Prepare the roses. The 27th season of ABC’s popular reality dating program promises more drama (and perhaps more tears) than ever. Zach Shallcross is the one looking for love this time. Among the 30 women chosen to join him this season, the former participant on The Bachelorette season 19 hopes to discover his future wife.
There is a unique surprise this season that might have an effect on Zach’s future. When he was introduced as the next bachelor on That Bachelorette: After the Final Rose, he had already met a handful of the women. In addition to meeting them, one of the women received America’s First Impression Rose Award, which spares her from the first week’s eliminations. Here is everything we know about The Bachelor Season 27.
The Release Date of The Bachelor Season 27
We’re getting close to The Bachelor Season 27’s premiere, so get the wine glasses ready. The reality dating program will release on ABC on Monday, January 23, 2023, at 8:00 EST.
Who is the New Bachelor?
This season’s guy of the hour is someone familiar to The Bachelor Nation. Zach Shallcross, aka Mr. Right Reasons, made his debut on season 19 of The Bachelorette. Zach Shallcross, a 26-year-old software executive, resides in Austin, Texas.
The Bachelorette season 19, featured Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey as the leads for the first time ever. Zach won the first date card. He made it to the final three and connected well with Rachel, but after a difficult date in the fantasy suite, he eliminated himself.
