Watch The Bachelorette Season 21: Synopsis
Summer’s here and the heat is on as Jenn Tran’s quest for love continues. The former The Bachelor contestant may have lost her Joey, but the 26-year-old firecracker is now firmly behind the wheel – alongside host Jesse Palmer – and raring to go as the franchise’s first Asian American lead. Follow Jenn on her life-changing journey with our guide below, explaining how to watch The Bachelorette Season 21 online from anywhere now.
Love has proven elusive for Jenn in the past. Having formerly been in a few “bad relationships,” respite came briefly in the form of Bachelor dreamboat Joey Graziadei. “I’ve never felt anything like this before,” she shared of their easy chemistry. “I just want to get naked and cuddle in the woods.” In the end, the tennis pro gave his final rose to someone else. Which was a good thing, really, as that left Jenn free to take up the mantle as the series’ first Asian Bachelorette.
Now all of Jenn’s Disney dreams are coming true. She’s got the keys to the brand new Bachelorette mansion in Santa Susana, and, having accosted Cupid’s bow, is ready to take aim at her Prince Charming – ideally a man with a huge personality and cheeky banter – from among the motorcade of bachelors pulling up outside the mansion to court her.
Who are some of the twenty-five contestants hoping to get familiar with the beautiful bachelorette? There’s loud and hard-working Devin Strader, a freight company owner from Texas; 27-year-old Jonathon Johnson, a self-proclaimed romantic who likes "local escape rooms and playing lacrosse"; and former pro swimmer Thomas Nguyen, whose family like Jenn's also hail from Vietnam. Then there's Army Ranger veteran Marcus, contractor Sam McKinney, and pet portrait entrepreneur Spencer, among plenty of others.
Ready to hop aboard this rollercoaster of summer love? Then read on below, where we explain how to watch The Bachelorette Season 21 online – and free from anywhere in the world.

Jenn's back and looking for her special someone. The Bachelorette Season 21 debuted on Monday, July 8 at 8pm ET/PT on ABC. While there’s no known episode tally yet, there’s usually a total of between 9 and 13, with new episodes released once per week every Monday until the finale.
Long since cut the cord? You’ll find new episodes added to ABC’s catch-up service a day after its initial broadcast. No cable log-in details are required, and episodes remain available for FREE a whole week after they’ve aired.
A select few over-the-top streaming services can also provide access to ABC programming live or on-demand.
How to watch The Bachelorette Season 21 without cable
FuboTV is an ideal cable-replacement service. Not only does it provide ABC so that you can watch episodes of The Bachelorette live as they air, but it's got the largest and most varied selection of channels – including FOX, ESPN, NBC, FX, MTV and Bravo.
It's a comprehensive cable replacement, with Fubo's entry-level Pro plan packed with over 140 channels for a very reasonable $79.99 a month – and that’s only after you’ve enjoyed its FREE FuboTV trial deal.
Alternatively, Hulu provides multiple ways to stream The Bachelorette. If you want to catch the hit dating TV show live, then ABC is available with the Hulu with Live TV package at $76.99 a month. That includes Disney Plus and ESPN Plus (with ads), and also offers subscribers an initial 3-day free trial.
Another option is the cheaper, standard Hulu plan. If you can wait less than 24 hours, you could stream new episodes live from as little as $7.99 a month. Plus, new subscribers are entitled to the plan’s 30-day free trial.
And if you’re looking to save even more money, then the Disney Plus bundle options offer a variety of plans. For example, the ad-supported Trio Basic plan gifts you with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for just $14.99 a month – that’s a saving of 44% against the total cost of subscribing to each platform individually.

If you're a US citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch The Bachelorette Season 21 online just as you would at home.

