If you tuned into this week’s dose of reality TV gold, you’re likely hoping for The Bachelor Season 29 Episode 10 – but there’s a simple reason why the finale came sooner than expected.

The long-running dating show has been a staple of reality TV since it first premiered in 2002, leading to countless dramatic rose ceremonies, shocking exits, and whirlwind proposals, not to mention plenty of successful spinoffs, including The Bachelorette

Genuine connections are made, with last year’s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson still together. This time around, all eyes were on leading man Grant Ellis, whose journey to find love played out across the latest chapter. 

This season had no shortage of emotional highs and lows, and if you’re here for the drama and the love, you will no doubt be wondering when The Bachelor Season 29 Episode 10 drops – but we have some news. Warning: spoilers ahead!

Is there The Bachelor Season 29 Episode 10?

No, The Bachelor Season 29 Episode 9 was the finale. It aired on ABC on Monday, March 24, 2025, and will be available for streaming on Hulu on Tuesday, March 25. 

The reason there’s some confusion is because the latest chapter of the hit TV show is only nine episodes long, making it the shortest since Season 12. You can check out the episode count for each run below: 

  • Season 1 – 7 episodes
  • Season 2 – 9 episodes
  • Season 3 – 10 episodes
  • Season 4 – 10 episodes
  • Season 5 – 9 episodes
  • Season 6 – 10 episodes
  • Season 7 – 8 episodes
  • Season 8 – 8 episodes
  • Season 9 – 8 episodes
  • Season 10 – 9 episodes
  • Season 11 – 10 episodes
  • Season 12 – 9 episodes
  • Season 13 – 11 episodes
  • Season 14 – 10 episodes
  • Season 15 – 12 episodes
  • Season 16 – 12 episodes
  • Season 17 – 13 episodes
  • Season 18 – 12 episodes
  • Season 19 – 13 episodes
  • Season 20 – 12 episodes
  • Season 21 – 13 episodes
  • Season 22 – 12 episodes
  • Season 23 – 12 episodes
  • Season 24 – 12 episodes
  • Season 25 – 12 episodes
  • Season 26 – 12 episodes
  • Season 27 – 11 episodes
  • Season 28 – 11 episodes
  • Season 29 – 9 episodes

There’s another reason for the confusion: some outlets stated that The Bachelor Season 29 is 10 episodes long, and that the finale airs on March 31, 2025. Alas, it’s not true.

“I truly believe that you’re somebody who is my best friend, and I’m so grateful for our journey, and when you’re going through the toughest times in your life, I want you to know that you don’t have to go through it alone, that I’ll be there for you, as your man, as your friend, as your partner.”
