The voice of LEGO Batman is taking on a new role as host of an unscripted competition series.

Will Arnett (Arrested Development) will host LEGO Masters, premiering on Wednesday, Feb. 5 on Fox. In the new series, LEGO builders will face off in challenges that will test their creativity and skill until one duo is crowned “LEGO Masters.” Arnett, who’s voiced LEGO Batman in three films across the LEGO Movie franchise, will also serve as an executive producer on the series, which is based on the British reality show of the same name.

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

Since its UK debut in 2017, LEGO Masters has been adapted in other countries, including Germany and Australia. Teams of two are given an unlimited supply of LEGO bricks as they compete to impress the judges in hopes of advancing to the next round. In the end, the duo with the crown receives a LEGO trophy and a cash prize.
