ABC Cancels Bachelorette 2026 Just 72 Hours Before Premiere
In an unprecedented move, ABC pulled Taylor Frankie Paul's season just days before its March 23 launch after TMZ released 2023 assault footage. The cancellation cost Disney an estimated $60 million and marks the first Bachelorette season to never air. Paul's controversial casting was already a franchise first - no previous lead had appeared without Bachelor background.
