Taylor Frankie Paul is ready to hand out roses to her suitors on season 22 of “The Bachelorette.” However, fans will have to wait until March to see all the drama.
“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star confirmed the new season’s premiere date in a promotional video for “The Bachelorette,” where she answered some burning questions about her Bachelor Nation gig.
At the start of an Instagram video posted earlier Tuesday, Paul once again confirmed that she is ABC’s next Bachelorette.
According to Paul, another common question from fans was: “Will there be only Mormons this season?” ” To which the reality TV star replied, “No lol,” alongside the crying emoji.
However, the video’s biggest reveal came when Paul announced the new season’s premiere date: March 22, 2026.
“It’s a date 💋,” ABC wrote in the caption on Instagram. “#TheBachelorette premieres Sunday, March 22 on ABC. Stream on Hulu.”
This update comes more than a month after Paul’s casting for “The Bachelorette” was announced on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
While Paul previously joked on her TikTok account that she wanted to be the leading lady on “The Bachelorette,” she told Cooper that it was an “unattainable” dream for her — or so she thought.
“And then I heard we were talking and we had a meeting,” she recalled on the podcast. “And I still didn’t believe it until I got the invitation that said, ‘Do you want to be our Bachelorette?'”
Paul – who is a single mother of three – was initially hesitant to accept the role, but ultimately decided to pursue it after careful consideration.
Although Season 22 of “The Bachelorette” won’t arrive until March, fans will see plenty of Paul in Season 3 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which arrives on Hulu on Nov. 13.
