After exiting the fashion competition series Project Runway in 2018, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that supermodel Heidi Klum is returning as co-host for Season 21.
The news comes after the announcement that the series had been renewed for a 21st season while moving to Disney’s Freeform, after most recently airing on Bravo. Season 21 will debut later this year and run for 10 episodes, which will stream on Disney+ and Hulu after their Freeform airings.
Project Runway started its run on Bravo in 2004; the series then moved from Bravo to Lifetime, where it ran for 11 additional seasons. Klum co-hosted “Project Runway” for 16 seasons, before Klum and former co-host Tim Gunn in September 2018 announced they were leaving the series. Klum said in a statement at the time: “After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to Project Runway, a show that I was honored to host and help create.”
Karlie Kloss and Christian Siriano stepped in as “Project Runway” host and mentor, respectively, for the next two seasons, with Siriano filling both roles for Seasons 19 and 20. Meanwhile, Klum and Gunn created a new fashion competition series called “Making the Cut” for Amazon Prime Video, which debuted in 2020 and ran for three seasons.
