Every season of The Bachelor tends to be a wild ride, from drama among the ladies to the leading man's difficult decision in figuring out who to give his final rose to. There's also the post-show drama and the questions of whether or not the Bachelor is still with his winner.

But what fans always look forward to during each season is the finale, and for those who can't watch it live, they depend on Hulu to stream The Bachelor finale after it airs.

Cord-cutters all over the world are always eager to see who the suitor picks and how he handles his fantasy suite missteps. But because the finale episode doesn't drop on Hulu immediately following its on-air finale, or even right away the very next day, it isn't as easy as normal to keep up with the reality series.

So, when is The Bachelor finale on Hulu? Let's find out!

When will 'The Bachelor' Season 29 finale be on Hulu?

Typically, The Bachelor hits Hulu the following day at 5 a.m. EST after each episode airs. However, for both Seasons 27 and 28, Hulu subscribers found that the season finale (the most important episode of the season!) of The Bachelor wasn't on the streaming service.

So, when does the Season 29 finale get there? If we've learned anything from the history of ABC and Hulu’s collaboration, it's that there are times when things don't go according to plan.

In a perfect world, Hulu would release The Bachelor finale immediately after it aired on cable television. Or, at the very least, at midnight a few hours after. But, according to the streaming platform, the plan each season is to simply make the episode available on the Tuesday following The Bachelor finale.

For Season 28 of The Bachelor, viewers found that even the morning after the television event, Hulu hadn't dropped the finale episode. And so, judging by past finales, the Season 29 finale will eventually be available, but it likely won't be as soon as most of the viewers anticipate.

Yes, we know it's frustrating, but hang in there — the finale will show up soon, and before you know it, you'll be able to hit play and catch up on the conclusion of Grant's journey!

How can viewers watch 'The Bachelor' Season 29 finale without Hulu?

While some people may only have access to Hulu, some others may be able to sign in to ABC using a cable account. The Bachelor finale is almost always available to stream on ABC's website through either an ABC subscription or with a connected cable provider.

That seems to be the only option to watch The Bachelor finale for the time between when the finale airs live and when it reaches Hulu to stream.

However, with all the spoilers and memes flooding social media, you'll likely have a pretty good idea of what happened before the episode even hits the streaming platform!
