Disney pulled back the curtain on its full unscripted summer slate Wednesday at the second-year Get Real House Live event. The announcements came fast: Project Runway is back with a record-breaking cast, Stassi Schroeder is officially returning to reality TV on her own terms, and Khloé Kardashian is bringing her inner circle to Hulu.
Project Runway Returns July 9 — With 22 Designers and the Full Original Lineup
Project Runway Season 22 premieres July 9, 2026, on Freeform, with next-day streaming on Hulu and Disney+. The season kicks off with a two-episode drop and brings back the exact panel that made Season 21’s Freeform debut feel like a proper homecoming — Heidi Klum hosting, Nina Garcia and Law Roach judging, Christian Siriano mentoring. All four return as executive producers.
Twenty-two designers are competing this season. That’s the most in Project Runway history. The show has been running since 2004, launched careers including Siriano’s and Bishme Cromartie’s, and has aired in over 125 countries — cycling through Bravo, Lifetime, back to Bravo, before landing at Freeform and Hulu in 2024. Season 21 consistently ranked in Hulu’s top 15 and crowned Veejay Floresca as its winner. Floresca is among the guest appearances confirmed for Season 22.
The catwalk will be stacked. Dancing with the Stars pros Julianne Hough, Val Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, and Britt Stewart are all slated to appear, alongside Bachelorette star Charity Lawson, Vanderpump Villa‘s Ekin-Su, and Love Thy Nader‘s Sarah Jane Nader — a clear lean into the interconnected Hulu universe.
House of Stassi — The Return Nobody Saw Coming (But Everyone Was Waiting For)
Stassi Schroeder is back. House of Stassi premieres July 29 on Freeform with a two-episode debut, with the full season streaming July 30 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. First announced in 2024 under the working title Stassi Says, the series has been nearly two years in the making.
The show follows Schroeder — a Vanderpump Rules original cast member since its 2013 premiere — as she steps back into the spotlight and confronts, per the official logline, “the ghosts of her past and a chaotic inner circle with a talent for disrupting her life.” Her cast includes husband Beau Clark, former Vanderpump Rules co-stars Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly, sister Georgianna Aubin, podcast co-host Taylor Strecker, and friends Rob Evors and Taylor “Teddy” Donohue.
Schroeder was fired from Vanderpump Rules in June 2020 after former castmate Faith Stowers revealed that Schroeder and Kristen Doute had called the police on her — falsely connecting her to a woman wanted for theft. The years since have included a bestselling book, kids, and what Schroeder describes as a significant amount of reflection.
“I was incredibly selfish and chaotic and I just feel like I didn’t consider other people before I did things or said things. And if I were still in Vanderpump Rules, I’d probably be the same person. This time away from reality TV has shaped who I am now.” — Stassi Schroeder, Marie Claire, April 2026
She also confirmed that her friendship with Katie Maloney had fractured and is now being rebuilt on camera — which, for anyone who watched those two navigate years of VPR together, is a storyline worth paying attention to.
Khloé Kardashian — And More From the Get Real Slate
Khloé Kardashian appeared at the Get Real House Live event to tease her new Hulu series, The Girls. It’s centered on her real-life friend group — Malika Haqq, Khadijah Haqq, Yris Palmer, Natalie Halcro, Olivia Pierson, and Nicole Williams English. Kardashian serves as executive producer and appears in episodes but is not listed as a main cast member. The series is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, the same team behind Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
“I am excited to introduce you to my chosen family. My incredible inner circle of real life besties. They’re moms, they’re moguls, they’re my girls — and soon they’re going to be all your girls, too.” — Khloé Kardashian, Get Real House Live, April 22, 2026
Other slate highlights include The Mob — a new competition series hosted by Parker Posey, set at an Italian villa — a California-set Secret Lives of Mormon Wives spinoff, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show coming to Hulu for the first time, and a new weekly Get Real podcast launching this week.
Project Runway hits July 9. House of Stassi follows July 29. The calendar is set.
