We present the extension of our NextGen model atmosphere grid to the regime of giant stars. The input physics of the models presented here is nearly identical to that of the NextGen dwarf atmosphere models; however, spherical geometry is used self-consistently in the model calculations (including the radiative transfer). We revisit the discussion of the effects of spherical geometry on the structure of the atmospheres and the emitted spectra and discuss the results of non-LTE calculations for a few selected models.
