Season four of Lego Masters is set to return soon to Channel Nine and 9Now. The entertainment show is back with an array of new competition twists, mind-bending new challenges, a new “Power Brick”, and a brand-new shiny set.
Hamish Blake returns as host, alongside judge Ryan “Brickman” McNaught, one of only 14 certified Lego professionals in the world.
Joining them will be 16 of the country’s best Lego builders competing for the title of Australia’s next Lego Master and the prize of $100,000.
In a season that promises more amazement than ever, the challenges will excite and surprise. From The Car of the Future to The Stuntman – which will see contestants building a model that can fly through a hoop of fire – this year’s competition is rising to new heights.
Who can navigate a high wire, and who will come crashing down? The outdoor challenge, High Wire, will push contestants to their technical limits by attempting to build and propel a model across a razor-thin high wire stretched six metres above the ground.
And the biggest challenge hit from Season 1, The Bridge, returns with an amazing twist.
Plus, viewers have seen the “Golden Brick” and the “Platinum Brick.” This season Nine is stepping it up with the most powerful brick of all: the game-changing “Power Brick”.
Last year, the Lego Masters finale had 1.03m tune in for the winner announcement and 932,000 for the grand finale. The show was the top non-news program and was #1 in all key demos.
David and Gus were named the winners of the third season of the show with the pair taking home $100,000 along with the Lego Masters trophy.
The final three teams had 28 hours to build whatever they wanted, with no limitations and no directives.
Not only did they need to impress Ryan McNaught, the expert “Brickman”, but also 250 members of the public who voted for their favourite build. McNaught was brought to tears due to the builds, saying “Lego is humble…it’s beautiful”.
David and Gus decided on a diorama. Their story, set in a forest, had two deer being preyed upon by a pack of wolves.
Lego Masters is produced by Endemol Shine Australia. The series is adapted from an original UK format devised by Tuesday’s Child Productions and The Lego Group.
