In a few weeks, Heidi Klum (49) will again welcome numerous candidates hoping to become "Germany's next top model". As ProSieben reports, the first episode of the now 18th season will run on February 16 at prime time. The other episodes will then also be shown on the channel every Thursday at 8:15 p.m.

ProSieben had already announced in November that the young models were going to Los Angeles. There they should run their first fashion show. "I'm looking forward to a new, certainly exciting journey with my candidates," Klum was quoted as saying in the message. 30 participants are initially there, but only one can become "Germany's next top model".

In May 2022, Lou-Anne Gleißenebner-Teskey (19) prevailed against her competitors and snagged the title in season 17. Several well-known models have advanced their careers with the talent show. Lena Gercke (34) emerged as the winner of the first season around 2006, her colleague Barbara Meier (36) won the following year.
