ABC has just wrapped up another season of fan-favorite *The Bachelorette* — and without skipping a beat the network premiered a fifth season of franchise spinoff *Bachelor in Paradise*, along with yet another new reality series called *Castaways*. We partnered with [Inscape](http://inscape.tv/?ref=tvrev2beta2.ghost.io), the TV measurement company with glass-level data from a panel of more than 9 million smart TVs and devices, to examine viewership trends with a focus on crossover between the series. We found that:

- of *Bachelor in Paradise* viewers, 79% also watched *The Bachelorette*, while only 30% watched the *Castaways* premiere.
- for those that tuned into *Castaways*, 66% watched *The Bachelorette* and 53% watched *Bachelor in Paradise*.
- of *The Bachelorette* viewers, a mere 9.9% watched *Castaways* while 21% tuned into *Bachelor in Paradise*
