Tim Gunn has signed on to reprise his role as the voice of good design sense on the fourth season of Bravo's Project Runway, the cable network announced.
"I am thrilled to make it official that I will be back in the workroom for season four of Project Runway," Gunn said, according to E! online. "We are in the midst of casting the designers now, and I can already see that it will be another amazing season."
Bravo announced last year that Heidi Klum would be back as host and judge alongside designer Michael Kors and Elle fashion editor Nina Garcia, but in December Entertainment Weekly reported that Gunn had not yet signed on for season four.
Within the following months, he left his longtime post as chair of the fashion-design department at Parsons The New School of Design to become chief creative officer of Liz Claiborne. He also landed his own Bravo series, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.
Gunn's witty mentoring style made him a fan favorite – and the feeling was mutual. "I'm the luckiest man on earth," the 53-year-old told PEOPLE last year about his newfound fame.
The new season of Project Runway will kick off this summer, and auditions began last week in Los Angeles and will continue on in New York, Chicago and Miami, E! reports.
