After Tyra Banks made her triumphant return in the 24th cycle of America's Next Top Model (its second on VH1), fans wondered whether the show would return for a 25th. They were in for a long wait, give that the cycle's finale aired in April 2018, and, as of May 2020, no decision about a new cycle had yet been reached.
Speaking with ABC Audio in February 2020, Banks said that, while a 25th cycle hadn't yet been confirmed, she was optimistic it would happen, expressing her desire "that we should at least end at 25."
If America's Next Top Model were to return for one final swan song season, celebrating its milestone 25th cycle, it would be a fitting end for a groundbreaking reality show that made its mark on television, surviving on three different networks over the course of three different decades. "So, we're seeing if that could happen," Banks told ABC Audio. "We shall see."
