“But I would be very surprised if Jesse wasn’t a part of it.”Īnd how about those wacky celebs who hosted in Mexico? “We are still in the middle of planning the creative on ‘Bachelor in Paradise,'” Mills says. Palmer - an ESPN commentator who starred as “The Bachelor” in 2004 - hosted Clayton Echard’s season of “The Bachelor” and inked a deal to return for Season 19 of “The Bachelorette,” which will star two female leads with Windey and Rachel Recchia.
#BACHELOR IN PARADISE BARTENDER SERIES#
The summer series used to always be hosted by Chris Harrison, but after his widely-documented departure in 2021, Season 7 was hosted by a rotating slew of celebrity guest hosts like Lil’ Jon, David Spade and Lance Bass.īut then, Jesse Palmer was named the new host of “The Bachelor,” replacing Harrison. “Bachelor in Paradise” was renewed for Season 8, but no announcement was made regarding its host. “The question would be, can you make a version that feels separate and can live on its own from ‘Bachelor in Paradise’?” Is Jesse Palmer hosting “Bachelor in Paradise” Season 8, or will celebrity guest-hosts return? “At the very least, we do have conversations about it when we hear people say how much they miss ‘Bachelor Pad,’” Mills admits.
However, even with all the love for “Paradise,” fans still do miss “Bachelor Pad” - and that hasn’t gone unnoticed by execs. “Bachelor Pad,” which began in 2010, was a raunchy summer spinoff that ran for three seasons and later, after its cancellation, was indirectly replaced by “Bachelor in Paradise” on the summer schedule. He adds, “For us, with the spinoffs, it’s always about finding something that can exist on its own so it doesn’t feel like overkill.” Could “Bachelor Pad” ever make a comeback?ĭon’t hold your breath, but it’s possible. “Senior Bachelor, we’re obviously really high on,” Mills says, adding that nothing else is currently on the creative team’s plate. “The Bachelor” has had many spinoffs over the years, from “Bachelor Pad” to “The Bachelor Winter Games” to the short-lived music competition show, “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart.” So, is anything else - besides senior citizens - currently in development? If we can find the person and the story that allows us to answer that, that’s when we’ll do it.” Are there any other spinoffs in the works? Gabby’s grandfather really gave the thesis of what that show should be, which is that he found that great love - we saw that he still wears the ring, so by the way, he might not be ready for something like this - and then, there is the question of having one great love in your lifetime, but can you have another? That’s really interesting and not something we get to explore on ‘The Bachelor.’ Or, finding someone who has never been in love. “I would be crazy to say that we didn’t notice all the affection and interest in Gabby’s grandfather, so you never know,” Mills says. (There have even been articles written campaigning for him to be the senior Bachelor.)
Viewers know that the grandfather of future “Bachelorette” Gabby Windey became an immediate fan-favorite from his on-camera appearances during hometowns and “After the Final Rose” with his granddaughter. So, who might possibly be cast as the senior Bachelor? COVID obviously put a major wrinkle in everything, but we are really looking back in earnest at it.” Could Gabby’s grandfather be the Senior Bachelor? Mills continues, “For us, we really feel a responsibility to find the right person to be that senior Bachelor.
“The response to that is so massive every time we put up a casting call, so I think it’s definitely coming sooner rather than later.” “The senior citizens show is definitely going to happen at some point,” Mills now tells Variety. The pandemic slowed down development, but “Bachelor” execs are still hot on the idea. Essentially, “The Bachelor: For Old People” has been teased for years. In 2020, a new spinoff began to percolate: A casting call for a senior citizens series was promoted on-air. Here, Walt Disney Television’s top unscripted executive, Rob Mills, spills all of that, and more: Is the senior citizens spinoff ever happening?
