The Masked Druwverse Plus

Season 5 of the Druwverse edition of The Masked Singer premiered on January 1, 2025 and concluded on March 4, 2025. The winner of its third season was Melting Sunset, with Opera Queen being the Runner-up and Greenhouse being the third finalist. The season had a Plus at the end of the name to imply the increasing number of older contestants in the cast. This season is the most recent version of The Masked Druwverse, with a sixth season still yet to be announced. 
==Production==
Filming for the season took place immediately as Druwcapa decided to create a fifth season for it's show around March 2024, like usual, all characters would be created from zero, now with a larger focus on age diversity and adding more older contestants. The casting call started on October 23, 2024 and ended on December 25, 2024, at the start and end of the All-Stars edition. Twink Beaver, EyeCon and Lua de Cristal kept serving as the main panelists, with an extra chair reserved for the joint winners Añañuca and Joulupukki, who kept rotating throughout the season besides the first and last episode.
Instead of it being a celebrity show, The Masked Druwverse is it's own alternate reality, where the costumes are actual characters and they're in a singing competition, with props and mixing served by it's own production so they can deliver their best performances and reach the finale, where the winner would get The Masked Trophy and a pop music career out of the production's own cost.
The winner of The Masked Druwverse Plus also received a cash prize of $500.000, alongside a winner statue on the new Hall of Fame introduced at the start of The Masked Druwverse 2, where a gold statue of Twink Beaver, EyeCon, Lua de Cristal, Añañuca and Joulupukki were located.
