‘Making It’ Returns December 2 on NBC

NBC’s “Making It,” from executive producers and hosts Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, returns beginning Monday, December  2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT and continues December 3-5 (10-11 p.m.), December 9 (10-11 p.m.) and Dec. 10 (10-11 p.m.) before concluding with a two-hour grand finale telecast on Wednesday, December 11 (9-11 p.m.).

The wow factor is raised in season two as the country’s most imaginative Makers from Miami to Portland take fans on a journey through everything from office makeovers to three-dimensional holiday creations. Working with mediums from food to felt, and no shortage of electricity, this season’s Makers vie to impress returning judges Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy trend expert and Simon Doonan, Creative Ambassador for Barneys New York.

On digital platforms, the show’s July 31 premiere was NBC’s strongest launch of an alternative series on record.

Each episode will revolve around a central theme with the Makers completing two crafts based on current trends in DIY and anchored in America’s love for all things handmade. The first, a “faster-craft,” gives the Makers a limited time to execute their personal take on each theme. Next is the more in-depth “master craft,” challenging each Maker to display their respective expertise while combining originality, imagination and quality finishing to move on to the next round of the competition. In the end, the winning contestant will be crowned “Master Maker.”
