European Nets Fall For ‘The Golden Bachelor’ As ABC’s ‘Bachelorette’ Hits The Dating Scene


'The Golden Bachelor' is being remade for RTL, M6, Videoland and Discovery Real Time ahead of 'The Golden Bachelorette's launch on ABC tonight.

Warner Bros. International Television Production has shopped the format, a spin-off of the long-running dating series The Bachelor, to France, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. Andrew Zein, WBITVP’s SVP creative, format development and sales, said: “ The Golden Bachelor has proved to be a massive hit, shining a light on the whole franchise and allowing its halo effect to reinvigorate the wider 20-year-old brand. By focusing on more mature singles with fascinating life experiences, it successfully brings something fresh and unexpected to the world of reality dating and relationship formats and, as a result, has attracted new audiences and older demographics to these shows, while still maintaining their heartland viewers.
