Bachelor Nation fans are busy watching The Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise at the moment, and Hulu made viewers feel grumpy and upset. Has the streaming giant dumped the show? Or, are people just unaware of changes that were made earlier this year? Read on to find out.
Bachelor Nation & Other Shows On Hulu
Each time a new season comes out on ABC, there are plenty of articles about where to watch. For example, ahead of The Golden Bachelor, the news emerged that the show airs on ABC. While you can watch it on Hulu, it doesn’t air on the streaming platform on the same day. In fact, you have to go there to watch it the following day.
Currently, Bachelor Nation viewers can watch Gerry Turner’s season on Hulu. However, don’t leave it too long. Although the show has all the episodes available, they might not stay on Hulu for long. However, Bachelor in Paradise is another story. And, that gets fans feeling grumpy and upset. Read on to find out why. Actually, ABC also takes a bit of fire from irritated viewers.

Bachelor Nation Fans Compain About Paradise
The show from ABC about the beach where a lot of people get a second shot at finding love is fun to watch. Mainly, people enjoy it because the dynamics can change so easily. Nobody can ever say for certain who will stay with whom. So, it isn’t a great idea to skip a few episodes and then go back and watch them. More so, if you are a Hulu subscriber
This week, an OP on Reddit complained because the Bachelor Nation shows on Hulu expire. They wrote:
Hulu with bachelor in paradise and Golden Bachelor. Golden bachelor full season but BIP expires when new episodes are added. I never saw that before!
In the discussion, some Bachelor Nation fans were already aware of the expirations.
- Well I guess I’ll skip paradise. I just assumed it would be available for me whenever. Oh well.
- It’s on ABC.com they expire one month after the finale
- They do that with their main shows too, Bachelor and Bachelorette. I’m pleasantly surprised to see that Golden has all its episodes up!
- It’s so crazy that it’s so hard to rewatch old seasons and you have to go on a wild goose chase trying to watch them. Like I want to try and watch old seasons and ABC/ Hulu makes it nearly impossible.
- Yeah, I really wanted to watch charity’s season and had to on some bootleg site with a ton of pop ups…
Why Are Shows Expiring?
Back in June of this year, Hulu decided to follow the lead of other streaming networks. Per Deadline, just like Paramount Plus and Disney Plus, Hulu started axing content, and limiting how long people could watch shows. Furthermore, it’s not exclusive to Bachelor Nation shows on ABC. The reason is to avoid paying heavy taxes.
How do you feel about knowing that Hulu and other streaming platforms limit how long you can watch a season of any Bachelor Nation show?So why isn’t Bachelor In Paradise on Hulu? If you use Hulu, you better go there quickly if you have not yet watched The Golden Bachelor. After all, it might soon disappear. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. And, keep coming back for more streaming news and Bachelor Nation news.
