Tyra Banks has confirmed that "America's Next Top Model" cycle 22 is the final cycle of the modelling competition she created. However, it appears that there is still a possibility to have an "ANTM" reboot.
"ANTM" executive producer Ken Mok is said to be pitching the "ANTM" instalment to cable and streaming outlets and he has Banks' blessing, according to Deadline. However, Banks' on-screen involvement in the possible "ANTM" cycle 23 has yet to be confirmed.
Mok is reportedly set to make formal presentations soon to prospective buyers. It is said that the "ANTM" producers came up with the idea of having a reboot of the series after The CW announced the "ANTM" cycle 22 finale, which will air on Dec. 4.
The 21 "ANTM" winners are Adrianne Curry, Yoanna House, Eva Pigford, Naima Mora, Nicole Linkletter, Danielle Evans, CariDee English, Jaslene Gonzalez, Saleisha Stowers, Whitney Thompson, McKey Sullivan, Teyona Anderson, Nicole Fox, Krista White, Ann Ward, Brittani Kline, Lisa D'Amato, Sophie Sumner, Laura James, Jourdan Miller and Keith Carlos.
Among the "ANTM" alums who successfully transitioned to acting are Yaya DaCosta, Analeigh Tipton, Denzel Wells and Isis King.
The four "ANTM" cycle 22 finalists who are still in the running to become America's next top model are "Switched at Birth" actor Nyle DiMarco, Miss Maryland USA 2015 Mame Adjei, Mikey Heverly and Lacey Rogers.
Neither Banks nor Mok has confirmed the reported "ANTM" cycle 23. Meanwhile, Banks has slashed the asking price on her Beverly Hills home by more than 10 percent. The asking price of $7.75 million was reduced to $6.9 million, according to Variety.
