ABC agreed that the gentleman-farmer could use the show to look for love and try to lure women to live with him in Iowa. Now comes an early glimpse of the farmer reaping what he’s sown. In the promo, Soules gets in touch with his inner Kevin Costner and wanders through a green cornfield. He is soon joined by dozens of disembodied voices of the eager young women more than happy to elbow each other out of the way in the hopes of planting themselves in Iowa on the arm of a charming farmer. The result is more _Children of the Corn_ than _Field of Dreams_, but one thing is for sure, this season of _The Bachelor_ will bring a bumper crop of corn. The new season of _The Bachelor_ premieres on ABC on Monday, Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. ET. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3575932/chris-soules-new-bachelor-promo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3575932/chris-soules-new-bachelor-promo/"},"headline":"Chris Soules Finds His Field of Dreams in the New Bachelor Promo","datePublished":"2014-11-10T20:32:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:29.396Z","description":"It's corny alright.","url":"https://time.com/3575932/chris-soules-new-bachelor-promo/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","The Bachelor","abc","Chris Soules"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3575932/chris-soules-new-bachelor-promo/","name":"Chris Soules Finds His Field of Dreams in the New Bachelor Promo"}}]}] ```
