The hit fashion reality competition show will return with a new host and judges in the new year. The host and judge will be announced at a later time. Freeform’s Project Runway will premiere in 2025 and will be billed as Project Runway Season 21. An exact premiere date will be announced at a later time. The season will consist of 10 episodes. The show is produced Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz from Alfred Street Industries. Expand Hmm, not sure how I feel about this. Glad it will be back, yes, but on Freeform?

TakomaSnark October 21, 2024 Share October 21, 2024 (edited) On the bright side, it has Disney money behind it but let's see what the new prizes are. It had felt bloated with a lot of filler challenges for a while, so perhaps streamlining the competition down and eliminating a lot of obvious cannon fodder is a positive move.

tv echo March 16 Share March 16 (edited) Tim Gunn Reveals His Favorite — and Least Favorite — Seasons of Project Runway (Exclusive) Tim Gunn mentored designers on 'Project Runway' for 16 seasons By Jordan Greene March 15, 2025 https://people.com/tim-gunns-favorite-least-favorite-project-runway-seasons-exclusive-11683356 Quote "In many ways, season 1 will always be my favorite because it was the first. It's like your first child," the former Project Runway mentor, who worked on the show for 16 seasons alongside Heidi Klum, 51, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I'm not a parent, but I feel like one after 32 years of teaching. It's always special and nostalgic." * * * However, when it comes to the quality of work, Gunn, 71, reveals that nothing compares to season 13, which aired in 2023 and saw Sean Kelly — known for his eveningwear on the show — emerge as the winner. "There were so many extraordinarily talented designers," Gunn says. "It was always so difficult for the judges to choose a winner, and that's exactly what you want. You want that kind of high-level competition." He continues, "It still makes me tear up. It was so breathtaking. Breathtaking. And Heidi wore one of his gowns to the Emmys," Gunn adds, recalling Kelly's final project. Since then, Kelly made a swift pivot post-win to swimwear, founding his company, Hercules New York. * * * As for his least favorite season, Gunn is quick to answer: season 14. "I'm not a fan," he says of the season. "I thought the work was very lackluster, and I kept pounding on the workroom table, saying, 'You have to raise the bar here. This is just so dull, so normal. These are clothes you could go to a store right now and buy, so who cares?' I mean, as Heidi’s always telling the designers, you need to cut through the noise so people listen to you." Expand FYI: Season 14 winner was Ashley Nell Tipton.

30 Helens March 25 Share March 25 Clearly the producers didn’t look to this forum for advice in casting judges, because I just revisited the comments for the episode Law Roach guest-judged (S20 E13) and the reactions to him were… not good. At least they haven’t said Elaine’s coming back (yet). I’m glad Christian’s coming back to mentor, but I wish they had asked Tim Gunn to come back as judge. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4861-project-runway-in-the-media/page/16/#findComment-8616657
