After serving up some serious craft mania last year, 'Making It' is all set to return with its second season next month. Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman will once again put on display their passion for crafts as a new batch of crafting champs fight it out to take home the $100,000 prize. Read on to know more about 'Making It' season 2.

Release Date

'Making It' season 2 airs on December 2 at 10 pm ET/PT on NBC.

Plot

From Woodworkers to balloon artists, calligraphists, and fine artists, the new installment will see 10 crafters put on their best foot forward, create masterpieces with limited time and supply. To be judged by Dayna Isom Johnson and Simon Doonan, each episode will focus on stiff challenges ranging from office makeovers to 3D holiday creations using unconventional mediums such as food and felt. Excited much?

She may have sent out a kid-in-candy-land vibe in the maiden season, but this time Poehler is thrilled and ready to be back in the barn with his friend, Offerman. Besides being a star comedian, Poehler is also a top-notch producer (executive) and has a string shows to her credit, namely, 'Difficult People', 'I Feel Bad', 'Russian Doll', and 'Broad City' among others.   

Nick Offerman

Offerman is a master woodworker himself, which makes it all the more exciting because he brings an interesting mix of humor and knowledge to the show. His passion for the craft made him establish a full-fledged furniture company — Offerman Woodshop — that's all things handmade.
