TV3 Confirms New Zealand's Next Top Model

TV3 has confirmed it is producing a local version of the hit reality show America’s Next Top Model which will screen in 2009.

A nationwide search for 13 young women to take part in the season, which will include modelling assignments and challenges to prove they have what it takes to make it in the industry will commence soon.

Audition details will announced within the next few weeks.

The Next Top Model series has local productions in 17 countries – including Australia where it is hosted by Charlotte Dawson.

America’s Next Top Model is licensed in over 100 markets.

    Do you know who’s the host?
    I heard Kylie Bax but didnt know if that was true.

    They will probably trundle out Petra Baghurst.. yet again. She appears to be the favourite of TV3. Personally I’d rather Jacquie Brown.

  • bobscoffee

    usually the host is a former model and no offence to jacquie but while she might make a good host she isn’t exactly the same stuff models are made of

  • Lyons Den

    Kylie Bax declined as did rachel hunter.
    I doubt TV3 will tap the international potential that new zealand has produced.
    But apparently Sara Tetro, works at Red 11 modelling agency, has been considered for a host or judge position.

    Does anyone know which production company is producing NZ’s Next Top Model? Or is it in-house at TV3?

  • regan

    I thought Sara Tetro was quite bitchy this week.

    She’s about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face.

    “Come on down Lucy”

    “Pack yah bags and go home”

    From the mercifully little bit I saw (in between Ninja Warrior finishing and Rove starting) I would have to say I’ve seen cardboard with more personality than the main judge, And she runs a TALENT agency?!
