The new Netflix docuseries examines the ups and downs of the modeling competition series that captivated the nation at the time… and has people looking back at it with disdain now.
ANTM host Tyra Banks will be appearing in the documentary. As she says in the trailer, “I haven't really said much, but now it's time.”
Also interviewed for the feature are Jay Alexander, Nigel Barker, and Jay Manuel, as well as former contestants, judges, and producers of the series.
Former America's Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry bashed the series when it was first announced and revealed on social media that she refused to participate in it: “I say no to all of these. I have 0 trust in any producers, no desire to be really public in this day and age…. and am hard retired from Hollywood,” she wrote. She also added that she thought it was “absurd” to be “psychoanalyzing it over 20 years later with a woke lens.”
The series is directed by Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan, and it's executive produced by Ryan Miller, Jason Beekman, Vanessa Golembewski, Jon Adler, Amanda Spain, Ian Orefice, and Jonna McLaughlin.
Of the show, Adler said, “ America's Next Top Model was a groundbreaking force that forever shaped pop culture, but there's more to its complicated legacy than meets the eye. Whether you tuned in weekly or recently discovered the show, Reality Check will reveal fresh insights and intimate reflections on the drama, controversy, and personalities that defined this iconic series.”
Beekamn added, “We can't wait for Netflix's global audience to see what really happened behind the scenes of America's Next Top Model and the cultural moment it created. Reality Check is a fun, fast-moving nostalgia trip that also examines real issues of gender, race, exploitation, and personal conflict.”
⁘Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model⁘ is Netflix's forthcoming, three-part docuseries that dissects the scandals and controversies that have plagued the fan-favorite modeling show-turned-pop culture phenomenon, which debuted in 2003.
