Taylor Frankie Paul Takes Over as Bachelorette Starting Tonight
After the Oscars conclude, ABC and Hulu premiere “The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose” at 10:30 PM ET tonight. This special preview features 18 former Bachelorette leads reacting to and mentoring 31-year-old Taylor Frankie Paul, the star of Hulu’s hit “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
Taylor brings a refreshingly different energy to the role. She’s single, a mom of three, and known for her direct, unapologetic personality. The Bachelorette Season 22 full premiere follows on Sunday, March 22 at 8 PM ET/PT on ABC. The season features 22 men, including a Paralympian, a former pro baseball player, and several single fathers competing for her heart.
New episodes drop weekly on ABC, with next-day streaming on Hulu. This promises to be one of the most dramatic seasons yet, with the preview special hinting at chaos, temptation, and unexpected twists from day one.

Why This Weekend Matters for Disney Plus Subscribers
Disney is making major moves to dominate entertainment this March. Live Oscars coverage brings prestige and millions of viewers who might not have subscribed before.

Disney Plus content drops across comedy, action, reality, and prestige categories, ensuring something for everyone in one streaming home.
Existing subscribers get all three events. New subscribers jumping in for the Oscars will discover Hulu‘s reality shows and Disney Plus‘s Marvel catalog waiting. The bundle pricing at $4.99/month for three months makes the decision easy, especially for event watchers.
