The fiercest show on cable, Project Runway, is moving from Bravo to Lifetime, reports Variety. The change won't come without a fight from parent network NBC, however:
Peacock has filed suit in New York Supreme Court against "Project Runway" producer the Weinstein Co., asserting the shingle violated NBC and Bravo's right of first refusal.
Lifetime announced Monday that TWC has signed a five-year deal with the femme-centric cabler to take over the show -- cable's top-rated reality skein -- effective November. As a result, Heidi Klum and company will say "auf wiedersehen" to NBC's Bravo cabler after one final season this summer.
"They've been sold stolen goods," an NBC U insider said of the Lifetime deal.
In this situation former Runway contestant Santino Rice comes to mind when he once proclaimed: "lighten up, it's just fashion."
Here's an idea: why don't the dueling networks stage a walk-off to settle the dispute like this one with Tim Gunn and season four winner Christian Siriano?
