At its heart, America’s Next Top Model was Tyra Banks’ show. She originated the canonical reality series’ concept, assembled its core cast and anchored its production for 23 seasons.
But Reality Check – a docuseries now streaming on Netflix that examines ANTM and its checkered history through the accounts of those who were a part of it – is not affiliated with Banks. In fact, the supermodel turned media personality was not invited to take the hot seat until well after production began, says Daniel Sivan, who co-directed Reality Check with his wife, Mor Loushy.
