Tyra Banks Teases ‘ANTM’ Cycle 24 On Instagram Weeks After Rita Ora’s Cycle Finale
Tyra Banks may have just revealed her first teaser for the upcoming season of “America’s Next Top Model.” Just weeks after Cycle 23 with Rita Ora wrapped up, the famous model and TV personality took to social media to show off how she and her team are preparing for Cycle 24.
On Thursday, Banks posted a snap of her and her staff and crew working late at night in preparation for the next “ANTM” season. In the photo, Banks and her colleagues are seen posing for the camera while they’re stuck in the office. In the caption, Banks revealed that she and her “familia modelo” are doing some overtime work just to ensure that “ANTM” Cycle 24 will be “off the chain.”
Many of Banks’ fans quickly gave the former Victoria’s Secret Angel positive comments for the new season and her return as host and judge. One fan wrote: “Glad you’ll be back. It’s just not the same when you’re not there. You give the best advice for the models.” Another chimed in: “I’m so happy that you}re back. I’ve missed you on ‘ANTM.’ I can’t wait.”

Just last week, Banks dropped the bomb that she’ll be returning as the host of “ANTM” after leaving the spot in the 23rd season. She announced the news via Instagram by posting a wacky video of her complaining about having to do the show all over again. Her announcement comes just a few weeks since the previous season aired its finale early this month.
Banks announced in late 2015 that “ANTM” was ending its run after 12 years and 22 seasons. However, Banks gave another shocker in February 2016 when she said that “ANTM” is back with a new season, but it’s not airing on The CW. The show moved to VH1 and it also got British singer Rita Ora as the new host, Cycle 23 premiered with 1.7 million viewers, beating the ratings of the last five seasons before it, according to Vulture.
Following her announcement that she’s back to hosting the reality competition, Banks gave a shout-out to Ora for doing a great job in the one season that she filled in the former’s shoes. “Thank you for all the amazingness you brought to ‘ANTM,’” Banks tweeted late last week.
Meanwhile, aside from “ANTM,” Banks has also been tapped to replace Nick Cannon on “America’s Got Talent” after the rapper-comedian exited the show due to his rift with NBC. Banks’ involvement with “AGT” will also mark her reunion with her good friend Heidi Klum, who is also a former Victoria’s Secret Angel.
