Is ‘The Bachelorette’ Renewed For Season 16? – Yes! On 5 August 2019, the series renewed for a sixteenth season!

The Bachelorette is an American reality television dating game show. It debuted on ABC on 8 January 2003. The show is a spin-off of The Bachelor, which airs on the same network. The first season featured Trista Rehn, the runner-up from the first season of The Bachelor, offering the opportunity for Rehn to choose a husband among 25 bachelors. The 2004 season of The Bachelorette again took a runner-up from the previous season of The Bachelor. After last airing on 28 February 2005, the series returned to ABC during the spring of 2008, following an absence of three years.

What is ‘The Bachelorette’ about?

All of the rules are same from the rules of The Bachelor—its parent show. As the name implies, the series revolves around a single bachelorette, usually a former contestant from the previous Bachelor season, and a pool of romantic interests (typically 25; 30 in season 5) which could include a potential husband for the bachelorette; it is essentially a gender-reversed version of the parent show. The show starts with the bachelorette standing in front of the mansion and greeting each male contestant individually, as they make an entrance to the bachelorette. After each rose ceremony, at least one contestant does not receive a rose and goes home; therefore, the pool of contenders gets smaller, and eventually leaves the bachelorette to decide between two contestants in the final rose ceremony.

For the final selection, one of two male suitors proposes to the bachelorette. Unlike its parent show, all fifteen seasons of The Bachelorette have ended with a proposal which the bachelorette either accepted or declined. Trista Rehn’s marriage to Ryan Sutter, Ashley Hebert’s marriage to JP Rosenbaum, Desiree Hartsock’s marriage to Chris Siegfried, and Rachel Lindsay’s marriage to Bryan Abasolo have been the only marriages to result. The weddings of the first two were broadcast on ABC.
