Craftopia is an American reality television series that premiered on HBO Max on May 27, 2020.[1] In October 2020, the series was renewed for a second season.[2] In August 2022, the series was cancelled.[3]
Craftopia is a youth-oriented crafting competition, with the contestants' ages ranging from 9 to 15. Contestants are given challenges to create different items within a time period. Before each challenge, the contestants race to fill their carts up with materials from the "store", and then work to craft different creations based on the given instructions. The goal is to build what the judges consider the best creation overall in order to bring home the "Craftrophia and $5,000".
