For the first time in The Bachelor’s history, the reality television show is moving locations to Melbourne.
Filming will shift from its base in Sydney to the Victorian capital.
Despite the location shake-up, host Osher Günsberg will once again be helping the romantic hopefuls on their quest for love.
“The secret with longevity in any relationship is to never take the other person for granted, and always be ready to reinvent the relationship as your needs change over time,” he said.
“The relationship between The Bachelor franchise and our audience is no different, and taking this love story to Melbourne builds on the world-first season we have just seen, allowing us to take Australia’s most romantic dating show to places it has never been before.”
Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia’s head of entertainment Caroline Swift said Melbourne provides “the perfect backdrop for love to blossom”.
“A beautiful, sophisticated city filled with incredible restaurants, secret sexy bars, art galleries, live music, the list goes on,” she said.
“This season will highlight all that this incredible city has to offer for the most romantic series yet.”
The Bachelor’s last season finale aired in January without much success for the couples that ended up together.
Three happy couples rode off into the reality TV sunset – one of whom ended up engaged.

Just hours later, it was revealed two of them were already toast – with Felix and Jess and Thomas and Leah all going their separate ways after filming wrapped last year.
Jed and Alesia were fans’ last chance at a happy ending, telling 10 Play they were “taking it day by day”.
However, the pair sadly then explained that they had decided to pump the brakes on their romance and have some breathing space due to everything being “so fast-tracked” during filming.
