Heidi Klum is ready to make it work — again. As exclusively confirmed by People Friday (Jan. 3), the German supermodel is returning to Project Runway as host, a role she served for 16 seasons before stepping away in 2017.

The news comes more than two decades after Klum helmed the debut season of Project Runway alongside co-host Tim Gunn in 2004, after which the duo led the fashion design competition series side by side for 16 years. The two friends eventually left the program at the same time, announcing their joint departure in 2018 and revealing that they would be joining forces on a new project.

“We’re like husband and wife,” the “Sunglasses at Night” musician told People shortly afterward. “This was our baby. Our baby is 16 years old now. Our baby can walk, and it’s going to walk by itself. And we love our baby — we love our baby and we wish our baby good luck. But now we’re ready to pop out a new one.”

Klum and Gunn shared the screen again in 2020 with Making the Cut, a similar design show that ran for three seasons on Prime Video. Meanwhile, Karlie Kloss and former Project Runway winner Christian Siriano took over hosting duties for the Bravo-originated series.

Now coming to Freeform, Disney+ and Hulu, season 21 of Project Runway will reportedly arrive at some point in 2025 and feature 10 weekly episodes, though the rest of the judges have not yet been announced. In 2023, Elle editor-in-chief Nina Garcia, designer Brandon Maxwell and journalist Elaine Welteroth rounded out the panel for season 20.

Klum won a Primetime Emmy for best reality host in 2013 for her role on Project Runway.
