Current renewal status
As of early 2026, there has been no official announcement confirming that America’s Next Top Model is returning for a new cycle. The show has been off regular broadcast since its move to The CW ended in 2022, and no new season has been ordered yet. Status updates are most reliable when confirmed by The CW, Tyra Banks, or the production company. Below is a summary of the latest publicly available information and what to watch for if the show does come back.
| Date or Period | Event | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Final CW season airs | Shifted the show to an uncertain renewal path |
| 2023–2025 | No official renewal announced | Indicates the show remains on hiatus |
| 2026 onward | Potential future announcements | Status may change if a new order is confirmed |
What to watch for
If ANTM is coming back, the first reliable signals will be announcements from The CW, production company statements, or official social channels. Key signs to monitor include a season order press release, casting calls, and promotional trailers. Until then, treat any unconfirmed reports as speculation.
Where updates come from
Primary sources for any future news include The CW’s official press releases, the show’s verified social accounts, and statements from Bunim/Murray Productions. Tyra Banks’ public comments may also provide insight, though they are not binding. Avoid treating rumors or set photo leaks as confirmation.
Past revival attempts
There have been intermittent talks and fan campaigns to revive America’s Next Top Model, including interest in streaming formats or international partnerships. So far, none have resulted in a concrete production plan or airdate. Understanding this history helps frame realistic expectations for any return.
Factors that influence revival
- Network strategy for fashion or reality programming
- Availability of producers and key staff
- Market interest and audience demand
- Brand partnerships and monetization options
How to assess rumor risk
Because the show has a devoted fanbase, unverified claims about a revival can spread quickly. Treat rumors cautiously by checking the origin, evidence, and timing. A credible update usually comes from official sources rather than anonymous set reports or speculative headlines.
What to do next
To stay informed, follow The CW’s programming announcements, monitor trusted entertainment reporters, and check verified social accounts tied to the show. If a renewal moves forward, there will be a clear public process with casting notices and promotional activity. Until then, there is no confirmed return date.
