During the first quarter of 2016, avid "America's Next Top Model" fans were thrilled when VH1 announced that the former CW hit modeling competition reality series will be back for its cycle 23 on the network. As part of the show's "fierce-a-fied rebirth," the show will have a new host, an interesting set of judges and a different location.
Ever since VH1 announced the upcoming launch of "America's Next Top Model" cycle 23, many fans have been curious about what to expect on the show's reboot. However, important details were kept under wraps and only information about the new host, judges and location have been released.
