Great news Bachelor Nation! While the drama with Taylor Frankie Paul may have derailed her season of The Bachelorette, two other beloved installments are returning. Fans will once again be able to watch eligible singles receive a rose in The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise.
As you may recall, Taylor’s Bachelorette season was shelved amid her involvement in an open domestic violence investigation. Her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, was also named in the investigation. However, Disney is doubling down on the fact that fans are eager to see couples searching for love. And, hopefully, finding it.
The Bachelor Season 30 is on its way
Rob Mills, Disney’s reality boss, announced that The Bachelor Season 30 is returning in 2027. “The Bachelor is almost a perfect format, and it is really powerful. It’s over two decades old, and it’s seen really good days and really bad days,” Rob told Deadline.
“However, The Bachelor comes back next year. It will be done with a lot of thoughtfulness and care. I do think better days are ahead for the franchise,” he added. In addition, Rob is “very hopeful for the next cycle.”
Plus, BIP, the franchise’s sandy installment, is also set to return. Bachelor Nation reported that BIP is returning next summer, with favorites from Bachelor Nation hitting the surf and sand in another attempt to find love. During Season 10 of the franchise, some major tweaks to the format didn’t sit well with fans. A cash prize was introduced for a winning couple, which sort of took the focus off finding romance.
In addition, adding some contestants from The Golden Bachelor franchise helped to amp up the drama. While fans have a bit of a wait until the Bachelor and BIP’s return, the announcement is a welcome one.
The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 are both streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
