The 25th season of "The Bachelor," featuring that ABC dating competition's first African-American star, will begin on Jan. 4.
The network announced Tuesday that the previously named Matt James, 28, whom the network described as a "real estate broker, entrepreneur and community organization founder," will open with a 2-hour premiere.
