Why was Magical Elves dropped? Will that mean any kind of substantive change, or does it just keep the iconic fashion reality competition in the hands of the people who created it in 2004?įor comparison, here are the producer credits from the past three seasons of press releases: Spyglass is a production company created by Lantern Entertainment, which bought the rights to the show when The Weinstein Company went bankrupt.

Instead, the two production companies listed are Alfred Street Industries-the relatively new production company created by Magical Elves founders Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz-and Spyglass Media Group. Seasons 17 and 18 were produced in part by Magical Elves, which created the format before losing it to Lifetime where Bunim-Murray took over production, but the season 19 announcement does not include Magical Elves. There’s another change behind the scenes, too. (Photo by Evans Vestal Ward/Universal Kids) 12, 2017, premiere party at Gwen Restaurant in L.A. Does the show truly need a host? Magical Elves have disappeared from Project Runway 19 Magical Elves’ Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz (center and right) with Top Chef Junior host Vanessa Lachey at an Oct. Variety’s Kate Aurthur quotes a production source who says the show is “reimagining the host role.”ĭoes that just mean they let Christian host it? Karlie has been great, but she’s essentially been a fourth judge. Who will host Project Runway season 19? The announcement does not say. Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner (yep, Jared’s brother), just had a baby in mid-March. The announcement says that Karlie will only be “making guest appearances,” and removed her from the credits as an executive producer. The new season will be start filming “this spring” in New York City, Bravo announced. Judges Nina Garcia, Elaine Welteroth, and Brandon Maxwell are all returning, as is mentor Christian Siriano. After all, there’s no reason for it to move any slower than that now that so many virus regulations are in place.After two seasons hosting the revival of Project Runway on Bravo, Karlie Kloss won’t return for season 19, which will start filming soon. So with all of this said, let’s hope that there is some season 20 news coming sooner rather than later - odds are, more episodes will premiere in 2023 if it does come back. It’s developed a legitimate pipeline, and it’s a great way to see fresh faces express themselves year in and year out. When you look across the board, there are a number of successful designers who have come from this world. Also, it’s one of the few shows of its kind where there is a genuine overall level of success. It still succeeds in a format (fashion competition shows) that have had a pretty hard time elsewhere.

We do think that it will come back, mostly because it seems high-key ridiculous to cancel something right before a big milestone like 20 seasons. Project Runway does not have an official renewal as of yet and there’s a chance we could be waiting for a good while to learn for sure. Yet, a dedicated audience does not mean another season will happen.
