The upcoming Wednesday, May 5 episode of “The Masked Singer” will welcome a new face at the judging panel: Chrissy Metz. The “This Is Us” star officially makes her first appearance as a guest judge alongside regular celebrity sleuths Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger. She’ll watch performances from the Spicy Six, aka Robopine, Russian Dolls, Yeti, Black Swan, Chameleon and Piglet, and then the lowest vote-getter will be eliminated from the competition and forced to unmask in front of America.
While Metz is mostly known for her acting abilities, she is also a singer and is the lead vocalist in her band Chrissy and the Vapors. At the 2020 Oscar ceremony, Metz stepped onto the biggest stage in the world and sang “I’m Standing With You” from the movie “Breakthrough” in which she starred. Though Metz’s performance was universally praised, this Diane Warren-penned song lost the trophy later that night to “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” (“Rocketman”).

FOX Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and multi-hyphenate Elizabeth Banks have joined forces to develop BEDROCK, a primetime animated adult comedy series continuing the story of everyone's favorite modern Stone Age family, the Flintstones. The pilot script will be written by Lindsay Kerns ("Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous," "DC Super Hero Girls," "Trolls: The Beat Goes On!"), with Banks voicing the character of "Pebbles Flintstone," in addition to her role as a producer.
BEDROCK catches up with the Flintstone family two decades after the original, with Fred on the brink of retirement and 20-something Pebbles embarking on her own career. As the Stone Age gives way to a shiny and enlightened new Bronze Age, the residents of Bedrock will find this evolution harder than a swing from Bamm-Bamm's club.
"Long before the Simpsons and Springfield, the Griffins and Quahog or even when the Belchers started serving burgers on Ocean Avenue, there were the Flintstones and Bedrock," said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, FOX Entertainment. "Their imprint on the animation universe is undeniable and the idea of adapting it for today's audience is a challenge we here at FOX are very much looking forward to taking on with Warner Bros., Elizabeth and Lindsay. No pressure whatsoever, really."
"The Flintstones are the first family of primetime animation," said Peter Girardi, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming at Warner Bros. Animation. "Elizabeth and Lindsay have a brilliant take on these characters, and FOX and Brownstone are the perfect partners to bring them back to primetime. This is going to rock (sorry)."
In addition, FOX Entertainment's free streaming platform Tubi has acquired the AVOD rights to all six seasons of the iconic series "The Flintstones," including all 166 episodes, which will begin streaming on Tubi on May 1.
Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, "The Flintstones" was television's first primetime animated series -- airing for six seasons, spanning 166 episodes - and was also the first animated program nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. This past fall, the franchise celebrated its 60th anniversary.
If picked up to series, BEDROCK will be co-produced by Warner Bros. Animation and FOX Entertainment. Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman will executive-produce through Brownstone Productions ("Pitch Perfect" franchise, "Charlie's Angels," "Shrill"). Brownstone's Dannah Shinder, and Lindsay Kerns ("Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous," "DC Super Hero Girls," "Trolls: The Beat Goes On!") will serve as co-executive producers.
