Sure, it's The Bachelorette season—but if, for some reason, you are sick of Chad and miss the days of Ben Higgins on your screen, you're in luck.

The Bachelor's season 20 star and the winner, Lauren Bushnell, will document their lives as a couple and their wedding planning experiences in a new reality television show.

The spinoff, called Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After, will debut this October on the Freeform channel, formerly known as ABC Family.

Higgins proposed to Bushnell during the season finale just four months ago but it seems like they are eager to jump right back into the spotlight. 

"We’re already used to sharing our lives with everyone else," Bushnell told Us Weekly, "so we thought, Why not? It's a fun way to share life after The Bachelor."

"He’s like, 'Why do we need a new couch? We have a couch!," Bushnell continued. "So that’s been a point of contention."

We can't wait to see what couch they pick out.
