But the delay was due to the search for a new showrunner, Deadline says, and the new season “is believed to be targeting its usual midseason window” of January. A specific premiere date —and a star —will be announced at a later date.
Bachelor Nation has seen some major shake-ups lately: In February, it was reported thatThe Bachelorettewould skip the summer seasonfor the first time since 2007 (not counting 2020, when COVID delayed it until the fall). Plus, the most recent season ofThe Bachelor—with Grant Ellis handing out the roses — was down 25% in the ratings versus 2024, averaging 3.3 million total viewers and a0.6 demo rating (with Live+7 playback). That 0.6 demo rating, though, only trailed Dancing With the Stars, Survivor and The Amazing Race among all reality/game shows that aired on broadcast TV this past season.(Grant’s engagement to Juliana, alas, fizzled out after just three months.)
