ABC must really be in love with its new "Bachelor". TVLine has learned exclusively that "The Bachelor‘s" latest cycle — premiering Monday Jan. 5 and starring "Bachelorette" reject Chris Soules — will be three hours long.
It’ll also be telecast live.
According to a source, the super-sized opener will feature recorded elements (such as the traditional limo drop-off), but large chunks of the episode will be broadcast live.
(Similar to the After the Final Rose specials, the premiere will find host Chris Harrison holding court in front of a studio audience; past Bachelor and Bachelorette couples and/or singles will also be on hand to lend their commentary).
"The Bachelor" is coming off its most-watched cycle in three years.
