Lifetime has ordered a new fashion competition show, hosted by Project Runway's Tim Gunn.
Under the Gunn will be a 13 episode fashion series that premieres Jan. 16, Deadline reports. The Emmy award-winning Gunn will still continue his co-hosting duties with Heidi Klum for the Project Runway.
Gunn is the third series to spawn from the Project Runway franchise. Project Runway All Stars and Project Accessory are the other two offshoots, but the latter only went one season.
The new series will be produced by The Weinstein Company and Bunim/Murray. Bob and Harvey Weinstein will executive produce the series, along with Meryl Poster and Barbara Schneeweiss, Jonathan Murray, Teri Weldman and Sara Rea.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will have past Runway contestants Mondo Guerra, Anya Ayoung-Chee and Nick Verreos in charge of mentoring and running a fashion empire with 15 designers. They will each coach and mentor their own team.
The hopeful designers will be judged by TV fashion correspondent Zanna Roberts Rassi, stylist Jen Rade and designer Rachel Roy. One mentor and designer will win Under the Gunn.
