A new season of The Bachelorette, starring Taylor Frankie Paul, is set to air on March 22 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Ahead of the new season, ABC will premiere a TV special with 18 previous Bachelorettes.

The new special will premiere right after the live telecast of the 2026 Oscars.

Bachelor Nation, it’s time to pay attention to this shocking piece of news.

With a new season of The Bachelorette set to air on Sunday, March 22 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, folks are more than ready to see The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul take a chance at finding love. But it looks like she may not be alone on her journey for romance, based on what the show’s official Instagram announced on February 4.

Sharing a photo of Taylor dressed in a red sweatsuit, ABC revealed she will be participating in a reunion with 18 other Bachelorettes from previous seasons. The group’s moment together was taped for an official TV special (titled The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose). The program will air right after the 2026 Oscars on ABC on March 15, 2026.

“Consider this our first date,” the caption read. “Watch The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose, a special preview of Taylor's season following the live telecast of The Oscars March 15 🌹.”

When news of the latest Bachelorette special began circulating on the internet, it didn’t take long for Taylor and some of her fellow Bachelorettes to react with excitement.

“The girls all together ❤️,” Taylor wrote in the comments. “What a fun day!!! Can we do it again?!?! ☺️,” Ali Fedotowsky-Manno (who appeared on season 6) requested. “Woohoo!! ❤️❤️,” Hannah Brown-Woolard (who appeared on season 15) added.

Fans were equally elated by the prospect of all the Bachelorettes finally meeting up in real-life.

“Amazing Queens all of them! ❤️,” one person exclaimed. “My entire childhood in one photo 😭❤️,” another cried. “All these girls in one room wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card,” a different follower commented.

According to a report from ABC, Conan O’Brien will host an event featuring the Bachelorettes taking a walk down TV memory lane. As viewers get reacquainted with Trista Sutter, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Tayshia Adams, Joan Vassos (a.k.a. the Golden Bachelorette), and more, they will “share juicy behind-the-scenes stories, and offer heartfelt advice to the franchise's newest leading lady.”

Well, we know what we’re doing after the Oscars!
