Lego Masters (American TV Series)

''Lego Masters'' is an American reality competition television series that premiered on Fox on February 5, 2020. The series is based on the British series of the same name. Each episode features teams of two building Lego projects from a vast array of bricks and parts to meet both creative and practical goals set by the challenge for a particular episode. The show is hosted and executive produced by Will Arnett, who previously voiced the Lego minifigure version of superhero Batman in the ''Lego Movie'' franchise, with Lego Group creative designers Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard serving as the show's judges. Various guest stars have also served as hosts and judges.

As of May 2025, the series has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season, with the fifth season premiering that same month.

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 the host and two expert judges (referred to as 'Brickmasters') 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. The experts name the winning build and as well as the bottom two teams, explaining why teams were selected in this fashion. They then announce the losing team, who is eliminated from the competition. In addition to this judging, Amy and Jamie provide suggestions to the teams mid-way through the build.

Early in the season, the team with the best design as judged by the experts will be awarded the Golden Brick. They can then use it on any other challenge, after the build period but before the judging, to automatically advance to the next challenge if they do not feel confident about their work. Once they turn in the Golden Brick for immunity, it is then made available as the reward for a future challenge. The season will culminate in a finale, in which top teams compete for $100,000, a ''Lego Masters'' trophy, and the title of 'Lego Masters'.
