Cutforth said he has mixed feelings about watching the next iteration of "Runway," whenever it ultimately airs.
"It's a bit like watching someone you were in love with get married to someone else," he said. "You might get invited to the wedding, but you might not want to show up."
Klum stressed that the upcoming season will not deviate from "Runway's" tried-and-true formula. She and Gunn will be back, as will judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, though they do not participate in every episode.
"We've had a lot of criticism from people where they thought, 'Oh, it's not going to be the same, or it's not going to be as cool,' " Klum said. "For everyone who's worried out there, they shouldn't be worried, because it is just as cool. The only thing that really is different is the talent on the show."
And if the show's return on the air is delayed, the appetite will only be greater, Gunn said.
"Frankly, I've been more worried about having too much 'Runway,' thinking, oh, my God, people are going to overdose on this. The fans will wait for us. I have every confidence in that."
