Season synopsis

Season 5 of Suurmestari, featuring fixed contestants Eero Ritala, Pirjo Lonka, Pamela Tola, and Joonas Nordman (previously a guest contestant in season 2) began airing on March 16th 2024.

The studio recording sessions for the season took place between the 20th and 25th November 2023.

The guest contestants for the season are Arman Alizad, Ernest Lawson, Jenni Kokander & Mikko Penttilä (former season 1 guest contestant and season 3 fixed contestant), Olga Temonen, Johanna Puhakka, Sointu Borg, Elina Gustafsson, Niko Saarinen, Heikki Ranta, Ville Myllyrinne, Viivi Pumpanen, and Elias Salonen.

Since there were 12 studio recording sessions, and 13 guest contestants have been announced, it seems that there will be 12 episodes in the season (with the extra guest contestant perhaps being a studio stand-in).
