The Bachelor has been renewed by ABC for Season 29
By Ariba Bhuvad
There are many more roses left to give! Well, at least that is how ABC feels since they have renewed The Bachelor for Season 29 as of today.
Does this come as a surprise? Not really, but it is still exciting to know that the franchise is keeping strong as it enters the 29th season of its flagship show.
When will The Bachelor Season 29 premiere? And, who is the next Bachelor?
As of right now, there is no premiere date, but if they are to follow the trend of past seasons, it is typically in the winter months (circa January). In addition to not having a premiere date, we do not know who the next Bachelor is. That is usually revealed at the end of the next Bachelorette season, which will air later this summer in July, featuring Jenn Tran as the leading lady.
Currently, Jenny's season of The Bachelorette is in production, and it may very well be that one of the contestants from her season could be the lead of The Bachelor Season 29. Keep your eyes peeled, folks!
As we look ahead to the coming months, we are expecting Jenn's season of The Bachelorette, hopefully followed by a new season of Bachelor in Paradise. There hasn't been much update on that front which makes me wonder if The Golden Bachelorette's premiere season will take the place of Paradise.
I certainly hope that is not the case, but with The Bachelorette airing in July and likely not ending until September, there is little wiggle room for placing Paradise in there somewhere. Unless, of course, both shows will air at the same which is what they did last year.
Fingers crossed we still get the much-needed dose of Paradise!
It's going to be a fun rest of the year for and with the Bachelor franchise, and I know we are looking forward to the return of drama, chaos, and hopefully, a romantic love story.
