ABC is planning another "Bachelor" party. Alphabet has greenlit production on the 10th installment of producer Mike Fleiss’ durable dating skein. No word yet on scheduling, but skein could be ready in time for a late spring debut if ABC wants to bring it back then. Net is said to be close to finalizing a decision on the new "Bachelor," with an announcement possible as soon as next week. Renewal of "The Bachelor" completes a major comeback for the skein, which as recently as a year ago seemed to be nearing the end of its lifespan. With Fleiss, network and studio also opted to tape a cycle of the show in Paris. Those episodes aired last winter, and ratings perked up enough that ABC decided to bring the show back again. Skein is averaging a 3.3 rating/8 share among adults 18-49, with particularly impressive numbers among ABC’s core Monday night demo of younger females. "Bachelor" also has proven to be a compatible lead-in for 10 p.m. drama "What About Brian."

I don’t watch this show, but I have a lot of friends who do.
