Sims' Next Top Model World Tour (2020 cancelled cycle)

Sims' Next Top Model World Tour was supposed to be the eighteenth season of the series. It premiered on January 10, 2020, but was later cancelled on January 29.
It was originally revealed that the season would be based in China. However, because of the 2019 Hong Kong protests and the ongoing conflict with Mainland China, these plans were announced to be scrapped on September 20. Instead, it was revealed the show would reuse the World Tour theme previously used in cycle 9 and cycle 12. On January 29, 2020, approximately three weeks after the premiere, the season was revealed to be cancelled due to budget constraints and hindrances towards bringing ideas to fruition.
==Judges==
Judges Yachana Vazirani, Maicle Gambardella and Sin Il Hong all returned for what was supposed to be their fourth consecutive seasons as judges. Alongside them, cycle 16 alumnas Khonarh Movsesyan and Ko Umemoto joined the cast as mentors.
==Twists==
*Viewer-selected wildcard: In episode 7 of cycle 17, it was announced that the viewers would vote a previous contestant back into the competition. The voting was divided into two parts. In the first part, the viewers voted between the girls who did not make it to the finale in cycles 15, 16 and 17. The girl from each cycle who received the most votes moved on to the second round, where the viewers voted who should make it into cycle 18.
*World Tour: This season brings back the World Tour concept previously seen in seasons 9 and 12, where the contestants travel to new locations frequently.
*Top Model of the Week: The immunity system returns in the same form as the previous season. After each episode is premiered, the photos are posted accompanied by a voting poll in which the viewers vote for who did the best. The contestant who gets the most votes wins immunity the next episode.
*Teams: This cycle the girls are divided into two teams, one mentored by Khonarh and the other by Ko. For the first four weeks of the competition, the teams compete separately.
