More about The Bachelor season 27
Zach Shallcross failed to win the heart of Rachel Recchia in The Bachelorette season 19 but was announced as the next bachelor in the season finale, where he met 5 of the contestants of his season, including Bailey, Brianna, Cat, Christina, and Brooklyn. On September 26, 2022, just six days after the announcement, the series filming in Los Angeles got underway. The cast was also seen filming in Budapest, Tallinn, London, The Bahamas, and Krabi.
ABC's description of The Bachelor lead Zach reads:
"An endearing 26-year-old tech executive from Anaheim Hills, California, Shallcross stole Bachelor Nation's heart on season 19 of "The Bachelorette" with his quiet charm, wit and openness to finding lasting love. Audiences saw Shallcross put himself and his desire to meet "the one" first when he made his emotional exit, opening the door for his "person" to walk through. "
It further reads:
"A family man at heart, Shallcross splits time between Texas and Orange County. His parents, who have been married over 30 years, have shown him what true love looks like. He strives to find a love that echoes the standard they have set for him, and he plans to keep them in mind when looking for a life partner."
The Bachelor season 27 is being produced by Next Entertainment and Warner Bros. Some of the show's executive producers include Nicole Woods, Bennett Graebner, Louis Caric, Mike Fleiss, Martin Hilton, Tim Warner, and Jodi Baskerville.
