If you’re a fan of The Bachelor franchise, the latest idea for a new show will definitely catch your interest—a dating reality show for seniors.

In Monday’s episode of the show, a card during one of the commercials read “NOW CASTING SENIORS LOOKING FOR LOVE,” directing fans to ABC’s casting page. The card was then tweeted by ABC’s head of alternative programming Rob Mills with a note to Bachelor fans, “#Bachelornation, give us your Grumpiest Old Men, give us your Goldenest Girls. #TheBachelor.”

Mills later wrote that the show would feature men and women 65 or older. 

On ABC’s casting site the notice reads, “Now casting Seniors Looking for Love! Are you entering your golden years and looking for romance? The Producers of The Bachelor are looking for active and outgoing single men and women IN THEIR GOLDEN YEARS for a new exciting dating show!”

The new show hasn’t been ordered yet as it’s still in the exploratory stages. If ordered, the show will join The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart, which hasn’t premiered yet.
