Missed the Latest Episode of 'The Bachelor'? Here's When You Can Stream It on Hulu

With modern TV, there's now a certain invasive sense of urgency when it comes to watching the latest episodes. In the past, we had to tune into a channel every week to keep up with new installments of our favorite shows.

But these days, we have all sorts of outlets to watch new episodes at our own pace, which can often be a double-edged sword in a content-heavy market. The best thing about it, though, is the ability to watch new episodes on our own time!

Instant spoiler discussions aside, we're no longer tied down by the need to watch new episodes right as they come out on TV as long as we have a stable internet connection.

So, shows like The Bachelor are more available at our fingertips than ever before. All of the romance and roses from previous seasons and current ones can be watched whenever we want... well, almost whenever.

New episodes of The Bachelor are available on Hulu every week, but when exactly do they come out?

Despite all the options we have to watch the latest TV episodes on streaming platforms like Hulu, networks have often tried to strike a balance between broadcast and streaming. After all, channels such as ABC still want you to catch their newest shows on the actual channel to justify ratings and time slots.

In essence, they still treat both TV ratings and streaming numbers with the same amount of gravity, and they want the channel itself to perform well compared to streaming.

It's for this reason that more often than not, networks will still air their newest episodes on cable and only make streaming available shortly after. For primetime shows like The Bachelor, you typically only have to wait until the morning after to watch. However, this strategy maintains the urgency of watching something right away to avoid getting spoiled.

If you absolutely can't watch The Bachelor when it airs, then the latest episodes will almost always appear on Hulu at 5 a.m. EST on the morning after they've already aired.

So, if you missed the regular broadcast, you can easily squeeze in a new episode in the wee hours before going off to work or classes. But even if you're waiting for them to stream, you may not want to wait long.

Be sure to know when and where you can watch The Bachelor so you don't miss a second of the drama and romance. New episodes premiere every Monday at 8 p.m. EST, only on ABC. And, as previously stated, you can stream the next day on Hulu!
