[edit]

After a sixteen-year hiatus, Project Runway Canada returned for a third season in 2025. The revived season premiered on Crave on November 14, 2025, and was produced by Bell Media Studios in association with Fremantle. Filming took place at Toronto Metropolitan University.[6]

The revived season followed the same competition structure as earlier iterations of the series: designers competed in weekly timed challenges, presented garments on the runway, and were evaluated by a judging panel, with one or more contestants eliminated each episode. The season featured ten episodes released weekly on Crave.[7]

The season introduced an entirely new panel for the revival. Supermodel Coco Rocha served as host and judge, joined by fashion journalist Jeanne Beker and designer, Spencer Badu. Designer and activist Aurora James served as mentor to the contestants.[8]

The winner received a CAD $100,000 career investment, a feature in Elle Canada, and additional sponsor-related prizes provided through challenge integrations.[9]
