Is The Bachelor coming back? Channel 10 rumored to be reviving Boxed show as casting begins for ‘returning dating series’ after shocking ratings
Channel 10 may be planning to film a new season of The Bachelor after it suffered terrible ratings last year, after being rebranded as ‘The Bachelors’.
According to television analyst Rob McKnight, Ten did a crew pitch for work on a “broadcast reality dating show”.
The former executive said the network is advertising for production assistants.

Rob never thought it could be a spin-off from The Bachelor or simply “misdirected” by the struggling network.

Ten of them are said to be looking for co-producers based in Sydney to start at the end of April through June.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ten for comment.
The Bachelor has struggled in recent years to gain an audience including the final season of the reformat, the singles.
Theachelors premiered in January in front of just 309,000 metro viewers, 18,000 fewer than the low-rated New Project The Bachelor which aired just before the show.
The show failed to gain a steady audience as the three leading men Jed Mackintosh, Felix von Hove and Thomas Malluchelli failed to impress.

According to television analyst Rob McKnight, Ten did a casting for a crew to work on a “massive returning reality dating show”.
The series finale had a five-city metro audience of only 358,000 viewers, making it the least-watched finale in Bachelor history.
This score represents a sharp 38.6 percent drop from the last Bachelor finale, which aired in 2021.
It also marked the end of a devastating ratings season for the embattled dating series, which averaged just 291,000 Metro viewers per episode.
At its peak in 2018, The Bachelor was drawing nearly a million Metro viewers per episode to massive headlines.
