Since its debut in 2004, "Project Runway" has bopped across networks, beginning first with Bravo from 2004 to 2008 and again from 2019 to 2023. The show spent nearly a decade on Lifetime from 2009 to 2017. Now for Season 21, the series has found a new home: Freeform.

The supermodel and executive producer Michael Rucker discuss their homecomings to the series, the dynamic cast and why Christian Siriano remained as the designer’s mentor with the network shift.

Project Runway is officially back for season 21. The iconic fashion competition series made its grand return on July 31 with a special two-episode premiere on Freeform (and yes, it's also streaming on Hulu and Disney+ for those of us who prefer binge mode).
