ABC Sets New Dating Series from The Bachelor Creator

From The Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss comes the all-new dating series The Proposal, which is set to premiere this summer in the U.S. on ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

The series will be hosted by former NFL quarterback and season five bachelor Jesse Palmer. Each one-hour episode will feature ten eligible daters competing in four pageant-style rounds to win the heart of a mystery suitor or “suitress,” whose identity is concealed from them. After each phase, the daters who fail to connect with the mystery suitor are whittled down, leading to the reveal, when the two remaining daters finally meet the mystery suitor for the first time and present a romantic proposal of their choice.

The Proposal is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Unscripted & Alternative Television. Fleiss, Martin Hilton, James Breen and Jason Ehrlich serve as executive producers.
