Fast-Growing Unscripted Hit Based on Revered Toy Currently Taking U.K., Australia and Germany by Storm

U.S. Version to Air on FOX and be Produced by Endemol Shine North America, Tuesday's Child and Plan B Entertainment

FOX Entertainment has acquired the U.S. format rights for the hit British reality-competition series "LEGO(R) MASTERS," to air on FOX and be produced by Endemol Shine North America, Tuesday's Child and Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment, it was announced today by Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, for FOX Entertainment.

Already a success in the U.K., Australia and Germany, 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. Twelve teams of two will compete against each other in ambitious brick-building challenges to be crowned the country's most talented amateur LEGO builders. In each episode, the competing pairs who impress the judges the most will progress to the next round, until the finale, during which the three top teams will face off for the ultimate LEGO trophy and the grand title of LEGO MASTERS.

"LEGO MASTERS has everything you want in a reality-competition: an incredibly quirky and unique twist on a brand revered by billions of people, exciting team-based battles driven by creativity, and a premise that's ultra-family friendly," said Wade. "It's bold, fun and unlike anything else on television, and we're thrilled to bring LEGO MASTERS to American fans."
