ABC has announced it's launching Bachelor Live, a new live one-hour talk show that will air at 10PM ET/PT immediately following two-hour broadcasts of The Bachelor on Monday nights.

Beginning on Monday, January 4 -- right after The Bachelor's twentieth season starring Ben Higgins premieres -- Chris Harrison will host Bachelor Live during which he'll discuss and dissect the show and be joined by cast members and celebrity fans.

Harrison will additionally present questions and comments from home viewers, deleted scenes, humorous outtakes, and topic points suggested by people on Twitter via #BachelorNation.

The Bachelor aftershow will air for five consecutive weeks on the network, similar to the same format used for the second season of Bachelor in Paradise this past summer. After each Bachelor in Paradise episode, Harrison hosted a live one-hour After Paradise special. Harrison later revealed the aftershow was hugely popular and a bit hit for ABC.

Bachelor Live will be produced by Embassy Row and Next Entertainment with Mike Fleiss, Michael Davies, Jen Patton and Elan Gale serving as executive producers.
