ABC Sets 2027 Return for The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise

Executives signal a careful relaunch following a shelved Bachelorette season.

Overview

  • Rob Mills, Disney’s unscripted chief, said Wednesday the flagship will air in 2027 with Bachelor in Paradise slated for next summer.
  • He said Taylor Frankie Paul’s filmed Bachelorette season remains shelved and undecided, with no talks to license it elsewhere.
  • Salt Lake County prosecutors declined to file new charges this month, and Hulu cleared The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to resume production.
  • ABC pulled the Bachelorette season days before its planned March 22 premiere after a leaked 2023 incident video surfaced, as Draper and West Jordan police reviewed related claims.
  • Reports say contestants from the unaired season remain under contract for a year, and some could be considered for Paradise as ABC rebuilds under new Bachelor showrunner Scott Teti.