1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan

Can I watch The Bachelorette Season 21 online in the UK?
Unfortunately, UK viewers won’t be feeling the love. The Bachelorette doesn’t have a broadcaster or streaming home across the pond, although it was once available through reality TV streamer Hayu. Should anything change, we’ll be sure to update you here.
Traveling abroad? If you want to watch The Bachelorette but are away from home, purchasing a VPN will let you stream your favorite shows from anywhere.
Can I watch The Bachelorette Season 21 in Australia?
It’s the same situation Down Under. The US version of The Bachelorette isn’t available to stream in Australia, with only a smattering of old seasons available online. Perhaps that’s because the country had its own version of The Bachelorette that aired on Network 10, which itself has been on hiatus since 2021.
If geo-blocks prevent you from enjoying the same shows you stream back home, then consider purchasing a VPN. That way, you can connect to the same platforms you already pay for, but while traveling abroad.

Does The Bachelorette Season 21 take place at a new mansion?
Filming for The Bachelorette didn’t take place at “Villa De La Vina” this year, the familiar Bachelor mansion located in the Santa Monica Mountains. Instead, the production relocated to Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana for The Bachelorette Season 21.
The Bachelorette Season 21 Episode Recap
Episode 1:
Jenn Tran’s journey to find love got off to an auspicious start on Monday night. Standing outside the new Bachelorette mansion in Santa Susana, she looked absolutely stunning as she individually welcomed a handsome gaggle of 25 men – one of whom could just be future husband.
Aiming to leave an indelible impression, their introductions were alternately romantic, complimentary, and cocksure. Texan Devin Strader, who Jenn described as “cute,” took a big swing by declaring that “it’s not every day that you get to meet your future wife.” Bringing the pint-sized beauty a platform to stand on, medical student John flattered her by saying he would always put her on a pedestal, while Hakeem Moulton took the Disney Pixar approach – running up to the mansion tethered to dozens of balloons, and reassuring her that they were "always going to be here to uplift you.”
Some introductions were a bit more brazen. Real Estate Investor Jeremy ruffled some feathers after pulling up in a fancy red sports car. Heading off rumours that he was overcompensating for something, the 29-year-old left Jenn flustered when he reassured her that he also happened to have a big, like really big, err, “personality.”
Back inside the mansion, Jenn announced to a rapt audience of 25 men that she was hoping to find a “ferocious love.” Which of these aspiring suitors would be most likely to fan the flames? While they jostled to be the first to lock lips with Jenn, she held out for “sexy cowboy” and contractor Sam McKinney, on whom she bestowed not only a passionate kiss, but her First Impression Rose, too.
Seven contestants bid a premature farewell to the show after failing to secure a rose from Jenn. But, for those who remained, the adventure was just beginning. Pack your sunscreen, guys! Because you’re all headed to Melbourne, Australia, for sun, fun, and – more than likely – lots of snogging in the surf!
Episode 2:
Not content with romancing 18 men in California, Jenn Tran and her suitors headed halfway across the world to Melbourne, Australia. There, they sampled regional delicacies, went skydiving, and had a few close encounters with the wildlife – beyond that of Devin and Aaron's newfound rivalry.
Jenn was hoping for a chilled day of food and fun for her first group date. It was certainly memorable, proving that doing anything for love included eating kangaroo testicles. But self-confessed loudmouth Devin put the cat among the pigeons when he kept dragging Jenn away and monopolized her time. Let’s just say that Aerospace Engineer Aaron wasn’t impressed, and he made sure Devin knew it.
Ever the adrenaline junkie, Jenn went skydiving on her first one-on-one date with Marcus. The Army Ranger vet and Jenn connected on a more intimate, emotional level when he told her about the serious injuries he'd sustained during his last deployment. His level-headed nature complimented her gregarious personality, and unsurprisingly, he received a date rose from Jenn.
