Bachelorette Australia - Season 8 - TBD - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

End of an era: The Bachelor and Bachelorette 'say goodbye to filming in Sydney' as the dating franchise is revamped following dismal ratings

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will change location for this year's seasons.

The dating franchise, which has been filmed in Sydney since 2013, will reportedly move to Queensland in 2022 in an attempt to shake up the 'predictable' nature of the show after last year's dismal ratings.

It comes weeks after rumours emerged that the series will reportedly return with a 'hybrid' format in 2022 in an attempt to win back viewers.

An industry insider said Channel 10 will only film 'one season' of the dating franchise this year, 'and it's going to have a male and female lead'.

'There is going to be a mansion of guys and girls co-existing like with Brooke [Blurton's] season,' the source told Pedestrian.

Channel 10 has axed The Bachelorette after last year's season failed to attract a loyal weekly audience.

Beverley McGarvey, the Executive Vice President of Paramount Australia, confirmed the series would not be returning to screens in 2022.

'We probably won't have an iteration of Bachelorette that is on air this year,' she told TV Tonight.

However, Ms McGarvey confirmed the network hasn't ruled out The Bachelorette returning in the future.
