The twenty-third cycle of America's Next Top Model premiered on October 16 2016 on VH1.[1] As a result of the revival of the series following its cancellation by The CW in October 2015, this cycle follows the series' original format of an all-female contest.
The cycle is presented by British singer Rita Ora, who took over from former model and businesswoman Tyra Banks. The judging panel has been fully revamped, consisting of model Ashley Graham, Paper magazine chief creative officer Drew Elliott, and celebrity stylist Law Roach, replacing the previous panel consisting of Banks, fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone, and runway coach J. Alexander.[2][3] Banks still serves as the series' executive producer.[2][3]
