The trio of Buffalos made their debut during the show's premiere episode, "Who Can It Be Now?", airing on September 25. Here's a look at the synopsis of The Masked Singer season 12 so you can get a glimpse at what's coming up: 

"The Masked Singer is reaching new heights in season 12. Panelists Ken Jeong, Rita Ora, Robin Thicke and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg return as the series commemorates acclaimed franchises Barbie and Footloose, along with the iconic artist Miley Cyrus in a pop culture-piercing night that salutes her music catalog. New this season, clues are everywhere and hidden in all-new places: strategically embedded in costumes, in song choices and on-stage moments. And for the first time in the show's history, viewers will get the biggest clue yet as each of the 15 masked singers will be endorsed by a celebrity Masked Ambassador. These Ambassadors, all alums of the series, have a special connection to each singer and provide major new clues about their friends' identities. The episode will feature showstopping celebrity performances from five all-new masked celebrities and a jaw-dropping reveal no one saw coming!"

Who is Buffalo on The Masked Singer season 12? Clues

What will the show clues reveal about Buffalo's identity on The Masked Singer? Take a look: 

Soundtrack of My Life Night clues: 

Time Capsule Clue: Halftime show. "This halftime show t-shirt has aged over time like us, but we can tell you this performance was in front of one of the biggest audiences in the world."

Voiceover Clue: "Who would believe that we’d be here in the Group A finals and tonight, we are digging deep. That’s right, we chose ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ because we’ve learned that sometimes the hardest parts of life are when we’re forced to be the most harmonious. As we made it big, we had one cowboy who helped guide us and inspire us the most. He was our everything to us. He was a real MacGyver too. Always fixing stuff. But we lost him, suddenly. We felt heartbroken. How could God do this to us? We didn’t feel like we could go on. We sang as we put him to rest, thinking it would be our last time. But we knew he would have wanted us to keep the herd together. So that’s what we did. And while there’s a MacGyver shaped hole in our hearts, everything we do is for him. Including this performance. And hopefully he sees us make it to the quarterfinals. From wherever he’s watching tonight."

Footloose Night clues: 

Clue: Mo-Town "We’re a little tired right now because we are busy using this tractor to mow lawns all around the town."

Voiceover Clue: "You know how when someone tells you you can’t do something, you just want to do it more? Well, just like those kids in Footloose, longing to dance, we’re each rebels in our own way. We somehow found each other along the trail. Everyone told us we couldn’t just do our thing. But we didn’t listen. We’ve succeeded by no giving a darn over what people think. Think we’re corny? Who cares. We’re rich! And if you think we take ourselves too seriously, look at us. We’re out here dressed like some Wrestlemania buffaloes, about to sing a track from Footloose. We’re funny as hell! So do you and don’t let anyone tell you who or what you should be. On that note, here’s a love song to show you just how corny and rich we are!"

Who Can It Be Now Night Clues:

Masked Ambassador: Nick Lachey

Ambassador Voiceover: "I am so pumped to be part of an exclusive group of Masked Singer ambassadors here to endorse our friends. And my vote goes to the Buffalo. Raised in the poor grasslands, the Buffalo had it tough. Sleeping in roach-filled beds at night, and practicing at bus stops by day."

"Buffalo, you really are a national treasure. And always the center of attention at my epic Super Bowl parties. I have no doubt you’re going to stand out from the herd this season."

Buffalo Voiceover Clue: "That’s right Piglet, but thanks to a big cattle call, it was game on. From there, it was traveling the world. The walk of fame and starring in two of the biggest sitcoms of all time. Hit the jackpot and couldn’t have done it alone."

Gift Clue: Crown

The Masked Singer season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox and streams the following day on Hulu.
