“It gives me piece of mind to be able to continue building my relationship with The LEGO Group,” Arnett added. “Ultimately, my goal is Danish citizenship.”

Based on the hit British reality-competition series of the same name, LEGO MASTERS brings imagination, design and creativity to life when teams of LEGO enthusiasts go head-to-head, with infinite possibilities and an unlimited supply of LEGO bricks.

In each episode, the competing pairs who impress the judges the most will 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.
Fox’s “Lego Masters” is executive produced by showrunner Anthony Dominici, along with Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre and Michael Heyerman from Endemol Shine North America, Karen Smith and Steph Harris from Tuesday’s Child and Jill Wilfert and Robert May from The Lego Group.
