“Germany’s Next Top Model” is back on ProSieben. In the first broadcast, head of the jury Heidi Klum invites you to a large casting – and welcomes male candidates for the first time.
The 19th season of “Germany’s Next Top Model” has started on ProSieben. Model mom Heidi Klum is welcoming male candidates to her casting show for the first time this year. It starts on Thursday evening with the final selection of models in Berlin. 10,000 applicants came to the open casting, 70 candidates had already been selected by Klum in advance – including the first male participant, flight attendant Niklas, whom Heidi chose without further ado while doing his job above the clouds.
GNTM 2024: Heidi Klum is doing an open casting
Wearing a bright blue sequin outfit, the “Top Model” boss first takes a closer look at the candidates in the open casting – and selects the Syrian-born influencer Grace and the 20-year-old Felix from Passau. Both can Klum inspire with her look and her energy. You can join the already pre-cast models in the backstage area, many of whom provide extensive information about their previous experience in the fashion business.

GNTM 2024: These are the first candidates of the new season
The identical twins Julian and Luka from Frankfurt particularly stand out here. The influencers not only look very similar, but also spend almost every free minute together and run a company together, as they report in a feature film.
Heidi Klum wants to know from Luka and Julian who looks better in her own eyes. The brothers gallantly refer to each other, while Klum explains: “I’m very good at it with twins.” After all, she is married to someone.
Candidate Aldin already has a lot of “top model” experience
Of course, not every participant can advance in the first “Germany’s Next Top Model” episode. For some candidates it’s over straight away. For example, 19-year-old Luxembourger Pia is studying “luxury,” which Heidi Klum clearly seems to be interested in. “Excuse me, where can you study that?” she asks, who has more practical experience in this subject. But despite the unusual career path, Pia unfortunately doesn’t make it to the next round.
Candidate Aldin, who already has plenty of “top model” experience, comes further. The 22-year-old has not only been modeling successfully for many years, but also took third place on “Switzerland’s Next Top Model”, the Swiss edition of the show. He is now all the more pleased that male models in Germany can also take part in the popular casting show.
The 33-year-old hair and make-up artist Pitzi, who is already known from the dating show “Charming Boys”, also easily moves into the next round. He not only impresses Klum with his look and personality, but also with sophisticated, barely recognizable hair extensions. Things continue for him, just like Grace and Felix mentioned at the beginning.
They will all continue to fight for the title of “Germany’s Next Top Model” 2024 in the following weeks, although this time there will be two winners of the season: one male and one female. Both can look forward to the prize money of 100,000 euros and end up on the cover of “Harper’s Bazaar”. By the way, the male winner of the “GNTM” season will make history, because no man has ever made it onto the cover of the fashion magazine. “Germany’s Next Top Model” runs every Thursday at 8:15 p.m. on ProSieben.
