Proving yet again that more often than not, an outsized, fan-friendly personality on 'Project Runway' proves more lucrative than actually winning the competition, season 4 alum Chris March is getting his own Bravo show. He follows fellow losers Santino Rice and Austin Scarlett, who got their own show on Lifetime called 'On the Road With Austin and Santino' this year.The as-yet-untitled show will follow March and his "crew of fashion misfits as they create a one-of-a-kind design for a loyal clientele that includes Madonna and Meryl Streep," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Bravo is also adding three other reality shows to its programming slate. 'Dean's List' will follow "celebrity hair guru" Dean Banowetz, 'Roble & Co.' documents the catering company of chef Roble Ali and 'Thicker Than Water' is about a large family. The network will also likely pick up a second season of 'Top Chef: Just Desserts.'
"This is the first of many new developments we have going since we put our new development team in place," Bravo president Francis Berwick told THR. "We're specifically developing around our five passion potions: food, fashion, beauty, design and popular culture."
