After 20 seasons, "The Bachelor" will finally have its own live after-show.
Series host Chris Harrison broke the news about ABC's decision to launch a one-hour live after-show for the upcoming season of "The Bachelor." The new series will be called "Bachelor Live."
This is not the first time that the longtime host of the dating reality show conducted a live review of the events on a show. He earlier hosted the live after-show titled "After Paradise" for the second season of "Bachelor in Paradise."
Aside from discussing the events during the episodes, "Bachelor Live" will also air several deleted scenes and controversial outtakes that viewers would love to see. Harrison will also answer some questions from the fans. He will also sit down with some of the celebrity viewers of the long-running dating reality franchise. These celebrities were reportedly featured during the "After Paradise" episodes, including James Gunn and Jason Biggs.
However, there is no information yet regarding the possible return of his "After Paradise" co-host Jenny Mollen on the upcoming new live show.
The upcoming season of "The Bachelor" centers on Ben Higgins's second attempt to find true love in front of cameras. The 27-year-old software salesman from Warsaw, Indiana was among the gentlemen who tried to woo Kaitlyn Bristowe in "The Bachelorette" season 11, but he was asked to go home when she chose Nick Viall and Shawn Booth to stay until the final rose ceremony.
Ben will choose who among this season's 28 girls will capture his attention. Some of the girls are also former contestants for the previous "The Bachelor" season, including season 19 runner-up Becca Tilley and fellow competitor Amber James.
"The Bachelor" season 20 begins on Monday, Jan. 4, and will feature guest appearances from various celebrities like soccer stars Alex Morgan and Kelley O'Hara as well as rapper Ice Cube.
