The Bachelor Renewed for Season 30

Bachelor Nation is in for a whole lot more rose ceremonies.

The Bachelor is set to return for a milestone 30th season during the 2025-2026 broadcast season, according to multiple outlets.

While the show’s new romantic lead has not yet been revealed, the ABC dating series is in for a big change behind the scenes. Scott Teti, who served as showrunner and executive producer on the upcoming tenth season of Bachelor In Paradise, will take on the same duties on the franchise’s flagship show.

Teti—whose reality TV credits include Summer House, Claim to Fame and Flavor of Love—takes over the top job from Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner, who departed as showrunners in March after Deadline published allegations of a “toxic” and “hostile” workplace culture earlier this year. Both have denied the accusations.

The behind-the-scenes shakeup isn’t the only change the franchise has encountered this year. In February, E! News confirmed that The Bachelorette would not return for its 22nd season in its usual mid-year timeslot, which will instead be occupied by BIP.

But viewers can expect an exciting new twist on the summer series, as the new season of Paradise—premiering July 7 on ABC—will feature fan favorites from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette for the first time ever, joining familiar faces from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

“The Goldens are hitting the beaches of Bachelor in Paradise,” ABC said in a June 16 press release, “proving that age is just a number as they bring their experience and a little extra spice to show the younger crowd how it’s done.”
