Bachelor Nation still has to get used to saying 'Bachelorette Tuesdays,' BUT great news, ABC officially announced the premiere date for the MOST dramatic season ever!!

Bust out your wine corks, your charcuterie boards, and your Bachelor brackets because beginning on October 13th we will finally get to see what happened at that secluded resort in California.

The Bachelorette announced the premiere date with one of its most interesting promo photos to date.
In a different twist, Crawley can be seen wearing jeans and a sparkly blazer, not the typical glitzy gowns the leads normally wear, which got fans freaking out. Bachelor Nation was then blowing up the comment section on the announcement post wondering why there is a random leg in the foreground putting on a sock? It has been speculated that the promo poster is a nod to the 1967 classic film, The Graduate. That movie's poster includes a similar stance with a woman's leg in the foreground and the main character in the back. Some are saying the promo is a direct dig at Crawley's age, as she is the oldest lead to date, and the producers made a direct correlation to her journey and the age gap between the main characters in the film The Graduate.

Regardless of the reason for the odd promo announcement, host, Chris Harrison tweeted about the premiere with the caption, "I feel like this could be double trouble."

Now, this was a not so subtle nod to the idea that this season has two different leads! After Crawley finds love early on, she opts to end her journey, and still needing to film an entire show, the producers brought in Tayshia Adams as the second lead.

No one knows exactly how this all plays out, which is why for the first time ever, this season might live up to its motto: "The most dramatic season ever!" 

After months of speculation, conspiracy theories, and Twitter threads, Bachelor Nation will finally be in the know starting on October 13th!
