In May 2020, HBO Max launched its new streaming service, and it has plenty of great shows and movies available to watch whenever. Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and Adventure Time are among the popular series that you can stream on HBO Max.
HBO Max may be curating a great library of scripted content, but it also has a very strong collection of reality TV programming. Among these great shows are The Bachelor and some of its many spin-off series. If you find yourself now an HBO Max subscriber, and you love reality shows, then here are a few great ones to check out.
The Bachelor
HBO only currently has The Bachelor seasons 20, 21 and 23 available of the USA series, but it has a few international versions and several spin-offs also available for viewing. The Bachelor Australia, New Zealand, U.K., and Canada are among the other versions that you can watch on HBO Max. The Bachelorette also has a few seasons of the American one available along with some international versions. The spin-off series available are Bachelor in Paradise and Bachelor Pad, and a few of their international versions.
HBO Max having past Bachelor series available should help the wait for Clare Crawley’s season.
Supernanny
Supernanny is a reality series that began in the U.K. in 2004. It then received an American version, also hosted by Jo Frost, that aired on ABC and then Lifetime network. Nanny Jo Frost would help parents with their misbehaving children. She gave the families a much-needed family dynamic revamping.

It’s a fun series if you’re looking for some HBO Max content that can be enjoyed by the whole family, or if you just want some wholesome reality TV to binge.
The Bachelor collection may be the most tempting of the HBO Max reality TV selections, but there is plenty of other great reality TV to give a chance.
