Bunim-Murray will replace Magical Elves as the executive producers of Project Runway when the series jumps from its former berth at Bravo to new digs at Lifetime for its sixth season. I can't say that I am particularly pleased with the news.
I think that executive producers Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth have done an incredible job over the last four seasons with Runway and they leave some pretty big shoes to fill in terms of quality and content and I've yet to see that Bunim-Murray can really pull off a series of this magnitude.
Bunim-Murray's previous collaborations with Lifetime include America's Psychic Challenge, so I'm a little concerned that quality will suffer when the series shifts nets; production will also move from New York to Los Angeles for the sixth season, though judges Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, and Nina Garcia, along with mentor Tim Gunn, will return next season.
The fifth season of Project Runway, the last under the watchful eyes of Magical Elves, kicks off on Bravo on July 16th at an earlier time of 9 pm ET/PT.
What do you think? Will you continue to watch Project Runway even after it switches networks? And does a network berth have anything to do with the overall quality--or perception--of an individual series? Discuss.
