We now know how Matt James‘ televised journey to finding love concluded, and now fans are all waiting for any news they can get about The Bachelorette season 17. Unfortunately, although The Bachelor season 25 did end on a happy note, what went down in real-time while the show was airing was less than pleasant. In case you missed it, photos of contestant Rachael Kirkconnell came out as she starred on Matt’s season, featuring her at an Antebellum party in 2018. Other accusations were also made about her racially insensitive behavior, including screenshots of her liking offensive posts.
Matt ended up choosing Rachael at the end of
, which was hard for fans to watch as we knew about all the controversy. As we learned during the
After the Final Rose
special last week, Matt and Rachael are no longer dating. The pair split after all the controversy came out, which was obviously extremely hard for both parties.
As we all wait for the next installment of the ABC franchise, many bullies are cruelly attacking
online for his choice to break up with Rachael Kirkconnell, which is absolutely ridiculous. He doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s getting whatsoever.
The Bachelor season 25 was all in all a mess, and we just hope Matt can move on from his experience and heal.
Katie Thurston is set to become the next Bachelorette, and in a twist move, we’ll be getting two seasons of The Bachelorette this year. Michelle Young will then lead her own season in the fall. So now that you’re all caught up on what’s going on in the franchise, let’s get to the real question here. Are new episodes continuing next week?
Is The Bachelor new tomorrow?
As we look ahead to the upcoming week, unfortunately we shouldn’t count The Bachelor as part of our Monday night plans. Since The Bachelor season 25 officially wrapped up last week on March 15, we will not see a new episode tomorrow, March 22.
According to ABC’s schedule, American Idol will play in the 8:00 p.m. EST slot tomorrow night, and The Good Doctor will air after that at 10:00 p.m. EST.
The Bachelorette season 17 release date
The Bachelorette season 17 does not have a confirmed release date yet, but we will let you know when it’s announced!
