What better way to start the new year than with another man looking for love on season 21 of The Bachelor?

The old adage about trying again if at first you don’t succeed is alive and well on the new season of The Bachelor.

That’s nothing new, as the featured man has often been someone who has appeared on other iterations of ABC’s long-running Bachelor franchise. But Nick Viall, the guy at the center of season 21, has been especially snakebitten when it comes to finding true love.

Viall has twice been runner-up on The Bachelorette (in seasons 10 and 11 of that show), coming so close and yet so far. And he appeared on Bachelor in Paradise without making a lasting match as well.

Still, there will be a full roster of women hoping to change Viall’s luck, and this time the 36-year old might finally break through. Or we could be talking about him again and he can just become a regular employee of ABC.

Either way, here’s the info you need to watch the season 21 premiere of The Bachelor live on TV or online:

Date: Monday, January 2
Start Time: 8 p.m. ET
Episode: “Week 1”
TV Channel: ABC
Live Stream: Stream 1 | Stream 2

Since people obviously still love The Bachelor concept and a redemption story is always a winner, season 21 should be a popular one.
