Host-executive producer Will Arnett (The LEGO Movie, BoJack Horseman) will be running our 20 contestants through several celebrity-starring theme weeks – including a special appearance by BB-8, C-3PO, and R2-D2 in a Star Wars-fueled outing.
So now seems as good a time as any for Arnett and LEGO Brick Masters Jamie Berard and Amy Corbett to break down everything viewers will need to know about FOX's new reality competition series:

Originally created by Tuesday's Child, LEGO Masters first launched on the U.K.'s Channel 4 in 2017, when it quickly became the network's highest-rated new series, nearly doubling its primetime average with young adults.
Since then, LEGO Masters has been renewed by Channel 4 and local versions of the successful format have begun launching around the world. Most recently, Endemol Shine Australia produced a local version for Nine, which became an instant hit, averaging more than 2.0 million viewers, and ranked as the country's #1 program among all key demos. Additionally, Endemol Shine Germany successfully produced the series for RTL.
