Despite shocking ratings for last season, which featured three bachelorettes instead of one, Channel 10 has decided to make another attempt to revive its flagship franchise.
“Channel 10 is thrilled with the streaming numbers and the new direction the show has taken,” a source told Ny Breaking Australia.

The dating show, known for its cringeworthy moments and rose ceremonies, has managed to survive thanks to its video-on-demand (VOD) audience, the insider said.
“They are incredibly excited to bring it out for another season, which proves that love conquers all – even low ratings!”
“It's not just about how many people tune in anymore, and shows like Love Island Australia are a great example of that,” they explained.
'The bachelor's degree is doing surprisingly well on demand, and that is what really counts in 2023.'
