ABC’s recent announcement of its 2025–2026 programming slate has left fans of “The Bachelor” franchise concerned, as the flagship show was notably absent from the renewal list.
“The Bachelor” has not been renewed, and “The Bachelorette” is on hiatus for the summer of 2025.

The absence of “The Bachelor” from ABC’s renewal lineup has raised questions about the future of the long-running reality series. Insiders suggest that declining viewership and competition from newer dating shows may have contributed to the network’s decision. (here)
In contrast, “Bachelor in Paradise” has been renewed for a tenth season, set to premiere on July 7, 2025. The upcoming season will feature a mix of contestants from both “The Golden Bachelor” and “The Golden Bachelorette,” along with alumni from “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” introducing a fresh dynamic to the series.
