears. Contrary to popular belief, Toybina insists the costume was not made to resemble asparagus, rather, it was born out of pure creativity.
Filming occurred from July 1 to August 9, 2019.{{cite web |url=https://on-camera-audiences.com/shows/The_Masked_Singer/tapings/20190701 |title=Show Dates |publisher=On Camera Audiences |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200421234245/https://on-camera-audiences.com/shows/The_Masked_Singer/tapings/20190701 |archive-date=April 21, 2020}} Toybina won a Costume Designers Guild Award in the Excellence in Variety, Reality-Competition, Live Television category in recognition of her work on the finale.{{cite web|last=Tangcay|first=Jazz|title=Hustlers, Jojo Rabbit and Queen & Slim Receive Costume Design Nominations|url=https://variety.com/2019/artisans/news/costume-designers-guild-awards-nominations-2020-1203430594/|website=Variety|access-date=April 3, 2020|date=December 10, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200205185900/https://variety.com/2019/artisans/news/costume-designers-guild-awards-nominations-2020-1203430594/|archive-date=February 5, 2020|url-status=live}}

The Season 2 winner, Wayne Brady, had been asked to be on the first season of the show, but turned it down at the time. He said he felt viewers would tune in "not because they want to see the talent, but because they want to see the train wreck." After he saw the success of the first season and getting approval from his daughter and ex-wife, he joined in for the second season.{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2019/tv/features/the-masked-singer-winner-interview-wayne-brady-the-fox-season-2-1203447936/|title=The Masked Singer Winner Interview: 'It's the First Time in My Life I Kept a Secret Months on End'|first=Elizabeth|last=Wagmeister|date=December 18, 2019|access-date=December 19, 2019|work=Variety|archive-date=January 10, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200110134353/https://variety.com/2019/tv/features/the-masked-singer-winner-interview-wayne-brady-the-fox-season-2-1203447936/|url-status=live}}
