After The CW announced Top Model's cancellation in October 2015, VH1 revealed in February 2016 it had picked up the series for a "reinvented" 23rd season that will still be executive produced -- although not hosted -- by Banks.

America's Next Top Model debuted in May 2003 on UPN before moving to The CW when UPN and The WB merged into The CW network in 2006. Top Model format was also launched into 30-plus countries and it ranks as The CW's most successful reality series ever.

Top Model's 22nd edition, which was supposed to be its last, aired its finale in December 2015. Banks had said the show ran its course creatively and producers wanted Top Model to go out on a high note. However, Mok immediately led an initiative to resurrect the show.

Below is the list of 14 contestants who will be competing on America's Next Top Model's next season. (Also, click the GALLERY link below for photos of the girls and more information).
