Gary Barber, chairman and CEO of Spyglass, said, “For 20 seasons, Project Runway has captured viewers’ attention and cultivated a loyal following.

As Lipsitz added, “The challenge to stay relevant while the world is changing at lightning speed makes us eager to not only honor our die-hard Project Runway fans but also to introduce fresh and innovative ideas.”

Where can I watch Project Runway?

The Freeform Original Series will air weekly on the network and will be available to stream shortly after on Disney+ and Hulu.

Will any original Project Runway stars be back for the Freeform reboot?

The series previously aired on Bravo and was hosted by Heidi Klum originally. Its later All-Stars iteration had Christian Siriano, who got his start on the competition show, as host. Tim Gunn was an original fixture of the show but didn’t return for the reboot on Bravo. Nina Garcia was a judge for both versions. Brandon Maxwell and Elaine Welteroth also judged. Karlie Kloss executive produced and made onscreen appearances.

As of the time of publication, none of the original cast members are involved in Freeform’s version. But it’s possible familiar faces could be part of later announcements.

The long-standing series has had a profound effect on the fashion industry, launching the careers of prolific designers, including Siriano, Austin Scarlett, Leanne Marshall, Irina Shabayeva, Michael Costello, and Bishme Cromartie, among many others.

Project Runway is produced by Spyglass Media Group and Alfred Street Industries. Gary Barber serves as executive producer for Spyglass. Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Dan Volpe, and Nan Strait serve as executive producers for Alfred Street Industries.
