It’s the show responsible for bringing love to the lives of many beautiful young couples, and now The Bachelor will play cupid for an older demographic.

Keen to capitalise on the huge ratings success enjoyed by the popular reality series The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, television executives have given the green light to a spin off which will feature romance seekers aged 65 and over.

While the glamorous casts of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette feature men and women aged in their 20s and 30s, the lonely hearts set to star in The Bachelor: The Senior Years will be of a more mature vintage.

Casting agents are already on the lookout for a suitable gentleman to debut as Australia’s first senior Bachelor, while production staff have been asked to nominate any friends and family who might be interested in starring as one of the women who tries to steal his heart.

“This is a great opportunity for anyone who has a widowed grandma or grandpa to help them find love again in their twilight years,” a source close to the series told RendezView. “Romance doesn’t simply disappear in old age, so why shouldn’t older Australians get a chance to find love again?”

Producers are hoping the prospect of temporarily moving out of a retirement home to live in the luxurious Bachelor mansion for the duration of the show being filmed will convince prospective candidates to sign up.

The Bachelor: The Senior Years is expected to air on Channel 10 later this year.
