“The Bachelor” settled for new lows in ratings overnight with Matt James’ season 25 debut on Monday night.
In Live + Same Day ratings, the long-running ABC dating show earned a rating of 1.3 among adults ages 18 to 49 and 5 million viewers from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. the previous record coming in 2019. This season premiere, starring Colton Underwood, drew a rating of 1.5 million and 5.1 million viewers. This season’s premiere is also down over 30% in the key demo and about 18% in total viewership compared to last season.
It should be noted, however, that the show will more than likely see a good increase in delayed viewing in the coming days.
