“We’re so excited that people are getting it all at once because it’s always felt like that kind of show to me,” Unreal creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro tells Variety of Hulu's surprise release this morning of the fourth and final season of The Bachelor takeoff. “And when you get to the point where you feel like you absolutely can’t stand Rachel, you know there’s another turn coming, and it’s coming right away. Bingeing feels like the truth to me right now, and I’m really happy to (tell the story) this way.” Constance Zimmer and Shiri Appleby were also happy that UnReal's final season was released for binge-watching. “My first reaction was, ‘Oh my God, that’s the most amazing news I’ve ever heard!'” Zimmer tells EW of learning about the plan last month. “We were so worried that everyone was going to have to wait another year to see season 4, which just feels so cruel. But then I was a little sad because, you know, this has been Lifetime’s baby, and I feel like we had such a great run. It would’ve been nice to see it end there, but I get it, and I appreciate that what they were more concerned about were the fans.”
