‘The Bachelor’: While Nick Viall’s season films, go back to the beginning

The new season of “The Bachelor” will be coming to ABC in January, but the network is already doing what it can to prepare for it! In proving that this show really is a year-round affair, the series is currently into production mere weeks after we started to digest the end of this past season of “Bachelor in Paradise.”

Just in case you’re interested in snagging a quick progress report, we’ve got one for you below! We’re currently in the midst of the third episode of the season, given that creator Mike Fleiss tweeted below that the show has held its second Rose Ceremony. The third episode typically remains somewhere in California, so we’re not venturing too far off of the beaten path just yet.

Just in case you’re interested in something particularly exciting right now, we come bearing some more cool news: If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can watch the original seasons of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” right now! Think of these as a chapter in reality TV history, and you can head over here right now to start watching them — or watch them again, if you are one of those people who has been here from the very beginning. It is a rather select crowd at this point!

The new season of “The Bachelor” will premiere in January; for those wondering, we presume that we will have a wide array of news on the show when we roll around to November or December. That’s when some further news starts to come out.
