At long last, we now know when the next season of Runway will air on Lifetime...
Lifetime Television announced that Project Runway will make its debut on the cable channel at 10 p.m. Aug. 20, followed by a companion series, Models of the Runway, that will take viewers backstage at the reality TV series.
Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn and judges Michael Kors (fashion designer) and Nina Garcia (fashion director of Marie Claire magazine), will guide 16 contestants as they demonstrate their design skills this season.
Models of the Runway will air at 11 p.m. beginning Aug. 20, following Project Runway. According to Lifetime: "Each 30-minute episode will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the reality competition – from the models’ perspective."
The new show? Okay, we guess. The models' perspective isn't really as interesting as the judges or contestants' perspectives, which is why it isn't part of the original good and successful show. But sure, make what you can out of this franchise, especially since you had to wait all this time.
