“America’s Next Top Model was a groundbreaking force that forever shaped pop culture, but there’s more to its complicated legacy than meets the eye. Whether you tuned in weekly or recently discovered the show, Reality Check will reveal fresh insights and intimate reflections on the drama, controversy, and personalities that defined this iconic series. After teaming up with Netflix on big live events like boxing and football, EverWonder is excited to spotlight a different world of fierce competition: reality TV.” – Jon Adler, EP (EverWonder Studio)

“We can’t wait for Netflix’s global audience to see what really happened behind the scenes of America’s Next Top Model and the cultural moment it created. Reality Check is a fun, fast-moving nostalgia trip that also examines real issues of gender, race, exploitation, and personal conflict. And Netflix is the ideal partner for our first documentary series, which reflects Wise Child’s focus on telling character-driven stories that are both compelling and highly entertaining.” – Jason Beekman, EP (Wise Child Studios)
