Because of a lawsuit between Bravo’s parent company NBC Universal and The Weinstein Company, the Project Runway season finale had to be filmed at NY Spring Fashion Week without identifying who the designers were. For months we had no idea when the litigation would be settled, or when we would get our beloved show back. Finally, everything’s over and we are getting our fix this summer!

“NBC Universal, The Weinstein Company and Lifetime have resolved their disputes,” NBC Universal said in a Wednesday statement.  “The Weinstein Company will pay NBCU for the right to move Project Runway to Lifetime. All of the parties are pleased with the outcome.”

Now that the legal saga surrounding Project Runway has been resolved, Lifetime will move forward with the show and air it this summer.  “I couldn’t be more excited that Lifetime will bring its viewers an amazing, all-new season of Project Runway this summer,” Lifetime Networks president Andrea Wong said in a separate Wednesday statement.

In addition, Lifetime also plans to keep Models of the Runway — a Project Runway spin-off that will provide viewers a look at the reality series through the eyes of the models who participate in it — as a companion series by premiering it this summer.

I am SO excited!!! Bravo obviously quit caring about the show and the last season was terrible. Hopefully Lifetime is able to breathe new life into the masterpiece of Project Runway. And this spin-off sounds delicious, too. I cannot wait!!!!!!
