As hard as it is to get by short of Heidi, Nina, and the endearing Tim, Project Runway: All Stars always helps to fill the perfectly intended hole in our hearts during breaks between Project Runway seasons. And if you’ve enjoyed the past few years of the leading show, you’re in luck: The cast of All Stars season 4 of is heavy on designers from Runway‘s past few seasons and even throwing in some winners as well (shocker!).

The most prominent designers include Chris March of season 4, recently picked by EW as the best season in Runway history and Jay Sario of season 7. As the returning designers know, nothing is as it seems on Project Runway All Stars. Before revealing the first challenge, host Alyssa Milano reveals that two former Project Runway winners, Dmitry Sholokhov and Michelle Lesniak, are back, making the rivalry and competition tougher than ever! Hoping for at least one win is Kate Pankoke, who is getting her third opportunity to prove herself on the runway; she formerly appeared in season 11, and then was brought back for season 12 by a fan vote.

Season 11 representatives include, Samantha Black, Benjamin Mach, and Patricia Michaels. From Season 12 expect Helen Castillo, Justin LeBlanc, and Alexandria von Bromssen to try and sew their way to first place.

This season’s highlights include a surprise visit to London for a challenge featuring British royalty, collaboration with Broadway’s Wicked: The Musical and the first-ever wedding ceremony live on the runway!
