GNTM Season 22 starts secretly: Heidi Klum films in Munich

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents GNTM Season 22 starts secretly: Heidi Klum films in Munich.

Oktoberfest, "HeidiFest" and straight on to work: Heidi Klum stays in Munich and is already filming the new season of Germany's Next Topmodel there.

If you follow the show, you know: there are only a few days between Klum's Wiesn appearance and the new shoot. What several media outlets have established so far — and why production is running under notably tight wraps this time.

What you can know about the new season, how filming in Munich is going, and what's confirmed compared to previous seasons, you can read here.

What's been known so far about the Munich shoot

Heidi Klum is filming the new season of Germany's Next Topmodel in Munich — directly after her surprise appearance at Oktoberfest and the "HeidiFest" she hosted. This is reported by Focus, Bunte, the Abendzeitung München, and Gala in agreement.

After her "HeidiFest" and her surprise Oktoberfest appearance, Heidi Klum continues straight on in Munich. She is filming the new season of "Germany's Next Topmodel".

According to the Abendzeitung München, production is deliberately running sealed off — behind closed doors, without the usual bustle of set visits. Several media outlets have described in recent days that Munich is currently Klum's second home: first Wiesn, now GNTM.

Season 22 — what's already confirmed

It is the 22nd season of Germany's Next Topmodel being produced in Munich. This already sets the rough framework for the new run. According to AOL, Heidi Klum is 53 years old and is once again on the hunt for new models.

As Joyn reports, the 22nd season will also be available on the Joyn platform. Exactly when the season will start has not been officially communicated as of now.

Why Munich of all places?

With Munich as its filming location, the production is banking on a city where Heidi Klum has already been strongly present in recent weeks — first with "HeidiFest", then at the Wiesn appearance, and now with the start of filming. The temporal proximity of these stops stands out in several reports.

How extensively Munich will feature in the new season remains open as of now — the reports so far from Munich focus on the start of filming there.

Conclusion: More than a brief Munich stop

Heidi Klum is using Munich for several stops: Oktoberfest appearance, her own "HeidiFest", and now the launch of the 22nd GNTM season. For you as a fan, this means: the new season is indeed being filmed — and Munich plays a central role in it, at least at the start.
