From the premiere date to the cast and location, here’s everything we know about Michelle’s ‘Bachelorette’ season so far.
TV & Movies Filming is underway. After a Bachelor drought amid the coronavirus pandemic last summer, the franchise is making up for lost time. During Matt James’ After the Final Rose special in March, temporary host Emmanuel Acho announced that there will be not one, but two Bachelorettes this year. Katie Thurston’s Bachelorette season is currently airing, after which Michelle Young will take on the role this fall. “I am ready. I really do think this process works when you can set down all of these outside distractions and really dive in,” Michelle said of leading her own season on ATFR. “I think you can learn a lot about somebody. I’m just excited. I’m ready to get started.” In an Instagram post following the special, Michelle thanked fans for the love and support. “My family and I have appreciated the overwhelming support that has been shown throughout the season. Thank you for accepting us with open arms,” she wrote. “Time to relax, recharge, and trade in these gowns for sweatpants…! At least for a little while anyway.” With the premiere approaching, here’s everything we know about Michelle’s season so far. According to ABC’s fall schedule, The Bachelorette is slated to premiere on Oct.19 and will air on Tuesday nights. Bachelor blogger Reality Steve reported that the reason for the timing is that Michelle, a fifth grade teacher, didn’t want to be away from her students to film during the usual spring Bachelorette slot.
