With all genders being allowed now there are no limits anymore for the 19th season except that the models need to be at least 18 years old. Heidi celebrates the start into this new era with an open casting in Berlin where the contestants make their first steps on their GNTM journey. Who can already impress enough to get a ticket for the next round?

2832"Casting-Fieber und hoher Besuch"22 February 2024 (2024-02-22)

The casting in Berlin continues in the historic Wilhelm Hallen with a very special guest: Jean Paul Gaultier helps Heidi with the selection of the cast and gives useful advice to the models. The ones that survive until the fashion show receive a fitting by designer Jasmin Erbas.
