ABC finally confirmed Sam Hartman as the leading man for Season 30 ofThe Bachelor on November 13. The NFL quarterback will be handing out roses when the show returns for the first time in two years.
There’s quite a bit riding on the upcoming installment of the beloved franchise, considering 2026 had no Bachelor Nation content at all after Taylor Frankie Paul’s season ofThe Bachelorette was canceled in March. The decision came after major public drama involving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, so all eyes are on Hartman to deliver a controversy-free season.
