ABC Renews Bachelor Season 30 With New Showrunner Amid Franchise Shakeup

News summary

ABC has officially renewed The Bachelor for its milestone 30th season, with Scott Teti stepping in as the new showrunner and executive producer. Teti, who currently leads Bachelor in Paradise, replaces Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner, who departed amid allegations of fostering a toxic work environment, which they have denied. The renewal comes after a delayed announcement and uncertainty about the franchise's future, especially following a skipped 2025 season of The Bachelorette and a 25% ratings drop for the most recent Bachelor season. No lead or premiere date has been announced yet, but the show is expected to return in its usual midseason window in early 2026. Despite setbacks, including the recent breakup of season 29's couple Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa, the franchise is moving forward with significant leadership changes. Fans remain eager for updates on the next star and the fate of other Bachelor Nation spinoffs.
