The tug-of-war over which network will host the infamous Project Runway is now over. The television show that gives young models the chance at a big time modeling career. The host of the show, supermodel Heidi Klum, will be moving with the show to Lifetime network starting August 20th this fall.
Other than the major change of networks from Bravo to Lifetime, the show will also take place t a new design school. The show will jump across the country from east coast to west coast, from Parsons the School for Design in New York City to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.
The producers of the show have expressed great enthusiasm about the sixth season of the show. Recently they have let on likely guests on the show, such as Tiki Barber, Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Lindsay Lohan, all will appear as judges during this coming season.
Tension began to grow in regard to Project Runway in April of last year, when it was announced that the hot show would no longer be appearing on its longtime home network. A writer for Entertainment Weekly, Missy Schwartz, explained to an anchor on the Early Show, the legal drama that was occurring last spring, around the same time of the finale for the show of season five.
The legal issues begun when the Weinstein Company decided to take the show to a different network. The Weinstein Company’s parent company, NBC Universal, then took legal action, accusing their sub company of breaking contract. The Weinstein company then turned around to sue Bravo (the network that the show appeared on until season five) of not properly promoting the show for the last season that it appeared on their network. In the end, Lifetime also ended up filing a lawsuit as well.
Finally, after long deliberation, the final ruling has finally been made that the show will appear on Lifetime for the first time this coming summer. After nearly a year, fan’s of the fashion show can put their minds at ease and enjoy a summer of fashion.
