LEGO® Masters Australia returns with international showdown

LEGO® Masters Australia will return to Channel 9 and 9Now on Sunday, 1 June at 7pm with its seventh season, Grandmasters of the Galaxy.

This series will see an international clash of top LEGO® creators as four Australian teams take on competitors from six countries across a series of advanced building challenges.

The upcoming season brings together twenty experienced LEGO® builders from Australia, Canada, China, Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United States. Each of the ten teams of two comprises former finalists, champions or standout talents from their respective national series. The season will culminate in one team being awarded the title of Grandmasters of the Galaxy and $100,000 in prize money.

Returning to host is Hamish Blake, with Ryan “Brickman” McNaught reprising his role as judge. Blake’s comedic hosting and McNaught’s technical expertise have been a hallmark of the show since its inception. Sophie Monk will also make guest appearances in four episodes.

Participants will face a mix of storytelling, technical, and thematic challenges, including builds inspired by Harry Potter, flying LEGO® structures, and fantastical worlds. Highlights include appearances from past champions: Henry and Cade from Season 1, and Owen, who won Season 5, now paired with Gabby, a two-time top-four finalist.

The international lineup features winners from the USA, Finland and Sweden, as well as runners-up from China and New Zealand. Each team brings distinct creative and engineering strengths, from stop-motion animation to architectural precision.

Produced by Endemol Shine Australia for the 9Network, the series is based on the original UK format by Tuesday’s Child Productions and The LEGO® Group.
