Season 22 of “The Bachelorette” starring “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” figure Taylor Frankie Paul now has a premiere date! Granted, it might not be when you expect it. While many people assumed that the reality TV show would replace “The Bachelor” which usually premiers around winter or early spring, it turns out that you won’t be able to watch “The Bachelorette” until a bit later.
“The Bachelorette” made the announcement via Instagram, posting a video of Taylor doing a popular TikTok dance while answering questions she apparently faces often.
The first inquiry pops up, asking, “Are you really the new Bachelorette?”
She answers, “Yes, Bach. 😉”
Next, she’s asked, “Will there only be Mormons on this season?”
Her answer: “No lol 😂”
The final question asks her, “When is the premiere date?”
That’s when she answers, “Sunday, March 22.”
Although that may seem like a long wait, the buzz around the show is that they’ve already started filming. Indeed, the Season 22 action kicked off on Sunday, October 26, at the Bachelor Nation mansion in Los Angeles, according to Reality Steve.
