“The Bachelor,” one of ABC’s longest-running franchises, is making its way back to the network with a three-hour season premiere today. The season 24 premiere of the show takes place tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
This year, 30 lovely ladies will compete for the affection of Peter Weber, a.k.a Pilot Pete. Weber was a contestant on last year’s “The Bachelorette” who put it all on the line, only to come in third place. This time around, he’s taking control and getting the opportunity to choose his true love himself.
Chris Harrison comes back as host as Weber’s search for his soul mate takes off to new heights when a few women earn their wings on a daring group date and other romantic dates — a first ever on a Bachelor premiere. Tonight’s premiere also features a surprise guest who will leave everyone talking.
Last year, “The Bachelor” delivered a 4.3 rating among adults 18-49 across all platforms after 35 days of delayed viewing, up 19 percent from last year, ABC reports. In addition, “The Bachelor” grew by more than 1 million viewers year over year, averaging 12.5 million total viewers in MP+35 during its last run. The show was Monday night’s top-rated series among adults in the 18-49 age group on each of its 10 telecasts of the season.
