Secondary to those whose health is being affected by the devastating Coronavirus, Hollywood is also noticeably struggling over the crisis, with basically every new movie delayed, and production for films and TV shows on hold. One example comes from The Bachelor franchise, as filming for the new season of The Bachelorette with Clare Crawley is currently paused. The show was scheduled to begin shooting Friday, March 13, with Warner Bros. Television Group releasing a statement of its postponement that day. Now, Bachelor Nation shows are behind schedule, leaving fans worried they won't get their dose of drama they're used to every year, and some even speculating that Bachelor in Paradise could be cancelled this time around.

Well, potentially good news comes from The Bachelor host Chris Harrison, and it looks like we won't have to fill our time by re-watching Peter Weber's season (Please, don't make me do that!). The TV star took to Twitter this week to ask fans what content they would like to see from Bachelor Nation, writing, "So [producers Rob Mills and Mike Fleiss] and I want to know. If you could see prior seasons what would you want to see? Clare’s season with Juan Pablo? Start at the beginning? Trista’s Bachelorette? Weigh in give us your thoughts."

This led to thousands of replies, with followers posing their ideas for spinoff shows and ways for fans to come together while social distancing and quarantining. My personal favorite? Twitter user @Salbash suggested, "How about just the ones that are still together? We could use some happily ever afters right now." That would be so cute!

A few hours later, Chris hopped back online to promise fans that the producers are "work[ing] together to get through this together," teasing that they're "cooking something up." Exciting!

While ABC obviously can't get people together to film any new content, they could put together some fun compilations of sorts, or make more seasons available to stream. Currently, you can watch most Bachelor Nation content on Amazon Prime Video, but for a price. Other streaming services, such as Netflix and Vudu, have select seasons available, but certainly not enough for a quarantine and chill session. We're counting on Chris Harrison and co. to get us through this!
