The show features craftspeople skilled in different media competing to be named the "Master Maker" and win $100,000. Each week, competitors make two handmade projects—a "Faster Craft" and a "Master Craft." The winner of each challenge earns a patch. For the Faster Craft, makers have three hours to create an item. For the Master Craft, they have a longer time to create a more elaborate themed collection. At the end of every episode, one person is sent home based on their performance in the Master Craft.[3]
On August 21, 2018, NBC renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on December 2, 2019 for the holidays and aired over two weeks.[4]
On January 11, 2020, NBC renewed the series for a third season.[5]

gollark: Still pretty good though.
