The Bachelor is still in the process of filming Season 24 with Peter reportedly in his final round of dates with his remaining two bachelorettes in Australia.
Season 24 of The Bachelor began filming on September 20 at the show's usual Malibu mansion in California.
Peter was officially announced as The Bachelor's next star on the reunion for Bachelor in Paradise's sixth season days before filming began, however ABC actually released the names and photos of the season's bachelorettes before Peter was formally announced.
"I feel so grateful right now just to have this opportunity in front of me. I feel emotional right now, man. This is crazy; this is life changing!" Peter told The Bachelor host Chris Harrison in front of a screaming audience at the time.

Peter finished Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette in third place earlier this year. Peter fell in love with Hannah and was blindsided by his rejection.
The pair, however, were able to enjoy a good laugh once the season ended because Hannah revealed she had slept with Peter four times in a windmill during their overnight Fantasy Suite date.

Peter apparently had no hard feelings toward Hannah.
Hannah accepting a marriage proposal from aspiring country singer Jed Wyatt during The Bachelorette's Season 15 finale, but she broke off their engagement five weeks later because she caught Jed lying about what his relationship status had been prior to his appearance on the show.
Hannah is now competing on Season 28 of Dancing with the Stars with her professional partner Alan Bersten.
