RTL cancels "Die Bachelorette" after 8 seasons

After eight seasons, RTL has decided to cancel the dating show "Die Bachelorette". The last season will air in the summer of 2023.

RTL did not give a reason for the cancellation, but it is likely due to declining ratings. The show's audience has been steadily declining in recent years, and the last season was the lowest-rated season in the show's history.

The show was first introduced in Germany in 2014 with season finale watched by 5.5 million viewers. The most successful season was the fourth season in 2017, watched by 4.5 million viewers. Since then, the show's ratings have been in decline.

"Die Bachelorette" is a dating show in which a single woman dates multiple men at the same time. The men live together in a mansion and compete for the woman's affection. The woman eliminates one man each week until she is left with the one she wants to marry.

The show has been a popular success in Germany, but it has also been criticized for being sexist and unrealistic. Critics argue that the show promotes unrealistic expectations about relationships and that it objectifies women.

RTL has not announced what will replace "Die Bachelorette" in its programming lineup.
