Season chronology | |
Recchia and Windey were the co-runners-up on the 26th season of The Bachelor featuring Clayton Echard.
This will be the third American edition of The Bachelorette to feature two leads following the eleventh and sixteenth seasons; however, unlike those seasons, this will be the first American Bachelorette season to have both Bachelorettes co-lead the entire season. This has already occurred with the first season of The Bachelorette New Zealand featuring Lesina Nakhid-Schuster and Lily McManus, and the sixth season of The Bachelorette Australia featuring sisters Becky and Elly Miles.[3]
Production
Casting and contestants
On March 15, 2022, Recchia and Windey were announced as the Bachelorettes by Jesse Palmer during the After the Final Rose special of the 26th season of The Bachelor.[3]
Just like The Bachelor season 26, all contestants and crew members were required to be fully vaccinated from COVID-19 and a present vaccination passport to participate.
Filming and development
Former Bachelor Jesse Palmer is set to become the permanent host for the series, replacing interim hosts Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe.[4] This will be the first time since season fifteen to return to a traditional production format including the famous the Villa de la Vina mansion, known as The Bachelor Mansion, after the previous season took place mostly in the United States with limited travel, and the preceding two seasons prior to the last season were filmed in a bio-secure bubble zone due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Filming began on March 26, 2022 at The Bachelor Mansion.
Contestants
35 potential contestants were revealed on March 23, 2022.[6]
