Former co-showrunners Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebnerexited The Bachelor in March after accusations of fostering a “toxic” and “hostile” work environment behind the scenes. Both Freeland and Graebner have denied the allegations.

Rumors about The Bachelor’s future spread after a season 30 renewal was not announced at ABC’s upfront presentation in May, but according to Deadline, the search for a new showrunner caused the delay. The upcoming season is still “believed to be targeting its usual midseason window” of January 2026, though a specific premiere date and the season 30 lead have yet to be confirmed.
