What’s This TV Show About?

A dating reality show airing on the ABC television network, The Bachelorette typically revolves around one single woman who sifts through a large group of eligible male contestants in the hopes of finding a romantic match and, possibly, a mate. Hosted by former Bachelor Jesse Palmer, season 20 follows the journey of 27-year-old Charity Lawson, a child and family therapist from Columbus, Georgia. Lawson finished in fourth place in the 27th season of The Bachelor, featuring Zach Shallcross. Production on this season takes place in Agoura Hills, California, and there will be 25 male contestants vying for the lady’s heart.
 

Season 20 Ratings

The 20th season of The Bachelorette averaged a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.39 million viewers. Compared to season 19, that’s down by 46% in the demo and down by 27% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew The Bachelorette for season 21? The Bachelor shows generally perform quite well for the network and help feed new contestants to the others. I have no doubt that The Bachelorette will be back for a 21st year. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on The Bachelorette cancellation or renewal news.
