Taylor Frankie Paul's season of The Bachelorette, season 22, is reportedly slated for a July premiere on ABC.

This development follows the show's abrupt cancellation in March, just three days before its scheduled debut.

The initial decision to pull the season stemmed from the release of a 2023 video by TMZ, which depicted Paul, known from *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*, in an altercation with her former partner, Dakota Mortensen.

The ensuing public backlash led to uncertainty regarding whether the season would ever air.

According to TMZ, the show's editors continued to work on the episodes even after the cancellation, indicating that there was always an intention to eventually release the season.

Furthermore, audience test screenings were reportedly conducted to assess public sentiment towards Paul several months after the video went viral.

This suggests that the network is gauging viewer reception before moving forward with the broadcast.

Paul's personal life has been a subject of public scrutiny.

Prior to the video's release, filming for *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* had already been paused due to her situation with Mortensen.

The two have restraining orders against each other and are involved in a custody dispute over their 2-year-old son, Ever.

In early June, Paul was granted the right to unsupervised overnight visits with her son, a change from her previous allowance of only supervised visits for up to eight hours a week.

Paul has also been active on social media, posting about her personal progress since the pauses in production for both *The Bachelorette* and *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*.

These efforts to rehabilitate her public image reportedly caught the attention of ABC network executives.

If the July release window holds true, it would mean a two-year gap since the previous season of The Bachelorette, which premiered in July 22.

This hiatus, while significant, is not the longest in the show's history.

The reported July release would also provide an opportunity for Paul's suitors to be featured.

The cast for The Bachelorette season 22 includes Aaron Kahng, Brad Ledford, Brandon Perce, Casey Hux, Christopher Wood, Clayton Johnson, Conrad Ukropina, Doug Mason, Johnnie LaRossa, Josh Harward, Kevin Montero, Lew Evans, Malik Evan, Marcus Richardson, Matt Carroll, Michael Baba, Mike Turitto, Richard Van De Water, Rod Strozier, Ronn Perez, Shane Parton, and Trenten Merrill.
