"The Bachelorette" Announces Cast for Season 22 Featuring Taylor Frankie Paul

The upcoming season of "The Bachelorette" will feature Taylor Frankie Paul, the 31-year-old star of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," as she searches for love. The announcement was made last fall, with Paul expressing her excitement about the experience, as she has not had the opportunity to date multiple people at once. Paul is a single mother of three and a prominent figure in the #MomTok community, which gained popularity on TikTok and led to the creation of the Hulu series.

Twenty-two men will compete for Paul's heart during the 22nd season of the show. The contestants represent a diverse range of professions and backgrounds. The men include product managers, entrepreneurs, a cowboy, a loan officer, engineers, business owners, a singer/songwriter, a startup founder, an ocean lifeguard, a former pro baseball player, sales managers, physical therapists, tech professionals, a creative director, a real estate broker, a chiropractic healer, a brand protection manager, a photographer, entrepreneurs, an account executive, a private wealth planner, and a pro athlete.

The new season of "The Bachelorette" is scheduled to premiere on ABC on March 22, 2026, and will be available for streaming the following day on Hulu. Both ABC and Hulu are owned by Disney.

BNN's Perspective:

The selection of Taylor Frankie Paul as "The Bachelorette" is an interesting choice, given her background and the popularity of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." While the show's format is often criticized for its manufactured drama, it can also provide a platform for individuals to find genuine connections. It will be interesting to see how Paul navigates this new experience and whether she finds lasting love.
