<i>Project Runway</i> Season 21: What We Know So Far

Heidi Klum said it herself: “It’s good to be home.” The supermodel and Project Runway host will officially return to the beloved fashion competition when season 21 airs this summer on Disney’s Freeform. Klum will rejoin the program as both a host and a judge, surveying each week’s design challenges alongside ELLE editor-in-chief Nina Garcia and iconic “image architect” Law Roach. Designer (and Project Runway winner) Christian Siriano will return as the contestants’s mentor.

Garcia celebrated the news back in March, posting an Instagram photo of herself holding a cue card featuring Klum in an earlier Runway season. “We are soooo back @heidiklum 🤩,” she captioned the post. “Excited to return to @projectrunway with the OG and my two favorites @csiriano and @luxurylaw. You KNOW it’s going to be a good season…so many surprises in store…”

Season 21 will comprise a total of 10 episodes, with the two-episode premiere launching Thursday, July 31, at 9 P.M. ET on Freeform. The remaining eight installments will air weekly on Thursdays at 10 P.M. ET. After each week’s broadcast, fans will be able to stream episodes on Hulu and Disney+.

Klum will make her highly anticipated homecoming after leaving Project Runway in 2018, after which she joined the Prime Video fashion competition show Making the Cut. That series aired for three seasons while Project Runway continued its own multi-decade run. Now under the Freeform banner, following its departure from Bravo, PR is entering its next era with one of its most beloved personalities back at its head.
