Lifetime will begin airing originals ofProject Runwayin season 6, under a deal it forged with Miramax Television.

When we started doingProject Runwayfive years ago, we werent really a production company.

We were two producers taking work on a for-hire basis.

ButProject Runwaybecame a huge part of our company and we are very much known for it.

We gave the show its style and

emotional level.

Its not easy to walk away from it, by any means.

All

big decisions are complicated and you have to make sacrifices.

Our

emotional side is withProject Runwaybut our business side has to take over so we can build the company.

The production duo will remain onProject Runwaythrough season

five on Bravo before it jumps to Lifetime.

Pre-production has already

begun on the next season, which will debut in June.

I think one teaser Ill give

is, youll never look at tanning beds the same way.

As for watching season six once it moves to Lifetime without them, the

duo have their doubts.

It would be weird, like going to an

ex-girlfriends wedding, says Cutforth.

We might go but we wont be

dancing.

Meanwhile, NBC/Universal hasnt given up its fight to kill the Lifetime

deal.

NBC/Universal also is attempting to block Lifetime from

marketing and promoting future cycles of the show.
