AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL's record-breaking run will soon come to an end.

According to Deadline, The CW has not ordered a 23rd cycle of the long-running reality competition show, hosted by Tyra Banks.

"America's Next Top Model was a successful franchise for two networks, first at UPN and then The CW, and it became not just a ratings hit, but a global pop culture phenomenon," said Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW. "I want to thank Tyra and Ken for all their years of success in establishing a show that was not just popular in the U.S., but all across the world."

The series finale is currently scheduled to air on Dec. 4.

The current panel of judges includes Banks, fashion public relations maven Kelly Cutrone, and beloved runway coach J. Alexander (a.k.a.
