The Bachelor Season 25 – Recent updates, and everything you need to know!

The Bachelor is a dating and relationship television series on ABC. The series first premiered in March 2002. Since then, 24 seasons of The Bachelor have aired on ABC. The Bachelor is created by Mike Fleiss and is the flagship television program of The Bachelor franchise. It has inspired a host of similar shows, such as The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise, The Bachelor Summer Games, The Bachelor Winter Games, The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart, and The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!

The Bachelor is hosted by Chris Harrison. A brief synopsis of The Bachelor describes the series something like this-

“The series revolves around a single bachelor who begins with a pool of romantic interests from whom he is expected to select a wife. During the course of the season, the bachelor eliminates candidates each week, eventually culminating in a marriage proposal to his final selection. The participants travel to romantic and exotic locations for their dates, and the conflicts in the series, both internal and external, stem from the elimination-style format of the show.”

The Bachelor was renewed for a 25th season in May 2020.
