Yes The Bachelor was planning to compete against the Olympics.
The spinoff would have featured an international cast and aired during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which have now been postponed to 2021.
The Bachelor Summer Games, ABC's planned counterprogramming to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, is not going forward as the television industry continues to hit the pause button amid the coronavirus pandemic, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter.
The summer spinoff, boasting an international cast, would have aired throughout the Tokyo Games, which — in an unprecedented move — have since been postponed until July 2021. Development on the ABC and Warner Bros. series has been halted; it's unclear if the reality dating show could return next year.
