Here For It? Tyra Banks Upgrades From Guest To Recurring Judge For “Project Runway” Season 22

Tyra Banks is stepping back into the fashion world, this time as a recurring judge on #ProjectRunway!

This morning (June 18), Hulu dropped the official Season 22 trailer, revealing Banks alongside the show’s regular panel of Heidi Klum, Law Roach, and Nina Garcia. It marks an upgrade from her previous appearance on the series, where she served as a guest judge during Season 21. Returning alongside her is Season 4 winner Christian Siriano, who’s back as mentor. The new season will feature 22 designers and premieres July 9. The guest judge roster is stacked, including Ciara, #IceSpice, Iman, #NiecyNash, Winnie Harlow, and several others.

The news arrives amid some legal turbulence for Banks. ICYMI: She recently filed a lawsuit against Netflix, claiming her portrayal in the docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model is defamatory. According to #TyraBanks, roughly 16 minutes of a much longer interview were selectively edited to push a false narrative. She is seeking a jury trial to determine damages.
