Project Runway is a reality series in which fashion designers compete in daily contests and design clothes for their runway line. It aired on Bravo for five seasons and was set to begin airing on Lifetime in November 2008 but NBC Universal took The Weinstein Company to court over the move and a judge placed an injunction on it. In March 2009 the three companies came to an agreement and it was announced that season six of Project Runway would be airing on Lifetime in summer 2009.
