When does 'Lego Masters' Season 3 release
Lego Masters was originally slated to premiere on May 31, 2022, but has been pushed by the network to later in the season. On that note, 'Lego Masters' is getting its own celeb spinoff, 'Celebrity Lego Masters: Holiday Bricktacular' which will be a “multiple-night event” on Fox.
What is 'Lego Masters' all about
The official synopsis reads, "Teams of LEGO enthusiasts go head-to-head with infinite possibilities and an unlimited supply of LEGO bricks. Teams of two compete against each other in ambitious brick-building challenges -- including a NASA-themed episode, an incredible treehouse challenge, a LEGO dog show, and more. Host Will Arnett, alongside expert Brickmasters and LEGO employees Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard, encourages the builders, introduces incredible challenges, and puts their creativity and skills to the test. The competing pairs who impress the judges the most progress to the next round, until the finale, during which the top teams face off for a $100,000 cash prize, the ultimate LEGO trophy, and the grand title of LEGO Masters”.
Host
Canadian actor and comedian, Will Arnett hosts the show. He is best known for his role in 'Arrested Development' which saw him win the Primetime Emmy Award for 'Outstanding Supporting Actor in comedy' series. His work in the series ‘30 Rock’ also earned him four Primetime Emmy Awards nominations for Outstanding Guest Actor in a comedy series. Will Arnett’s bio on Fox describes him as an actor and producer that has been part of the LEGO family from the very beginning.
Judges
Jamie Berard is one of the judges and had been a finalist to become the next model builder for LEGOLAND in California and was also the technical judge for the FIRST LEGO League’s World Finals in Atlanta, GA. After judging the finals back in 2004, it has been a cakewalk for him as he then got hired to work for the LEGO company in 2005, after displaying functional amusement park rides at a LEGO fan event in Washington, D.C.
Amy Corbett serves as the other judge of the hit show. She is the senior design manager at LEGO company where she is responsible for the development of new products.
