New York.
The reboot. Project Runway returns to Bravo with a new host, a former winner installed as the workroom mentor, and a refreshed judges' table — the biggest reset in the show's history.
The relaunch. New host, new mentor, new panel, same Manhattan workroom — the show rebuilt around fresh chairs.
A rhythm worth tracking.
The reboot. Project Runway returns to Bravo with the biggest reset in its history — a new host, a former winner installed as the workroom mentor, and a refreshed judges' table, all in the Manhattan workroom the format was built around. The new creative team finds its chemistry quickly, and the season's argument is that the format survives a full personnel change because the format was always the show. The canon places it at the top of the modern era.
