The unfortunate detail fans have spotted in The Bachelor promo

The new Bachelor promo has dropped and it looks like this year’s bachie Matthew Agnew has had a major glow up.

That isn’t however, what has fans talking about the new sneak peak at what’s to come.

The promo shows Matt blasting through the air leaving rose petals fluttering down to the ground in his wake, before landing Iron-Man-like on a deserted street.

A crowd of silent women dressed all in red appear slowly, walking around the astrophysicist hunk.

Passing ‘under his eye’ you might say.

Yep, it gets a little weird from here.

Does this look eerily and uncomfortably familiar to anyone?

As one Facebook user pointed out it looks a hell of a lot like The Handmaid’s Tale, not a comparison any dating show is holding their breath for.

The unfortunate resemblance was pointed out by several facebook users.

While other’s gushed over the Bachelor’s Superman-like transformation from his original Clark Kent promo shot, some noted that it looked like a ‘blessed day’ on the Bachelor set.

“The red dresses have a handmaids tale vibe to them (sic,” one user pointed out. “How interesting.”

“Ok it can't be just me feeling a few blessed be the fruit vibes with the en masse red dresses,” another commented.

“First thing I thought too,” another user concurred. “Blessed be the fruit.”

“Thankyou!! Agreed,” wrote another.

Not an ideal comparison

The HBO series dives into a dystopian future in which women are commodified for their fertility in a world ravaged by mass infertility.

These are the titular ‘handmaids’ - women who are effectively enslaved as baby-makers and forced to dress in red.

They are passed from household to household until they have a baby, so the plethora of red dresses on a city street is an understandably uncomfortable sight.

The series explores themes of female subjugation, male dominance, and a tyrannical regime, none of which are thoughts The Bachelor is likely hoping to spark in its viewers, as it’s eagle-eyed fans pointed out.

It’s not the first time the series has made its presence felt beyond the silver screen.

Recently Kylie Jenner was criticised for hosting a Handmaid’s Tale themed birthday party which saw the guests dress up as the aforementioned handmaids.

Fans were upset by what they perceived as the star making light of a series that sometimes seems dangerously close to the reality of many women in today’s world.
