Project Runway: Christian Siriano to Serve as Mentor in Tim Gunn's Absence — Who Else Is Returning?
Siriano (who was the winner of the show's fourth season) originally replaced Tim Gunn as the designers' mentor in 2018 after Klum and Gunn both departed for Prime Video's Making the Cut. Garcia, who is the editor in chief of the U.S. edition of ELLE, has been a judge on series since it launched in 2004.

Newcomer and celebrity stylist Roach is best known for working with clients such as Zendaya, Céline Dion and Anya Taylor-Joy. He served as a judge for Seasons 23-24 of America's Next Top Model, before guest-judging on Project Runway in Season 20. Roach also serves as a rotating judge on RuPaul's Drag Race.
The new season of Project Runway — which was first announced in October — begins production Monday, and will air on Freeform weekly this summer. Episodes will then be made available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu shortly after. Additional special guest judges will be announced at a later time.
Although Klum is back as host, her cohort Gunn will not be back. Gunn says Klum reached out to him to see if he was interested in joining her, and he was: 'Of course, there's not a moment of hesitation in me.' But months went by, and he didn't receive a contract offer when Klum did, so Gunn called his agent. 'He contacted the executive producers of this new show, and they said, 'We don't want him,'' Gunn recalls. 'So I wasn't asked back.' The producers did offer Gunn to make a cameo, but he turned that down: 'As Heidi would say, you're either in or you're out. And I'm out.'

Étoile Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 29, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 29, 2025, 13:53 IST The ballet world got a dazzling new spotlight with Étoile , the latest creation from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino. This comedy-drama series, which premiered on Prime Video in April 2025, twirled its way into viewers' hearts with its sharp dialogue, vibrant characters, and breathtaking dance sequences. After an explosive first season, fans are itching to know what's next. Will the drama between New York and Paris ballet companies deepen? What's in store for the star-crossed dancers? Here's a deep dive into everything known about Étoile Season 2, from release date guesses to cast updates and juicy plot predictions. Étoile Season 2 Potential Release Date When Étoile was greenlit in 2023, Prime Video gave it a confident two-season order, a rare move that had fans buzzing with excitement. However, the journey to Season 2 hit a snag. In June 2025, reports surfaced that the second season was cancelled due to production costs outweighing performance metrics. Yet, hope isn't lost. The Palladinos, known for Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , have hinted at 'plots and plans' for Season 2, suggesting they're eager to continue the story if given the chance. If Season 2 gets back on track, production timelines offer clues. The first season took roughly two years from announcement to premiere, with filming in New York and Paris wrapping up before the April 2025 debut. Assuming a similar schedule, a revived Season 2 could aim for a release in mid-to-late 2026, likely spring or summer. Étoile Season 2 Expected Cast The casting on Étoile was a major highlight — a mix of seasoned actors and real-life ballet dancers that brought serious authenticity to the show. No confirmed list for Season 2 yet, but if it does move forward, most of the main cast is expected to return. Luke Kirby as Jack McMillan, the ever-charming New York artistic director who's now caught in a complicated romantic mess. Charlotte Gainsbourg as Geneviève Lavigne, the elegant Paris ballet boss, who's hinted she'd love to come back. Lou de Laâge as Cheyenne Toussant, the fiercely talented ballerina whose steamy kiss with Jack in the finale has fans screaming. David Haig might return, depending on whether his character Nicholas recovers from that sudden stroke. Gideon Glick, David Alvarez, Yanic Truesdale, and Kelly Bishop (yes, Emily Gilmore herself) all played key roles — and likely haven't had their final curtain call. Real-life dancers like Tiler Peck, Constance Devernay, and Arcadian Broad added a lot to the realism and beauty of the show's ballet scenes, so expect to see them again too — maybe with a few new faces shaking things up. Étoile Season 2 Potential Plot Season 1 left off with a flurry of big moments: surprise kisses, a power vacuum in New York, and tensions rising between the Paris and NYC companies. If Season 2 happens, it's going to dive headfirst into that messy love triangle between Jack, Cheyenne, and Geneviève. And given the Palladinos' style, we're guessing emotional stakes and career drama will both hit new highs. Will Cheyenne take charge in New York? Will Nicholas make a comeback and stir the pot? What's Tobias Bell — the eccentric choreographer now in Paris — really up to? There are a lot of loose threads, and the show's creators have teased that Season 2 would put characters in 'tough positions,' both professionally and personally. Stylistically, you can expect more of that signature Palladino touch — fast-talking banter, quirky side characters, and the kind of rich visual storytelling that made ballet feel electric even to viewers who've never set foot in an opera house. Some critics thought Season 1 tried to juggle too much at once, so if it returns, Season 2 might be a bit more focused — while still delivering the chaos and charm fans have come to love.

James Gunn Confirms 9 DC Projects in Active Development but THE AUTHORITY Might Be in Trouble — GeekTyrant
James Gunn recently teased what's happening at DC Studios, and while there's a lot to be excited about, one highly-anticipated project might be stalling. In a recent TikTok interview with Straw Hat Goofy, Gunn enthusiastically listed several DCU projects that are actively moving forward. 'We got some really cool stuff happening. We got Supergirl coming out in a year, we got Lanterns coming out [in] probably less than a year. That's some good stuff, that's some really good stuff… 'We're making Clayface right now, and that is, oh man, the script by Mike Flanagan [is] so, oh, so good. Straight horror. And we're working on The Brave and the Bold , Wonder Woman , The Batman 2 with Matt Reeves, we're working on that, we're working on Sgt. Rock .' That's a total of seven projects Gunn rattled off without hesitation. Add to that some 'Krypto shorts… little cartoons for kids that are really fun' and a second season of Creature Commandos , which Gunn calls a 'real big priority,' and that brings the current count to nine. But what about The Authority ? When asked about the status of the WildStorm team's DCU debut, Gunn's response was... less enthusiastic. 'The Authority, that's… That's not going so well?' He said that with an awkward pause and laugh, and that might speak volumes about where that project currently stands. As for The Brave and the Bold , Gunn recently gave a small update. 'There's really no new updates,' he said. 'I mean, we're working on a script. We have a screenwriter who's hammering away at it. I'm very involved, and so, you know, we'll see what happens next. I wish I had more news for you, but I don't.' One project Gunn didn't explicitly mention but is definitely coming soon is Peacemaker Season 2, which drops in August. The whole TikTok clip played with a running gag where John Cena, fully suited up as Peacemaker, is completely ignored by Gunn. which is a fun nod to the next chapter that's just around the corner. There might be more unannounced projects still cooking behind the scenes, but as it stands, DC fans have a lot to look forward to. Just maybe don't hold your breath for The Authority anytime soon.