Dylan’s forthright approach to wooing Jenn led to increasing tension among the guys, and Thomas Nguyen – who was desperate for some more face time with the Bachelorette himself – joined Dylan’s growing number of vocal dissenters. Will Dylan turn out to be the divisive, male equivalent of Maria Georgias in The Bachelor?
Looking to bond with a fellow animal lover, Jenn took her second contingent of potential husbands on a Crocodile Dundee-styled photoshoot. Among them were Sam McKinney – one of Jenn’s leading lust objects – Thomas, Jahaan Ansari, and Hakeem. Hakeem quickly made it clear he had little affection for the Australian fauna, and a particular phobia of spiders. As luck would have it, the animal wrangler had an arachnid just for him, and laying it on the 29-year-old’s arm caused him to bug out while the rest of the guys collapsed in hysterics.
Medical Student Dylan, meanwhile, clearly made a good impression wielding his snake and bagged Jenn's second date rose. However, Brian Autz, Jahaan Ansari, and Marvin Goodly weren't so lucky and were sent packing at the end of the episode.
Episode 3:
Jenn and her men were in Melbourne for one more week. Devin continued to ruffle feathers and displayed some bare cheek during a Magic Mike-styled stripathon, while one contestant decided to pull out of the series. Yes, it was one saucy – and mildly surprising – episode of The Bachelorette!
The only one-on-one date went to Spencer Conley, and Jenn told the pet portrait entrepreneur that he was giving her good “golden retriever” vibes. As they took to the skies in a helicopter along the beautiful Great Ocean Road, they both seemed thrilled and totally at ease in each other’s company. That evening, their romantic date brought them even closer as the Bachelorette confided that she appreciated him putting her first after being in a lot of “toxic relationships.” Spencer shared that he had also been burnt. Having bought a house with his fiancé and just months from getting married, he discovered she’d been cheating on him.
Temperatures soared higher after that candle-lit dinner. Jenn was left delighted – and a little red cheeked – when the first group date saw 10 contestants called on to channel their inner Chippendale. Performing in front of a small audience, including, in a nice Bachelor Nation crossover moment, Australia’s own Becky and Ellie Miles, the boys were determined to bring the heat for Jenn.
A topless Jonathan, aka “Johnny Fire Cheeks”, worked the stage like his fireman alter ego would work a pole. He executed a breezy forward roll before yanking off his pants to bare tighty-whitey-clad buttocks with “Jenn” emblazoned on them. Despite admitting to “freaking out,” “Dirty Detective” Devin held nothing back. Beneath that Private Dick’s mac, he left little to the imagination. And it was that sheer “don’t give a damn” confidence that bagged him the group date rose.
Sam McKinney was clearly livid that Devin got the bigger reaction from the crowd – his own naughty, riding crop shtick was pretty PG after all his big talk. The Aussie Bachelorettes picked up on the chemistry between Sam and Jenn, though, which she casually dismissed as just “sexual tension.” But everyone was stunned when Sam Nejad chose to expose himself in a different way. Instead of shedding his clothes, he dropped the “L” bomb on Jenn. And he pretty much instantly regretted it.
Clearly a girl with a taste for danger, Jenn’s next group date involved her and four guys – Hakeem, Austin, Aaron, and Jeremy – speeding around a race car track. And Ms. Tran made a kickass entrance burning rubber in a pink racing car, getting out and declaring, “I like to get the adrenaline going.” During the challenge, Jeremey took the opportunity to make his move, and the two shared an intimate make out sesh. So, although Austin won the challenge, Jeremey came a little closer to winning Jenn’s heart. Oh, and the group date rose. Jeremy won the group date rose!
By the end of the evening, Jenn only had nine roses left to spare. Aaron announced that he was quitting the show because he had to go back to Space Camp, or Astronaut School, or something. And Sam M, who’s convinced he’s “all that” and more, got called out for a rose fourth from last, while Devin looked on safe with his group date win. Sadly, there were no roses left for Hakeem – whose Disney-style entrance promised such great things - and Tomas Azzano, who were both sent home.
But for our brilliant Bachelorette and the remaining 12 men, their antipodean adventure was just beginning. New Zealand, here we come!
