After 33 combined seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, ABC has cast its first black lead, a source close to the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Rachel Lindsay, a Texas attorney, and current contestant on Nick Viall's The Bachelor, will be announced as the next Bachelorette on Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live! The star of the next cycle is usually announced after the current season wraps, but ABC is breaking tradition by revealing the news weeks before the finale.

On the current season, which airs its next episode ahead of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Lindsay is still in the running. Her appointment not only breaks race barriers for the franchise, but it is also the first time ABC has announced its next star while she or he is appearing on the current cycle, essentially spoiling part of the ending as to who Viall ultimately picks.



Never saw the appeal in these shows but I know a lot of y'alls ol lady's watch it. Never dawned on me there has never been a minority "lead". SJW's rejoice!

Finally, we can put aside our racial differences. All is right in the world.

So we can assume she didn't get picked because she's a black?

No, Nick is an idiot. No wonder he's been the loser on the show.

Yup, those white snowflakes need to know who their African queen overlord is. Trudat! Next up: Gay Bachelor in Rio.

Probably will be a bust though unfortunately. The people who watch that crap are weak minded anyway
