'The Bachelorette' Season 18: Everything We Know

Michelle Young is looking for love!

As Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette wraps up, fans are already looking ahead to the upcoming seasons of both Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelorette, which will next star Michelle Young.

Here's everything we know about the upcoming season:

Young is another contestant from Matt James's season. Just like Thurston, she made an impression right away and won over tons of fans. She ended up placing second, and her choice for a franchise lead was announced alongside Thurston's, during the After the Final Rose special on March 15.

During that special, she revealed (per People),“I really do think this process works…When you get to set down all the outside distractions and really dive in, I think you can learn a lot about somebody. I'm just excited. I'm ready to get started."

Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will host again. With Chris Harrison gone, these two Bachelorette vets will continue filling in as hosts. They were generally well-received by viewers, though there's no word on if this will become a “permanent” gig. What if Thurston joins, and then they just keep adding more and more hosts? Hey, that's basically what's happening on BiP.

There will be hoops! Franchise creator Mike Fleiss shared a behind-the-scenes pic of Young on a basketball court, revealing they were “on location.” Love is the slammiest of dunks. We've always said that.

According to Variety's sources, cameras are already rolling on Young's season, indicating that the men have been cast, though not revealed.
