ABC Sets Premiere Dates for The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and More

We may still be in early spring, but ABC wants you to get excited for summer. The network released its summer premiere dates on Wednesday, April 7, confirming that The Bachelorette will launch in June with Bachelor in Paradise returning after a year off in August. If the search for love in mansions or on idyllic Mexican beaches is not your jam, ABC has plenty of other things coming in the months ahead. 

Emergency Call, the show that gives an inside look at the high-stakes job of 911 operators, will also return to the schedule in June. If game shows are more your thing, Celebrity Family Feud, Press Your Luck, and The $100,000 Pyramid are there to get your blood boiling with the competition. As for new series, June will also bring the premiere of The Celebrity Dating Game and When Nature Calls. The latter is a found-footage show that showcases hilarious edited videos of animals doing hilarious things in the wild.
