Naturally, the television industry is always looking for ways to capitalize on current pop culture trends. With The Hunger Games rising very quickly in the sphere, it should come as no surprise that The CW (home to The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle) have picked up a show described as “The Hunger Games meets The Bachelor.”
For those of you who don’t know, The Bachelor is a reality show on ABC where a batch of girls compete to win the heart of one man (“The Bachelor”) over a period of several weeks. Each week there are various dates and competitions to get the Bachelor’s attention.
Entertainment Weekly reports:
The Selection
Based on the forthcoming series of books by Kiera Cass, The Selection is an epic romance set 300 years in the future which centers on a poor young woman who is chosen by lottery to participate in a competition to become the next queen of a war-torn nation at a crossroads.
EW’s insider is the one who described the show as Hunger Games meets Bachelor. We’ll wait to see the show ourselves before making any judgement.
