The first season premiered on ANT1 on October 12, 2009 and concluded after two seasons on February 21, 2011. During that time, ANT1 decided not to greenlight a third season.
In May 2018, it was announced that Star Channel was in talks with Vicky Kaya to revive the series for a new season.[2] In June 2018, it was announced the new season is scheduled to premiere in October 2018 with Vicky Kaya returning not as a host but only as a judge alongside three new judges, Dimitris Skoulos, a fashion photographer, Angelos Bratis, a fashion designer, and Iliana Papageorgiou, a fashion/runway model. The third series premiered on September 10, 2018. Following its success, a fourth season with the same judges and the same format premiered on September 8, 2019. The show will return for a fifth season on the same channel in September 2020, with a change in the jury but also in the format. Genevieve Majari will replace Papageorgiou as the new judge.[3] On April 15, 2021, Star Channel announced that after 5 seasons, Vicky Kaya will not be returning for the sixth season.[4] On May 19, 2021, it was announced that model Ismini Papavlasopoulou, is the new judge in the sixth season, replacing Kaya.[5]
Seasons 1-4 and 7 each consisted of a cast of 18–26 female contestants. Seasons 5 & 6, the show featured both female and male contestants.[6]
