Paired in Teams of Two, 20 LEGO®-Obsessed Contestants Put Their Building Skills to the Test

Will Arnett Hosts All-New Brick-Building Competition Series

Let the brick-building begin! 20 men and women have been selected to showcase their expert LEGO® experience in the new competition series LEGO MASTERS, premiering Wednesday, Feb. 5 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Hosted by Will Arnett, the series will put these contestants – ranging from ages 23 to 65, and hailing from every part of the country and all walks of life – to the test. Teams of two will compete against each other in ambitious brick-building challenges until the top teams face off for a cash prize, the ultimate LEGO® trophy and the grand title of LEGO MASTERS. Throughout the competition, Arnett, alongside expert judges, will encourage the builders and introduce incredible challenges, as one contestant pair is sent home each week, until the final duo is crowned LEGO MASTERS.
