Taylor Frankie Paul’s ‘Bachelorette’ Men Under ‘Bachelor’ Consideration

Casting for the next ‘Bachelor’ is in overdrive … and among the men under consideration to be the next face of the franchise are contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul‘s shelved ‘Bachelorette’ season.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ … an undisclosed number of guys from TFP’s run are definitely being eyed … and dual auditions are ongoing for both the next leading man — and his group of would-be singles. The hunt for the next ‘Bachelor’ leading lad kicked off a few weeks ago.

A production source tells us … shooting “The Bachelor” Season 30 may be pushed until next Janurary — it usually shoots in the fall, but nothing is set in stone. Even if production is pushed … we’re told the show is still expected to premiere in early 2027, as previously announced.

As for TFP’s ‘Bachelorette’ season … just what will happen is anyone’s guess after it was pulled amid controversies with Tayor and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, boiling over. But, as we reported … there is light at the end of the tunnel for her season to air … as she continues to resolve legal and custody matters.
