The "Bachelor" mansion is getting the HGTV treatment.
The luxurious backdrop to more than 40 seasons of ABC's "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" is getting a facelift, courtesy of some of the lovestruck hopefuls who have stayed in its bedazzled halls. Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of "Bachelor" producer Warner Bros. Unscripted Television and home renovation network HGTV, announced a new series on May 14: "Renovating the Bachelor Mansion" (working title).
The new unscripted show will see former "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants, who (hopefully) have skills in interior design and home renovation, returning to compete in design challenges on the property in hopes of winning a cash prize. The new series is set for 2026 on HGTV and the newly redubbed HBO Max.
The famed "Bachelor" mansion is located in Aurora Hills, CA, and is a sprawling, Mediterranean-style villa that has previously been rented out on Airbnb for $6000 a night. It has been the setting for catfights, first kisses, group dates, breakups and countless rose ceremonies since the reality dating franchise began in 2002. It might look a little different in future seasons after the former bachelors and bachelorettes get their hands, and sledgehammers, on it.
The new series was announced at WBD's 2025 upfront presentation in New York, an annual event in which networks and streaming services show off upcoming content to advertisers in the hopes of selling commercial time. Other new series were announced at the event, including toe-tapping Shark Week addition "Dancing With Sharks" (working title) for Discovery Channel, "Guy's Flavortown Games" on Food Network featuring Guy Fieri and a new "90 Day Fiancé" spinoff on TLC, "90 Day: Hunt For Love."

Peyton Manning hit a house with his tee shot, and Scottie Scheffler couldn't stop from laughing
Peyton Manning has endeared himself to fans across sports and pop culture with his willingness to make fun of himself and not take himself too seriously. But the Hall of Fame quarterback also shows his fallibility in unscripted moments, as demonstrated by a tee shot he took while playing in the Memorial Tournament pro-am in Dublin, Ohio. Anyone would probably look bad while paired with Scottie Scheffler, ranked No. 1 in the world and the recent PGA Championship winner. Even someone who's won two Super Bowl championships and five NFL MVP awards. Advertisement Playing with Scheffler on Wednesday, Manning showed that he's probably still very good at football but maybe not so much at golf. Or perhaps he was intimidated by the two-time Masters champion standing behind him as he teed off. Regardless of the reason, Manning knew immediately after swinging that his shot was in trouble, yelling "fore" a couple of times before we hear why he was justifiably concerned. The next sound heard on the video recorded is of Manning's ball hitting a house — loudly. Maybe it was the siding of the house that made such a resonant sound, but it sounded as if something had exploded. Without knowing exactly what the result was, it was enough to make Scheffler bend over in laughter. He acknowledged the huge noise by saying, "Good morning, sir," then added, "That's too much." Advertisement Maybe Scheffler just knew that Manning was embarrassed by hitting a house. Try to avoid hitting that rather large structure to the side of the fairway. Or perhaps Manning did actually cause some notable damage, which is why he began slowly stepping backward, as if he was Homer Simpson backing into the bushes in that famous meme. No word on whether any of the other celebrities playing in the pro-am — including Steph Curry, Nick Saban, Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Day and Luke Bryan — also launched golf balls into nearby houses. Or perhaps they just didn't have anyone nearby recording video when they teed off. Advertisement Yet it may not have been nearly as funny if those guys had shanked an embarrassing shot, especially without the best golfer in the world in the background laughing at the result. None of those celebrities probably would have been taunted by their younger brothers on social media. Eli Manning wasn't going to let such an opportunity go by without comment. "I'm so proud," Eli said, likely echoing the sentiments of many who watched that video. TNT has not scheduled a 2025 edition of "The Match," but Manning and Scheffler created an excellent preview for the exhibition if organizers decide to move forward with an event.
