The Bachelorette will run this summer without interference from its undermining, fictionalized counterpart UnReal, which has been delayed until 2018.
UnReal aired its first two seasons in the summer at the same time as The Bachelorette, but this year The Bachelorette’s premiere came and went without a word from UnReal until now.
Season 3 will bring back stars Appleby and Zimmer as well as newbie Caitlin FitzGerald, who will play the female suitor.
UnReal has been plagued by behind-the-scenes drama throughout its run; it has had three showrunners in three seasons.
