The 27-year-old Czech supermodel will front The Petra Nemcova Project for American channel TLC in the summer.
It is likely to hit UK screens soon after.
Her show - billed as “grittier” than series such as America’s Next Top Model - will feature girls from around the world auditioning for a contract with a top New York agency.

The show follows other hit model series such as Project Runway, fronted by Heidi Klum, and The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.
Just one night after going home empty-handed from the Grammys, TMZ caught James Blunt with supermodel Petra Nemcova as they left trendy West Hollywood eatery Koi. Blunt cheerfully engaged our cameraman as he opened a cab door for his "beautiful" girlfriend. What a gentleman!

Also out on the town; rapper/actor Ludacris, "Fantastic Four" hunk Chris Evans, Tyrese and the ever-handsome Taye Diggs, who left with three lovely ladies in his SUV.
