Casting directors are now casting fashion designers for Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn’s new fashion competition series for Amazon’s Amazon Prime Video. The deadline to apply is February 11th.
About Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn’s new Amazon Prime Show:
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn left Project Runway for a new Amazon Prime fashion show. The global competitions series will see fashion designers compete with the Amazon shopping experience.
The duo has spent 16 seasons and 14 years together working on the fashion show. The duo is retiming for a currently untitled global fashion competition series for the retail giant. Details about the show are being kept a secret. Amazon reportedly says the show will make fashion accessible to a larger audience and offer a fresh take on the reality genre, while appearing to viewers who enjoy competition and storytelling. As part of the show, Amazon Fashion will create a unique shopping experience for viewers.
“After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to Project Runway, a show that I was honored to host and help create,” Klum said in a statement. “I am incredibly proud of the show, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I am so appreciative of the dedicated fans, and most of all, I am grateful that we could shine a light on creativity and help launch so many talented designers’ careers. I’m most excited that my journey with my dear friend and colleague, Tim Gunn, is far from over. We will be partnering with Amazon for a new show, and we’re excited for everyone to see what we’re designing next!”
Added Gunn: “I am grateful to Project Runway for putting me on a path I never, in my wildest dreams, thought my career would take me! I am so proud to have been a part of the groundbreaking process that showcased talented young designers as never before. Most importantly, I am indebted to our incredible fans, they are the heart and soul of what we do, and continue to inspire us to raise the bar in this arena. I’m excited for them to see what’s next, as I partner with Amazon and Heidi Klum on our next great ‘fashion’ adventure.”
This news comes after Bravo recently revived Project Runway after Lantern Entertainment acquired the show from The Weinstein Company, following the company’s bankruptcy. Project Runway was moved from Bravo to Lifetime, where it ran for 11 additional seasons. In 2016, Lifetime renewed the show for three seasons in a deal with The Weinstein Company. Bravo revived the series for a 17th season and has yet to reveal their hosts and judges.
“Bravo is proud to bring Project Runway back where it all began, and Heidi and Tim will always be a huge part of the legacy,” reps for Bravo said in a statement. “The series will continue its iconic impact with Bravo’s reboot for the next generation of designers and fans. We are excited to announce our new host and mentor very soon.”
