In what could be one of the oddest hook-ups this year, our beloved Project Runway will be moving from Bravo to the Lifetime channel starting this fall.
According to Variety, The Weinstein Company — who produces the reality show — struck a deal with the female-centered netweork to play host to Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and their snarky comments for the next five years.
But the split between Bravo and Project Runway wasn’t amicable, ya’ll. In fact, the Peacock has filed suit against the Weinstein’s because they denied NBC and its Bravo channel the right of first refusal for the show.
Translation: They were completely clueless about the deal struck between Lifetime and co.
So, as one insider put it, Lifetime has basically “been sold stolen goods.”
We’re shocked. Harvey Weinstein looked so happy and content in the front of Christian’s show at Bryant Park this season. Plus, Lifetime isn’t nearly as glossy as Bravo. But maybe their film about the life of Coco Chanel staring Shirley McLaine will do the trick.
The good news: If this deal does go through, we’ll get two more seasons of Project Runway this year.
In the words of Tim Gunn: Make it work, people. Literally…

Sorry for the stereotype but lifetime seems like death for the series. Do they really have the $$ over there to keep the production standard at the level it is??? Does the lifetime core audience even care about PR? (personal assumption here, I could be wrong). I think I would end up missing the show simply cuz its on lifetime and that channel isn’t at all in my radar, similar to when networks change a show’s time slot…thats a wrap for me ‘cept if its something like Heroes or Nip/Tuck.
