- Freeform and Disney released a trailer and press materials on June 18 that confirm Project Runway Season 22 will premiere July 9 at 9:30 p.m. ET on Freeform and stream shortly after on Hulu and Disney+.
- The season will feature a record 22 designers, the largest cast in Project Runway history, competing in weekly challenges for the series’ top prize.
- Heidi Klum, Law Roach and Nina Garcia return to the judges’ table, Christian Siriano returns as mentor, and Tyra Banks will appear as a recurring judge.
- Season 22 will include high-profile guest judges and crossovers, with appearances planned from Ciara, Ice Spice, Iman, Nina Dobrev, Winnie Harlow and members of the Dancing with the Stars cast, plus cameos from reality and fashion personalities.
- Banks filed a civil suit against Netflix days earlier claiming the docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model misrepresented her through selective editing, and that legal fight has become part of the public conversation around her new role.
