The streaming service has ordered docuseries “The Supermodels” from Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries that centers on runway icons Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista.

“My sisters Christy, Linda, Cindy and I are extremely thrilled to share our story with the world and there could be no better partners than Brian Grazer, Ron Howard which is a dream come true to bring it to life, as we knew they would respect and honor our story,” wrote Campbell on Instagram. “We hope our journey seen in the docuseries will encourage, motivate and inspire young people around the world. We look forward to this great adventure ahead with director Barbara Kopple. The Supermodels” coming to @AppleTV.”
