Here’s How to Watch Old Seasons of ’The Bachelor,’ Because I Know You Want To

From Cosmopolitan

Thanks to 2020 deciding to be the actual worst, production has been suspended on literally every show ever—including The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. So yeah, on top of not going to the beach this summer, we also don’t get to live vicariously through a bunch of messy Bachelor rejects going to the beach this summer. Truly:

But! There’s a light at the end of this tunnel: Listen to Your Heart. Hahahahaha, kidding, no one’s watching that. But Bachelor Nation is coming through by dropping a buncha beloved old seasons for everyone to rewatch, and there are two ways to quench your thirst.

1) “The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons—Ever!”

First of all, I’m loving how pumped up this title is about itself. But yeah, The Greatest Seasons—Ever! is pretty much what it sounds like: a recap of some of the greatest seasons ever. According to Variety, “Chris Harrison takes viewers through the highs and lows of a particular season of the long-running reality series,” and get this—each entire season will be shrunk down to just one night. Fun bonus: We’ll also get new catch-ups with cast members.

The Greatest Seasons—Ever! will air for 10 episodes on ABC, starting on June 8 at 8 p.m. ET. So basically, if you have a TV or the ABC app, you’re good to go.

But, like, perhaps you’re looking for ~more~ than just a couple condensed seasons? Cool, ’cause:

2) Something Big Is Going Down on HBO Max

I know the prospect of subscribing to yet another streaming service is horrifying, but stay with me ’cause HBO Max will air at least some seasons of our fave reality franchise. Starting on May 27 (when HBO Max launches!) you’ll get access to:

Meanwhile, HBO Max revealed that they’ll also be housing additional footage from recent seasons, so get excited for more Peter Weber in your life!

As a reminder, HBO Max costs $14.99 per month—although it’s currently discounted to $11.99/month. Get. On. It.

GET HBO MAX

P.S. If all this old Bachelor content is NOT satisfying your needs, the good news is The Bachelorette is reportedly slated to begin filming this summer, which means it could premiere as soon as this fall.
