More Britain’s Next Top Model for Lifetime UK

A+E Networks UK has ordered a new 10×60-minute season of the popular factual-reality series Britain’s Next Top Model for Lifetime in the U.K.

Britain’s Next Top Model will again be produced by Thumbs Up Productions, which licenses the format from CBS Studios International. The new installment will see Abbey Clancy as head judge for the third time, with celebrity photographer Nicky Johnston also returning. The judging panel will feature newcomer Max Rogers, a male model. There will be a different guest judge every week and eliminations will be held at the Top Model house.

Filming on the new season is starting this month and is taking place in the U.K. and abroad. Executive producers include Marty Redman and Cheryl Price for Thumbs Up Productions, and Diana Carter for Lifetime/A+E Networks UK.

Koulla Anastasi, the director of programming for Lifetime at A+E Networks UK, said: “Lifetime is thrilled to announce another [season] of Britain’s Next Top Model, the show that has helped establish Lifetime as the home of fashion-reality content in the U.K. We’re delighted that star judge Abbey Clancy is returning for her third [season] and we look forward to welcoming some of the industry’s biggest names as guests on the judging panel.”
