The Bachelor's senior citizen spinoff is still in the works

Variety

“Some of the casting interviews we got, they were just so touching,” ABC reality boss Robert Mills tells Variety of the casting process. “It’s such a different way of doing The Bachelor because these people are just at a totally different place in their lives. There is an interesting thing about people who have hit the other end of the spectrum, who’ve lived their lives, they’ve raised their kids, some have been widowed or divorced and maybe some have never been in love. We thought that would be an interesting dynamic through the Bachelor prism.”
