When will The Bachelorette season 14 premiere on ABC? What you need to know
With that, we can offer up what should be a fair estimation as to when the series will be back: Think late May. Typically the series either premieres on or right around Memorial Day, and we don’t anticipate there being all that dramatic of a change here.
The only thing that does complicate the network schedule at the moment is what is a very convoluted schedule for ABC coming up. Typically, the week that follows The Bachelor is the premiere of Dancing with the Stars, but this year American Idol will be taking the place of the show for at least a few weeks. On the other side of that you will get a shortened Dancing with the Stars season featuring athletes only — whether or not this impacts The Bachelorette and when it comes back remains to be seen.
As for who is going to be in the leading role, it’s not official as of this writing but it may as well be — the moment that Arie Luyendyk Jr. broke up with her in the most terrible way imaginable on-camera on The Bachelor Monday night, Becca Kufrin punched her ticket to being the next lead. As long as she wants the job, she’s going to get the job. This is really as simple as that. She’s going to almost assuredly be the lead and give The Bachelorette the best chance that it’s had in years of improving its ratings fortunes. The past few years the show has lagged behind The Bachelor; however, with Arie’s season dropping viewers at times and with the way in which this season is ending, it’s very well possible that things could change this coming season and Becca could be a hit. She’s going to have a lot of people rooting for her virtually from the moment that she arrives at the mansion and starts to meet with some of her guys. Personally, it almost feels as though ABC has to give Becca The Bachelorette in order to properly make up for what they’ve put her through with some of this nonsense.
