It's been a sad couple of years for fans of modelling shows with Sky axing both Britain's Next Top Model and The Face, but there's light at the end of the runway - thanks to Lifetime.
The network will revive Britain's Next Top Model for a new ten-part series in 2016, and they've already promised "some of the UK's biggest names in fashion" for the judging line-up.
It is unclear if Dannii Minogue, Elle Macpherson, Tyson Beckford will return to the show
The new series will also incorporate an integrated social media campaign to encourage viewers to get involved with the unfolding action throughout the competition, although this may not impact the elimination process as on America's Next Top Model.
However, it isn't yet clear if the British series will feature male models, as its American counterpart has in recent seasons.
Koulla Anastasi, Director of Programming for Lifetime at A+E Networks UK, said: "Lifetime is delighted to be working with Thumbs Up to bring the brand new revamped series of Britain's Next Top Model to viewers next year, through this exclusive UK deal.
"It is the perfect addition to our non-scripted slate, which includes Dance Mums, a second series of Dance Mums UK, Little Women and Bring It."
The new series will go into production in September, with filming set to take place, as usual, in the UK and overseas.
Meanwhile, Tyra Banks will front the 22nd cycle of America's Next Top Model on The CW from next month.
