The twentieth season of Germany's Next Topmodel aired on ProSieben from February to mid 2025.
This marks the second season with male contestants as well as two winners, one male and one female. It also marks the return of best-ager models for the first time since season 18.[1]
On the 7 January 2025 it was announced that due to the 2025 Southern California wildfires, filming of the second portion of the show was grounded to a halt. This was to resume at the end of January.[2]
Additionally, episodes would be scheduled twice a week, with men competitive episodes released Wednesday, followed by women on Thursday. This would continue on until a merge occurs after 12 episodes.[3]
This season breaks the record for having the biggest pool of contestants in the history of the Top Model franchise with 51 contestants.

Which boys show enough promise to make Heidi and Naomi put them through to the next round?
| ||||

It's showtime for the boys as they get fitted for their first fashion show.

The pressure is high: Who can impress them and secures a spot in the model house?
| ||||
305 | 5 | "Tränen lügen nicht!" | 27 February 2025 | |

This week Heidi receives help at judging by the grande dame of French film Catherine Deneuve and the male supermodel David Gandy.

| ||||
307 | 7 | TBA | 6 March 2025 | |
The makeover episode is always a rollercoaster ride of emotions. While the candidates sit nervously on the salon chairs, there is tension in the air. They have no idea what transformations Heidi Klum has planned for them. Will it be a dramatic cut, a bold new color or something completely unexpected? But not every candidate will change - Heidi Klum carefully selects those whose potential she thinks can be enhanced.
| ||||
308 | 8 | TBA | 12 March 2025 | |
Exciting news for the male models: Not only do they await makeovers, but also a nude photo shoot. For the future walk with outfits made out of innovative material they then get coached by the two guest judges - first GNTM winner Lena Gercke and male model Johannes Huebl. The styling is simple, monochrome and minimalistic. Who beams themselves into the next round?
| ||||
309 | 9 | TBA | 13 March 2025 | |
When the girls have their important sedcard shoot with photographer Yu Tsai in black and white, they get the creative freedom of bringing in their own poses or to pose elegantly on a chair. At the breathtaking location of castle Tüßling this week's live walk takes place - a fashion show inspired by the most iconic 60s looks of guest judge Twiggy. | ||||
310 | 10 | TBA | 19 March 2025 | |
Heidi rewards her male models with a day off as she invites them to the Münchener Hofbräuhaus. Afterwards it's back to business with a sports session and the following sedcard shoot. Who can deal with the changes in location the best? And who can impress later at the breathtaking Müller'schen Volksbad where the boys get thrown into a water catwalk?
| ||||
311 | 11 | TBA | 20 March 2025 | |
Let's go to LA! But unfortunately not all models will move into their stylish new loft. On the catwalk they first have to prove that they deserve their spot there, or they have to fly back home right after the elimination. Their catwalk? A lush and scented green-colored carpet. Their challenge? To harmonize elegance and self-confidence.
