Tyra Banks knows how to run a successful TV show. After a long stint at America's Next Top Model, the model and producer is now taking her spectacular skills to a new docu-series titled Beauty.
For the brand new project, Banks has partnered with Quibi (a new mobile streaming service), that will see the model star in it as well as executive produce it, Variety reports.
Dubbed as a "body positive" series, Beauty aims to help "break down barriers and challenge traditional notions of beauty."
"As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people 'attain beauty,' and how the world perceives beauty, Banks told Variety. "Our docu-series aims to expand and redefine the definition of beauty as we know it, challenging why we accept certain beauty parameters and reject others, and examining the beliefs behind those judgements."
