Project Runway season 22 trailer coverage has a clear headline: Tyra Banks is returning as a recurring judge alongside Heidi Klum, Law Roach and Nina Garcia.
The short answer
People reports that Project Runway season 22 premieres July 9 on Freeform, with episodes streaming on Hulu and Disney+. The season has 22 designers and a larger guest-judge slate.
The trailer is hosted by People from Hulu’s release. No official public YouTube upload from Hulu, Freeform or Project Runway was available in the checked sources, so this article does not embed an unofficial reupload.
Who is back for season 22?
Heidi Klum remains central to the revived run, with Christian Siriano mentoring and Nina Garcia and Law Roach on the judging side. Tyra Banks’ return adds the strongest social hook because she brings a reality-TV fashion history beyond Project Runway itself.
The confirmed guest slate also gives the season more pop-culture crossover than a normal design competition rollout.
For viewers who dropped off during earlier format changes, the season 22 hook is simple: familiar Project Runway names are back, but the judging table has enough new energy to make the return feel like a reset rather than a repeat.
The trailer also keeps the focus where the show works best: fast design challenges, workroom pressure, runway judging and contestants trying to translate a concept into something that survives the panel.
When does Project Runway season 22 premiere?
People reports a July 9 premiere on Freeform, with Hulu and Disney+ as the streaming homes. That makes the trailer useful now because viewers have a clear date and platform before the season starts.
For casual viewers, the reason to care is simple: the new season is being sold as bigger, busier and more celebrity-facing than the previous run.
The streaming setup also helps the show reach viewers who do not watch Freeform live. If you follow the fashion chatter online, Hulu and Disney+ availability should make it easier to catch up before runway clips start circulating.
That matters for a competition series because individual looks can become social posts before viewers have watched the judging context. Starting with the premiere keeps the eliminations and standout designs in order.
