ABC announced today that The Bachelorette will be coming back for a 22nd season in 2026. It has been a full year since the dating series last aired, meaning for the first time since 2008, the show is skipping a year in between seasons as the network reevaluates the positioning for the multiple ongoing entries in the franchise.

Taylor Frankie Paul, from Hulu's 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' has been announced as the next Bachelorette. The 31-year-old Utah native will be the first Bachelorette in show history who has not already been a part of the franchise.
