“America’s Next Top Model” officially ended with its twenty-fourth and final cycle, which finished airing in 2018, with the show’s overall run typically listed as May 2003 to December 2015, followed by the VH1 revival through cycle 24 in 2018.

Quick Scoop: When Did ANTM End?

  • The original CW run effectively wrapped in December 2015, when the network announced that cycle 22 would be its last there.
  • The franchise then moved to VH1, where cycle 24 aired in early 2018, and that cycle is widely regarded as the final one to date.
  • Listings and guides summarize the show’s lifespan as starting in May 2003 and ending in December 2015, but fan and media discussions usually treat cycle 24 (2018) as the true endpoint.

So, if you’re answering “when did ANTM end?” you’ll often see two layers:

  • Formal guide/end date: December 2015 (original run).
  • Final cycle aired: cycle 24 on VH1 in 2018.

In casual forum and fan talk, people tend to say it “really ended” with that last VH1 cycle in 2018, even though the core CW era closed in 2015.

TL;DR: ANTM’s main CW run ended in December 2015, but the final cycle of the franchise aired on VH1 in 2018, which most fans treat as the true end.
