AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL's record-breaking run will soon come to an end.

According to Deadline, The CW has not ordered a 23rd cycle of the long-running reality competition show, hosted by Tyra Banks.

"America's Next Top Model was a successful franchise for two networks, first at UPN and then The CW, and it became not just a ratings hit, but a global pop culture phenomenon," said Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW. "I want to thank Tyra and Ken for all their years of success in establishing a show that was not just popular in the U.S., but all across the world."

The series finale is currently scheduled to air on Dec. 4.

The current panel of judges includes Banks, fashion public relations maven Kelly Cutrone, and beloved runway coach J. Alexander (a.k.a. "Miss J.") to determine who stays and who goes in the competition. Acclaimed photographer Yu Tsai also returns as a photo shoot creative consultant. This cycle will also feature special guests Jonathan and Drew Scott ("Property Brothers") who designed the cast house this cycle, Supermodel Chrissy Teigen and world-renowned fashion editor Joe Zee. This is the third "Guys and Girls" edition of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, which debuted in 2003.

The model hopefuls compete for a career-launching prize package that includes new luxury fashion partner Zappos Couture as well as Nylon and Next Management. The winner will receive prizes including: $100,000 from Zappos Couture as well as being the face of their national luxury brand re-launch in 2016, a fashion feature in Nylon, as well as being offered a modeling contract with Next Management.
