Last summer, “Bachelor in Paradise” led its Monday night time period and stood as the night’s No. 1 series across all key Adult demos (A18-34/A18-49/A25-54). In fact, “Bachelor in Paradise” was Monday’s No. 1 series on 4 of its 5 telecasts with Adults 18-49. The series’ Tuesday-night run stood as last summer’s No. 1 program of the night among Women 18-34.

These “Bachelor” franchise properties join the already announced 24^th season of “The Bachelor,” which will also return in 2020. During its 2019 run, featuring Colton Underwood, “The Bachelor” ranked as Monday’s No. 1 TV program in Adults 18-34, Women 18-34 and Women 18-49, standing as the night’s top-rated series on each of its 10 telecasts of the season.
