Greece's Next Top Model is a Greek reality television series of the Next Top Model franschise. It is and the second Greek iteration after Next Top Model. Four judges are the head of the search for the contestants.[1] The basic premise of the series is a group of young contestants who live together in a house for several weeks while taking part in various challenges, photo shoots and meetings with members of the modeling industry. Normally, one poor-performing contestant is eliminated each week until the last contestant remaining is declared "Greece's Next Top Model" and receives a modeling contract along with other associated prizes.

In May 2018, it was announced that Star Channel was in talks with Vicky Kaya to revive the series for a new season.[2] In June 2018, it was announced the new season is scheduled to premiere in October 2018 with Vicky Kaya returning not as a host but only as a judge alongside three new judges, Dimitris Skoulos, a fashion photographer, Angelos Bratis, a fashion designer, and Iliana Papageorgiou, a fashion/runway model. The first series premiered on September 10, 2018. Following its success, a two season with the same judges and the same format premiered on September 8, 2019. The show will return for a three season on the same channel in September 2020, with a change in the jury but also in the format. Genevieve Majari will replace Papageorgiou as the new judge.[3] On April 15, 2021, Star Channel announced that after 3 seasons, Vicky Kaya will not be returning for the fourth season.[4] On May 19, 2021, it was announced that model Ismini Papavlasopoulou, is the new judge in the fourth season, replacing Kaya.[5]

Seasons 1-2 and 5 each consisted of a cast of 18–26 female contestants. Seasons 3 & 4, the show featured both female and male contestants.[6]
