Overview
In difference to the last two years, a preselection was done and open castings were not part of the show. The first episode started with 50 semifinalists, the fewest since Cycle 1. This was also the first season where an elimination outside the judging panel can happen at any point.

Once again the entire judging panel except for Heidi Klum was replaced. Q and Kristian Schuller both left the show after one Cycle. Thomas Hayo and fashion designer Thomas Rath joined in.
