Jennifer Love Hewitt, a star on 9-1-1, came up with the idea for an upcoming episode set at the Bachelor Mansion. This crossover episode was inspired by Hewitt’s love for The Bachelor after attending one of the finales. Showrunner Tim Minear shared that Hewitt thought it would be great if the 118 responders from 9-1-1 had to respond to a call at the Bachelor Mansion.

Bachelor contestant Joey Graziadei also appears in the scene, looking concerned for the contestant.

The Bachelor crew was brought in to shoot the first part of the episode, staying true to The Bachelor’s style. The rest of the contestants in the episode will be played by actors. Palmer and Graziadei will both join the 9-1-1 crew for the episode.
