"Project Runway" To Return to Bravo
by Nellie Andreeva
May 14, 2018

After a long run on Lifetime, "Project Runway" will be returning to its original network, Bravo, in a deal between the NBCUniversal network and Lantern Entertainment.

It marks one of the first big moves for Lantern, whose bid to acquire the assets of TWC (which includes Project Runway), was approved by the Delaware bankruptcy court on May 8. The pact with Bravo is subject to Lantern closing that acquisition.

“Project Runway is coming back where it all started, it’s coming home on Bravo,” the network’s Andy Cohen announced during NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation in New York.

"Project Runway" will be back on Bravo for its upcoming 17th season.

“We are beyond excited to reboot Project Runway at the network where it all began. Leaning into the creative process in an entertaining way has always been part of Bravo’s DNA, and ‘Project Runway’ perfectly captures that,” said Frances Berwick, President Lifestyle Networks, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.

“This franchise will be an important cornerstone to complement Bravo’s original premium scripted and unscripted slate, and we expect it to drive the same level of fan-dom and passion as we experienced last time it was on Bravo.”

Project Runway has been rejuvenated with its move back to Bravo

"Project Runway is exceptional reality television once again," says Andy Dehnart of the Karlie Kloss-hosted reality show revival. "The transition from Lifetime’s version to the new Bravo Project Runway is the difference between an artificial Christmas tree and one freshly cut tree from a lot in New England, bursting with fragrance; it’s cleaning off your glasses or sunglasses and realizing just how foggy they were; it’s eating popcorn popped in a cast iron skillet with oil and butter after years of tolerating bags of chalky kernels from microwavable bags. The differences are in every frame—and even in the music, which has brought back many of the original musical cues."
