‘America’s Next Top Model’ To Live On? Show Eyes New Season On Cable Or SVOD

America’s Next Top Model’s current 22nd cycle may not be its final runway bow. While the reality veteran is ending its run on the CW with a series finale on Dec. 4, I hear there is a possibility for a 23rd cycle elsewhere. I’ve learned that a new Top Model installment is currently being pitched to cable and streaming outlets. It is being shepherded by Top Model executive producer/showrunner Ken Mok. I hear the potential reboot is being done with co-creator/star Tyra Banks’ support. She is expected to continue as an executive producer, should Top Model find a new home. Her potential on-screen involvement is unclear at this time. (“I truly believe it’s time,” she wrote in reaction to the announcement of the show’s end on the CW last month.)

I hear the idea for a new Top Model installment came out of incoming interest the series’ producers fielded following the Oct. 14 series finale announcement by the CW. Top Model is a rare reality series with strong repeatability. It has done well in its off-network runs on cable networks VH1, Bravo and Oxygen. Additionally, because of its serialized nature, it also has fared well on the top streaming platforms, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. With incoming calls from cable and streaming players inquiring about new episodes, Mok started working on a pitch. I hear he is making formal presentations to potential buyers this week, joined by Scott Koondel, who oversees licensing to cable and domestic SVOD for CBS. (CBS TV Distribution is distributing Top Model, which originated on CBS-owned UPN)


Top Model premiered May 20, 2003 on UPN, and was the first series to debut on The CW on Sept 20, 2006. Top Model, which is slated for a retrospective special on the CW next year, has been the most successful reality series on the network and the longest-running series currently on the CW. Additionally, it launched a very successful format that has been produced in over 30 countries.

I like Hadassah she's really gorgeous but I feel she struggles on shoots

Mamé looks super old to me idk

Congrats to Nyle. Happy him and Mame were the final 2, probably one of the best ever. Was rooting for Mame but Nyle is equally as amazing!

I'm so sad this show is over forever

I've just seen episode 12 of cycle 22 and I'm so raging Hadassah always had bad photos chosen for her bar 1 or 2 weeks I feel the producers and Tyra constantly tried to get her out and she had one of the best photos this week
She'll go down as an ANTM queen in my heart forever I loved her and her growth so much she deserved final 3 over Mikey and Devon

[Headie]

I hope the rumours about VH1 picking it up are true... It will be Flavor of love levels of messy

[lewis111]

Wold they most likely get rid of guys as well and let queens like Hadassah get to final 3 like they deserve
I'm gonna be angry and upset about her leaving for a few weeks now I got so attached to her
