How did weaving in theJurassic worldfranchise withLEGO MasterShows coming this season?
We had themwar of starsEpisode in Season 1. We had several connections in Season 2. In Season 3, Universal came to us because of the timing of the show's original air date [Editor's note: Season 3 was scheduled to premiere in May 2022] would coincide with the release ofJurassic World Dominion. They came to us and said, "What can you do?" Myself and showrunner Pip Wells said, "When we do integrations with a partner, they're total. We want the dinosaurs. We want Chris Pratt. We want to build specific scenes from the film. Let it be just a small part of the episode, but really embrace it and make it really unique and special. For our fans love themJurassic worldandJura Byk anyway, so that's just the icing on the cake.
How difficult was it to pull off Chris Pratt's crazy schedule of shooting and taping the episode?
It wasn't super easy. Chris was on a big tour to promote the film. But honestly, Chris and Will are very close, so they've written about it a lot while I've been emailing with the Universal folks. I think they were actually a step ahead of us when trying to make it happen. They both really wanted to do it and they're both really good friends. I think the people at Universal saw the value in that and that's why we just made it work. With any of these types of large-scale productions, it's always difficult to get your schedules together. But if it's important to both parties and you find a way.
The wraparounds with Chris and Will are great. Did you just let them both riff or did you script some stuff too?
It was a bit of both. Will is an EP on the show and Chris is obviously close friends with him, so we wanted to make sure we had good, solid, actionable ideas that got approved by the Universal folks when he walked in the door. We also knew they were friends and had done movies together, so we could count on us to pull off some impromptu that's going to be really fun. We wanted to make sure we had a few hours a day to make sure they could play with the cast and line up and do their thing. But then we definitely had certain tent poles that we needed to get.
Was the blue of the Velociraptor the same from theUniversal Studios theme parks?
Yes, it came from Universal Studios Florida. And they told us how big it was, and none of us really knew how big it was. [laughs.] When it showed up on set, we were like, 'Oh my God. That's huge!”

The dinosaur team is building this episode, incorporating real life special effects into its DNA. How did you figure this out to be safe but doable?
Fox are always big fans of blowing up builds or destroying builds.[laughs.] Our poor cerebral builders say, "Please don't blow up our stuff." But it isYes, reallygood tv. In Season 2 we did a little bit of special effects work, but not to the extent that we did with the Universal guys. I think we also brought a team from Florida to come along. We could afford XYZ stuff so we split it up with the gunpowder trails, the fireballs and the sparks. We wanted [the teams] to know what they had so they could build that into their themes so it kind of worked flawlessly. I think some builds really nailed it, others not so much. But that's always the exciting part.
Did you have security teams talking to each of the teams about their designs so they knew what was possible with the Pyro?
That's pretty much it. I mean, especially when we're working with a big brand, we want our builders to be successful. We want the Universal people or theywar of starsPeople walking away and going, 'Oh my god, that was great. We'll do it again anytime!” We really want our builders to deliver the best of what they can. Of course, there are a lot of security steps we go through. We definitely show them, before they get their fireball or gunpowder trail, we show them very well how it works. Where you ignite it, how far it can go, and all that different stuff before they even start building. They have a clear understanding of what they are working with before they even click the building blocks together.
Did either team get too ambitious?
Secure. But the worst thing would be if the Universal people said, "Well, that wasn't good."[laughs.]
Speaking of builds, let's talk about themJurassic ParkLEGO logo. who built this
We have a really, really brilliant consulting producer, Nathan Sawaya, who has been exhibited in huge modern art museums around the world. He makes all of our large scale props. I don't know how long it took him to do it, but it was absolutely stunning. And you know how brand partners are, so he had to get it absolutely right for everyone to unsubscribe. He's absolutely a brilliant, talented artist who does most of these things for us.
Did the magnitude of this episode inspire bigger things this season?
It's another notch in our belt of a huge IP that we brought on board and made a really, really funny and interesting and nuanced and comedic episode. I think in the future it will only show other IP partners, likeHarry Pottermaybe or whoever down the road that we can play in the sandbox. There is no brand or IP that is too big for us. I hope they trust us with that. Obviously LEGO has a great relationship with these IP partners so we want to do more of them. That's something a LEGO show can do really well.
Finally, did Universal ask to take one of the dino builds home?
I think there would have been more talks about that. But since those were destroyed, it would have been like, "Hey, do you want that thing we just blew up?" But I think they were really happy with the end result. We certainly were, and hopefully the show itself can perpetuate those builds.
LEGO Masters Season 3 will air Wednesday at 9pm ET/PT on FOX. Jurassic World Dominion is now streaming on Peacock.
