Modeling and dancing will stay on reality TV in 2015. The CW has renewed America’s Next Top Model for a 22nd cycle, as well as two other new reality shows, while FOX has picked up summer competition So You Think You Can Dance for season 12, with a new twist.
Top Model, currently airing cycle 21 Fridays at 9pm on the CW, will be back for cycle 22 in 2015. In addition, the network has picked up two freshman magic-based reality shows, Penn and Teller: Fool Us and Masters of Illusion, for second seasons.
On FOX, the network has officially picked up SYTYCD for season 12, to air summer 2015. However, this time the show will have a new format: Stage vs. Street. During the auditions, contestants will be divided into two groups. The Stage performers will be the ones trained in traditional styles like Contemporary, Jazz or Ballet while the Street dancers are the ones who special in Hip-Hop or Breaking.
Each of the two teams will be separately trained by an All-Star Mentor. The Top 20 will feature 10 dancers from each team, at which point they will go into the live shows and get voted on by the public.
ANTM, Penn and Teller: Fool Us, Masters of Illusion and SYTYCD will all return in 2015.
