Banijay company Screentime New Zealand will produce a local version of Lego Masters for TVNZ.
The competition reality hit has now been picked up by 14 broadcasters globally, with New Zealand joining recently confirmed adaptations for Spain and Norway.
More than 2.5 million bricks are now making their way to Aotearoa, for the new set. Lego Masters sees pairs undertake numerous challenges which test their creativity and building expertise. Lego Certified Professional (LCP) Robin Sather will be the judge and oversee the contestants throughout, offering advice as the stages get increasingly harder, pairs are eliminated and the pressure mounts.
Philly de Lacey, CEO of Screentime New Zealand said: “Following the success of Lego Masters in Australia, the US and Europe, we’re so excited for Lego fans in New Zealand to finally have the opportunity to compete in this incredible series. We can’t wait to see what amazing designs Kiwis will bring to the Lego table.”
