January tends to bring new seasons of The Bachelor now, and that’s happening in 2025. Yes, The Bachelor season 29 will help to kick off ABC’s winter season.
As Monday Night Football comes to an end on ABC, there is the need for more content to fill the gaps. Well, ABC always has us covered with new seasons of our favorite reality series. We get to watch people fall in love and find “the one” with Bachelor Nation. And yes, The Bachelor started it all.
The Bachelor season 29 premiere date
ABC has set the date for Monday, Jan. 27. The first episode will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
It’s only a two-hour premiere. Sadly, we won’t get to see three hours of our new Bachelor meeting his potential brides. After the two-hour premiere, there’s the first linear showing of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which has been a hit on Hulu.
Who is the lead this season?
Grant Ellis was announced as the lead for the new season. He came fifth in Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette, and was a favorite for many people.
The 30-year-old is a day trader. While he was sweet, he didn’t quite have the right chemistry with Jenn, but we’re happy to see him get another chance at love.
