Why Didn’t The Bachelorette Season 22 Come Out in 2025?
Disney has not shared the reason why it pushed The Bachelorette back from its previously expected fall 2025 air date. However, season 21 star Jenn Tran had a theory about the show’s delay.
“The Bachelorette does usually air in the summer when people are traveling — I heard that it doesn’t do as well as The Bachelor,” she told People in February 2025. “So, maybe it’ll give a chance for the next Bachelorette to air at a time where there’s more visibility. That would be nice.”
