Disney+ and Hulu Juggernaut Project Runway Scores a Season 22 Renewal
Project Runway is strutting back to Disney+ and Hulu, renewed for Season 22 just weeks after Season 21 wrapped its 10-episode run, with fresh designers and high-stakes challenges set to hit the runway.
Project Runway isn't going anywhere. Disney+ and Hulu have ordered Season 22, landing just about a month after Season 21 wrapped its 10-episode run. The catch: it won't be back until 2026. So yes, there's a wait.
What to know about Season 22
- Who's back: Heidi Klum returns as host and judge, alongside Elle editor-in-chief Nina Garcia, celebrity stylist Law Roach, and Christian Siriano — yes, the Season 4 winner from 2007 who's been shaping the show from the other side of the runway.
- When it drops: Sometime in 2026. No exact date yet.
- Behind the curtain: It's produced by Spyglass Media Group and Alfred Street Industries. Executive producers include Gary Barber and Sean Hoagland for Spyglass; Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe, Michael Rucker, and San Heng for Alfred Street; plus Klum, Siriano, and Garcia.
- How the competition works these days: Designers race the clock to build looks around themes and materials — think reimagined fake fur, the classic cocktail dress, color-driven team challenges, and even styling stars from another reality show.
- Season 21 recap: Filipino designer Veejay Floresca took the win, becoming the show's first transgender woman champion. The prize haul: $200,000, six months of representation from Agentry PR, a CFDA mentorship, and a spread in the American edition of Elle.
Bottom line: the show's keeping its core panel intact, the prize package is still serious, and the streamers clearly like what they're getting — even if they're making everyone wait until 2026. I'll update when an actual date drops.
