Two Project Runway spinoffs in the works
Like an amnesiac housewife learning to love all over again, Lifetime has clearly found its raison d’être ever since stealing Project Runway from Bravo; now it’s planning to channel that newly sparked passion into two Runway spin-offs that will in no way cheapen the already-hollowed-out original. First up: An as-yet-untitled buddy comedy starring ascot enthusiast Austin Scarlett (season one) and Santino Rice, the season two contestant best known for his one-man show, “Tim Gunn And Andre At The Red Lobster.” The two will try to outré each other as they crisscross the country, making women feel bad about their dowdy wardrobes.
