ABC Kicks Off a Flashback Summer with The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons Ever

Like all great love stories, nothing will keep The Bachelor from rolling out a new summer series. Even with production halted by a global pandemic, ABC and the show's producers have come up with a plan both simple and brilliant, quickly shifting gears and rolling out the show's latest spin-off: The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever! Each week for the next ten weeks, the show will revisit previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, and compress all the epic romance into one hour of over-the-top overtures and emotional hysterics.
