LOS ANGELES - Longtime "Project Runway" stars Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are leaving the show for a new Amazon series.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the 45-year-old model and 65-year-old fashion consultant will not return when "Project Runway" returns to Bravo for its 17th season.

Klum and Gunn will instead develop, produce and star in a new fashion reality show for Amazon Prime Video. Details are being kept under wraps, although Deadline said the series aims "to make fashion accessible to a wide audience."

"After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying 'Auf Wiedersehen' to 'Project Runway', a show that I was honored to host and help create," Klum said. "I am incredible proud of the show, and it will always have a special place in my heart."

"I am grateful to 'Project Runway' for putting me on a path I never, in my wildest dreams, thought my career would take me!" Gunn added. "I am so proud to have been a part of the groundbreaking process that showcased talented young designers as never before."

"Project Runway" aired for five seasons on Bravo before moving to Lifetime for Seasons 6 to 16. Bravo reacquired the show this year after Lifetime's deal with The Weinstein Co. fell apart in the wake of Harvey Weinstein's sex abuse scandal. - Agencies
