The next season of "The Bachelorette," Season 22, will premiere in early 2026. The lead for this season is Taylor Frankie Paul, star of Hulu's "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." ABC announced that the show is paused for 2025 and will return the following year, effectively replacing the usual airing slot of "The Bachelor" in early 2026. An exact premiere date has not yet been announced.
