Lego Masters is an American reality competition television series based on the British series of the same name in which teams compete to build the best Lego project. It is hosted and executive produced by Will Arnett.[1] The series premiered on February 5, 2020 on Fox.[2]

Format

The series follows teams consisting of two Lego-building competitors, tasked with building creations out of Lego pieces based on a given theme within a given time period. After the allotted time to build, the teams demonstrate their creations to host Will Arnet and two expert judges from the Lego Group: Amy Corbett, a senior design manager at Lego, and Jamie Berard, who oversees the Lego Creator Expert and Lego Architecture lines at Lego.[3] The experts determine the best team, who win the Golden Brick, a token that gives them immunity in a future challenge. The experts also name the bottom two teams and then names the losing team, who, save for the first week, is eliminated from the competition. In addition to this judging, Amy and Jamie provide suggestions to the teams mid-way through the build.[4] The season will culminate in a finale, in which top teams compete for a $100,000, a Lego Masters trophy, and the title of Lego Master.[1][5]
