Will Arnett will return as host and executive producer. Brickmasters Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard also return as judges.
Based on the British series of the same name, the reality competition follows teams of two as they compete against each other in ambitious brick-building challenges to be crowned the country’s most talented amateur Lego builders. In each episode, the competing pairs who impress the judges the most progress to the next round, until the finale, during which the top teams will face off for a cash prize, the ultimate Lego trophy, and the grand title of Lego Masters. Season 5 will feature a new batch of builders from across the country challenged with creating the most inventive designs to date.
