Sean Lowe's 'The Bachelor' edition to premiere January 7 on ABC

Sean Lowe's The Bachelor edition now has an official premiere date.


ABC has announced The Bachelor's seventeenth season starring Lowe will premiere Monday, January 7 at 8PM ET/PT.

Lowe, who recently concluded filming his The Bachelor edition, vied for Emily Maynard's affection during the eighth edition of The Bachelorette but finished third in line behind runner-up Arie Luyendyk Jr. and winner Jef Holm.

The network announced Lowe's official participation in late September and has billed the 28-year-old Kansas State graduate as "a successful Dallas businessman and entrepreneur" who has recently committed to "his new enterprise, owning and running an upscale, custom furniture business." 

"A real romantic, [Sean] loves to make a woman feel special and, as a life-long Texan, holds Southern values close to his heart. He wants to propose once, be married once and live a faithful family life, like his parents, who have had a loving 35-year union... Sean also wants a big family and would love to adopt a child, as well as have some of his own," according to ABC.


According to the network, Lowe's hobbies and interests also include wakeboarding, camping, attending concerts, the outdoors, dancing, and enjoying time with his two dogs Lola and Ellie.

The Bachelor is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television and executive produced by Mike Fleiss and Martin Hilton.
