Tyra Banks seems to have made a smooth transition from modeling to becoming a television personality as she has quite a string of successes behind her. America 's Next Top Model has been running for seven Cycles now, and her show Tyra, so far has been surviving in the airwaves. It seems that her transition from being a working top model to a television celebrity has been well-received by various sectors of the global community, and Banks is ready to take advantage of this.
Banks continues on her journey of success by signing on a long-term deal with Warner Brothers Television, which will include more reality shows like America 's Next Top Model, and scripted shows, feature films, and straight-to-DVD releases.
"My new deal with Warner Bros. represents the growth of an already successful relationship we have with the Warner Bros. family," Tyra Banks revealed. "Clearly Warner Bros. understands my brand and the reach and demand of our audience. As we move forward, we'll be able to provide entertaining content that is both fun and compelling for film and TV."
In fact, Warner Bros. Television President, Peter Roth is in full support of Banks, saying, "Tyra has established herself as one of television's most versatile talents, speaking to young women in a relatable way through her highly successful talk show and [ America 's Next Top Model]. We are thrilled to continue the Studio's relationship with her, and we look forward to translating her vision to the scripted arena."
For starters, Banks will be working on an adaptation of the popular Clique teen novels. Early next year, the team will be producing the first two films in the series.
It was also recently announced that Tyra's Bankable Productions will be hiring a new executive team to manage the production of her current projects. Tyra Banks seems to be serious about making it big in the entertainment industry, but she promises to keep it simple on her talk shows, as we will still be seeing her talking about hygiene, flatulence, "gaydars" and what-have-yous. She also promises to be inspirational and empowering, and not less than feminine fun.
