The Bachelor Spin-Off News: Is Bachelor Nation Ready For A 65 And Up Show?

With both The Bachelorette and The Bachelor looking to film their respective seasons again in the coming weeks and months, many fans can’t help but wonder whatever happened to ABC’s plans to bring all the Bachelor’s love, passion, chemistry and excitement for the 65 and up a crowd. Luckily for those in that demographic who have patiently been waiting for the news, it looks like it will still happen.

Back in February and before the coronavirus began making headlines for shutting down schools, businesses, and life as we know it, there was an ABC promo that directed viewers to a casting website, which offered more information about the possible project. Needless to say, there was so much interest that ABC is still hoping that the show will happen sooner rather than later.

Of course, fans will first have to tune in to The Bachelorette Season 16, which is expected to begin airing on the ABC network sometime during the late summer.
