The next season of The Bachelorette, season 22 starring Taylor Frankie Paul, is scheduled to premiere in winter 2026. There is no exact premiere date announced yet by ABC, but it is confirmed that the show will not air in 2025 and is expected to take over a time slot typically held by The Bachelor in early 2026. This season is notable for being the first in over 20 years to air during the winter, instead of the usual summer slot, and for having a lead who did not previously appear on The Bachelor.
