Bachelor Nation’s Guide to Every Premiere in 2020 Including ‘The Bachelorette’ and ‘BIP’
The Bachelor franchise has taken up the “can’t stop, won’t stop” mantra in 2020.
By February 2020, ABC announced two spinoffs of the iconic reality dating series.
We wanted to help you keep track of it all, so we created this handy dandy Bachelor Nation guide for you.

The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart (April 13, 2020 premiere)
While so much focus has been put towards the upcoming Bachelorette season, a new Bachelor spinoff titled “Listen to Your Heart” is set to premiere beforehand on April 13, 2020. The gist of the plot finds 20 single men and women living under one roof and not only trying to find love but also a singing career. The official description teases that passionate singles will go on Bachelor-style dates that focus on their shared love of music, there will be musical challenges, and best of all, there will be live performances judged by “the biggest names in the music business,” which apparently boils down to Jojo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers (how did they not bring Jedd Wyatt for this?!). Find out more about the spinoff here!

The Bachelorette (likely May 2020 return)
As Peter Weber’s season 24 of The Bachelor nears a close, there’s plenty of talk concerning the upcoming Bachelorette. (Plenty of folks are also freaking out because it doesn’t seem like there’s a clear frontrunner either. Our Bachelor expert weighed in on this and picked her top 5 choices so read them here.) Based on previous seasons and when they premiered, the 16th season of The Bachelorette will likely return this May 2020.
The Bachelor Summer Games (CANCELLED BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS)
Similar to Bachelor Winter Games, the Summer Games spinoff follows singles competing in Olympic-inspired sports while searching for love. Since producers are drawing inspiration from the Olympics, it’s safe the say it’ll parallel the sporting event and air sometime between July 24 and August 9. However, since Bachelor in Paradise usually premieres in August, it seems June-July might be the best month for Summer Games. More info on the spinoff here!

Bachelor in Paradise (likely August 2020)
Following its debut in 2014, Bachelor in Paradise has remained a hit. If singles competing in The Bachelor and The Bachelorette didn’t find love the first time around, there’s always a second chance as Paradise invites them back for another shot. So, yeah, it’s entirely possible Mykenna, her facial expressions, and her empowering speeches to herself will be back sometime in August.
The Bachelor Winter Games (TBD – looking at 2022)
ABC launched Winter Games in 2018 to coincide with the 2018 Winter Olympics (the actual sporting event). In this spinoff, singles spent time in Vermont looking for love and competing in Olympic-themed sports. Since the Olympics air in the summer in 2020 and ABC is opting for Summer Games, it’s likely they’ll skip this until the 2022 Olympics.

When Does ‘Upload’ Season 3 Come Out?

Fans of Upload—starring Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, and Allegra Edwards—have been waiting patiently for any information about a potential third season, particularly as season 2 left off on quite a bit of a hangover, with Amell’s Nathan Brown’s life hanging in the balance.
But now, we finally have a premiere date along with a brand new trailer that mostly qualms all of those worries.
Upload Season 3 will be here sooner rather than later with an arrival date of October 20, 2023—that is, for the first two episodes. The next few episodes—a total of 8 for the season—will arrive weekly in pairs, with episodes 3 and 4 landing on Oct 27, episodes 5 and 6 on Nov 3, and episodes 7 and 8 on Nov 10.
Episodes release on Prime Video at 12:00 a.m. GMT on the date, which means 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
The futuristic sci-fi comedy in which a man uploads to a digital life extension following his untimely death and forms a special bond with his angel (a customer service rep, in present-day terms) immediately built a dedicated fanbase for its comedic tone as it tackles serious issues.
In the trailer teasing the new season, fans see more of Brown’s time on Earth with Nora following his download. While the final moments of season 2 kept his fate uncertain as he suffered a nosebleed, meaning there was a possibility he wasn’t going to live for much longer, he’s very much alive and well 26 days after the download. While they’re still making good on their amazing connection, Nathan and Nora have also joined forces to shut down Freeyond, which has killed hundreds of innocent people in an attempt to rig the election.
But back at Horizon, Tinlsey, who noticed Nathan disappeared, rebooted him from a backup copy, meaning there’s another Nathan that exists in the afterlife. Ingrid is making the most of this “second chance” to do this right as “new Nathan” has no memory of what happened, nor does he remember breaking up with her.
“Two Nathans, one Nora, Never fantasized about this before,” Nora states as she pays a visit to Lakeview, where someone informs her that isn’t cheating, it’s just her boyfriend “6 months ago.”
Ingrid then informs Earth Nathan that “his girl is hanging with my fake dude.”
Will Nora get charmed by Lakeview Nathan? Has the real world taken a toll on their relationship? And is Ingrid really too into the afterlife while still having the opportunity to live a real life?
Check out the trailer and watch the new season starting Oct. 20.
Bachelor in Paradise
When Does ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Start?

Bachelor Nation—Thursday night is your night.
Following the premiere of The Golden Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise returns for its 9th season.
The reality series finds former leads and contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette—some fan-favorites, some controversial and least liked—coming together in the carefree setting of a tropical beach destination in Mexico’s Playa Escondida resort to give their journey of finding love another (and hopefully successful) shot.
The contestants then spend roughly three weeks dating around in hopes of finding their soulmate, all while dodging drama and feuds. Some leave the beach engaged, some in committed relationship, and some stay single.
Jesse Palmer will host this season as Wells Adams returns to the bar.
The series will premiere with a 2-hour episode on Thursday September 28 at 9 p.m. ET right after the pilot episode of The Golden Bachelor. Those who can’t catch it live will be able to stream it on Hulu the following day.
They will continue airing on Thursday nights weekly alongside The Golden Bachelor making Thursday’s the new Monday/Tuesday.

- Peter Cappio of “The Bachelorette” season 20

The Golden Bachelor
What Time Does ‘The Golden Bachelor’ Start?

ABC is expanding its Bachelor franchise into a new age bracket with The Golden Bachelor.
Gerry Turner, described as a “charming 72-year-old patriarch from Indiana,” will be the first to ever own the title as he sets out to find love amongst 22 hopeful bachelorettes.
The series synopsis notes, “One hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life.”
There’s been a lot of interest across the board for the spinoff as it’s a refreshing take on the franchise that many found has become quite predictable in recent years as it focuses on the same age group every time.
The new concept doesn’t just pique the interest of longtime Bachelor fans, it’s also enticing older viewers who have never given reality TV a chance, while also sparking interest from younger fans who want to see what kind of drama the older demographic is going to stir up (though Turner did call them the “sweetest” group of women ever).
Many also think that with an older-skewing cast, the focus will be more on finding love versus chasing social media clout as the contestants have all been through their fair share of life experiences and heartache.
“I want to fall in love,” Turner previously explained of his interest in the franchise, noting, “I really want to find my person who can put me in my place when I need it and make me smile at it. The person who can lay down beside you at night, not have to say anything, and you feel it. That’s love. That’s what I want. And I know that person’s out there.”
He was married to his high school sweetheart for 43 years before she died in 2017, so it’s fair to say he’s putting himself out of his comfort zone by pursuing a new romantic connection.
The series will premiere on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. You can stream the episodes the following day on Hulu.
It will continue airing on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET, followed by Bachelor in Paradise—who doesn’t love back-to-back Bachelor shows?
