18 Bachelorettes Reunite for Taylor's Season

Eighteen former stars of The Bachelorette are set to reunite for a special preview episode, "The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose." This special event will air on ABC and stream on Hulu on Sunday, March 15, 2026, exactly one week before the premiere of Taylor's season. Joan Vassos, the inaugural Golden Bachelorette, expressed that filming the preview was an overwhelming yet positive experience, highlighting the unique bond shared among the show's alumni.

Taylor's season is scheduled to officially commence on Sunday, March 22, 2026. The preview special will feature an array of past Bachelorettes, including Trista Sutter from season 1 up to Jenn Tran from season 21. In a notable moment, the former leads posed with Taylor in matching red sweatsuits, a likely nod to the iconic roses.

Among the 18 alums present, only five are currently still with their chosen partners. Several notable former Bachelorettes, such as Jen Schefft and Michelle Young, were absent from the reunion. Taylor, who has expressed a desire to find love and get engaged, previously noted her tendency to fall in love quickly. She was previously married and has two children; she also has a son from a previous relationship. Production for her season concluded in December 2025.
