March 2 (UPI) -- Bachelor Nation is expanding beyond its traditional dating format this month, beginning with the premiere of HGTV's Bachelor Mansion Takeover on Monday night and continuing with a primetime reunion special following the Oscars ahead of the next season of The Bachelorette.
In Bachelor Mansion Takeover, past Bachelor Nation contestants return to the site of the iconic reality television series to give the space a makeover.
The bunk rooms, rose room, mixer room, terrace, kitchen and pool area will each be getting a refresh, a press release states.
Tayisha Adams and Tyler Cameron will judge the contestants' work as each player vies for a $100.000 prize.
"For the first time ever, we're pulling back the curtain and revealing the mansion as you've never seen it before. Our 12 contestants have already lived through the twists and turns of The Bachelor franchise. They know this is not going to be easy. And the clock is ticking because this renovation has to be finished before a new season of The Bachelorette begins," host Jesse Palmer said in a statement.
