Matt James is all set for his debut on The Bachelor Season 25 premiere tonight!

The Bachelor Season 25 starts tonight, and despite the very short hiatus between shows, I think it is safe to say, we’ve all been anxiously anticipating Matt James’ debut as the leading man. Whether it’s his rugged good looks, the insane upgrade of location from The Bachelorette’s La Quinta Resort, or just a new season of drama, there is a lot to look forward to as yet another journey of love begins.

Much like Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams’ season of The Bachelorette, Matt James’ season of The Bachelor was filmed in a quarantined location at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Pennslyvania. If you haven’t seen how ridiculously lavish this resort looks, allow us to enlighten and direct you towards their official Instagram page below.

Bachelor Nation, we are not in Southern California anymore.

As we head into The Bachelor Season 25 premiere tonight, there is plenty to look forward to as we meet Matt and the 32 women competing for his love and attention. Within the premiere, hearts will be broken, eight women will be sent home, and madness will ensue as the reality of it all sinks in.

I for one love the season premieres because everyone is so new to us, and we get to pick out our favorites based solely on their minimal interaction with the lead. Of course, the premiere always points out the overly ambitious women, the women who are riddled with the insecurities of the situation, and then the villains. Oh, how we love the villains.

There’s a lot to look forward to tonight, and as we buckle down with a drink of our choice, take a look at the sneak peek below to see what is in store this season!

To ensure you don’t miss The Bachelor Season 25 premiere tonight, check out the details below on how, when, and where you can watch the episode. And as always, enjoy as we return to Bachelor Mondays!
