Nearly three years after Chris Harrison departed the “Bachelor” franchise, the former ABC host has accepted a new gig in front of the camera.

Harrison and wife Lauren Zima will host a currently untitled morning talk show for Dr. Phil McGraw’s upcoming Merit Street Media venture, the network announced Wednesday.

Additionally, Harrison will also create and host a planned reality dating show. It will tape at Merit Street’s studios in Dallas-Ft. Worth.

“Dr. Phil Primetime” is set to launch the new cable broadcasting and streaming network on April 2. Harrison will be a regular contributor.

The now-podcast host was the longtime star of “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise” since the original series’ debut in 2002.
