Looks like the proposed March air date of S37 got right. Spring doesn't usually start till mid-March. As for S38 that I mentioned a few months ago, casting is already open that had begun nearly three weeks ago, filming will be in the entire month of March shortly after the premiere of S37.

By the way, filming of this season begins tonight. There are two public dates scheduled for 20 and 21 according to Bachelor Nation website. https://bachelornation.com/pages/bachelor-nation-join-grant-on-his-journey/

DWTS has moved to Tuesdays, I think The Bachelor will move to Tuesdays for the proposed premiere date of January 7, 2025 after 20 years stayed on Mondays to avoid football matches.

From RS: Devin and Jenn have broke-up post-filming. Devin is the F1, Marcus finishes in 2nd place.

I think Grant's season of The Bachelor will begin around mid-September and will be finished before American Thanksgiving, which the Thanksgiving will be November 28. Example: filming of Grant's season may begin on September 20 and will end in mid-November right before the aforementioned Thanksgiving. Clayton and Zach's seasons started late September and both ended on November 21st. Clayton's season ended filming one day short. Should be said there will be two and a half weeks to go until beginning the filming of Grant's season.

TAR was renewed for Season 37 and will air midseason (likely early March around spring). Filming had taken place a few months ago. Season 38 applications remain open (first advertised during the airing of Season 36 earlier this year) and is expected to close at the end of September. Casting for S38 will begin in late October and filming will take place in late January after the 47th American President will be taking office. As for Season 39, I don't know but could be likely around 2025 or 2026 that TAR has become a once a year in the TV season.

Here's the correct location spoilers: START: Los Angeles, California 🇺🇸 Leg 1: Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China 🇭🇰 Leg 2: Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵 Leg 3: Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵 Leg 4: Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia 🇮🇩 Leg 5: Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩 Leg 6: Malé, Maldives 🇲🇻 Leg 7: Bucharest, Romania 🇷🇴 Leg 8: Sofia, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Leg 9: Naples, Italy 🇮🇹 Leg 10: Strasbourg, France 🇫🇷 via Frankfurt, Germany Leg 11: Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹 Leg 12: Miami, Florida 🇺🇸 This will be the first time since season 31 to have 10 countries in the Race, and the first time since season 32 to also have a single location visiting every leg.

It turns out I got it right. Survivor 47 will be a 2-hour premiere on the first episode and will be in a regular 90-minute episode the following week. https://deadline.com/2024/07/cbs-fall-premiere-dates-2024-1236008913/

Off Topic ABC has just announced the 2024 fall schedule, I think The Amazing Race 37 may premiere early in October from the initial spring 2025 premiere date alongside Survivor 47 as The Summit will be bumped to Paramount+ on Saturdays if viewership fails.
