Tue Mar 25 03:00:00 UTC 2025: **”The Bachelor” Concludes, Leaving “Bachelorette” Future Uncertain**
NEW YORK — As season 29 of “The Bachelor” concludes Monday night with Juliana Pasquarosa and Litia Garr vying for Zach Shallcross’s heart, fans are left wondering about the future of the franchise’s female-led counterpart, “The Bachelorette.” ABC has confirmed that a new season of “The Bachelorette” will not air this summer, marking the first time since 2007 that the show has skipped a cycle.
While ABC hasn’t officially canceled the series, the hiatus’s length remains unclear. Host Jesse Palmer offered reassurance, stating on a podcast that the show will return and be “absolutely tremendous.” The typical announcement of the next Bachelorette, usually coinciding with “The Women Tell All” episode of “The Bachelor,” did not occur. The last season featured the franchise’s first Asian American Bachelorette, Jenn Tran, whose engagement ended abruptly.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to “Bachelor in Paradise,” which ABC has confirmed will return in 2025. The network has yet to announce a premiere date for “Bachelor in Paradise” or reveal the next Bachelor.
