The Bachelor UK has escaped the cancelled TV shows graveyard yet again.
Channel 5 has revived the US format for a sixth series to air in 2019, Deadline reports:
UK broadcaster Channel 5 is bringing back The Bachelor for a second date. The Viacom-owned network broke up with the Warner Bros-owned dating format in 2012 after two seasons but is rekindling its romance as it looks to find a competitor for ITV2’s Love Island.
Deadline understands that Warner Bros-owned Ricochet is producing the revamped entertainment to air next year. The ten-part series will start filming in South Africa in the autumn.
The original iteration of Bachelor UK survived on BBC Three from 2003 to 2005, before resurrecting on Channel 5 from August 2011 to August 2012.
