Minnesotan ‘Bachelorette’ Finalist Is The New ‘Bachelor’

Early last month, we saw our Minnesotan 'Bachelorette' Becca Kufrin hand out her final rose to Garrett.

Despite the last man standing, each of the final four men vying for her heart were equally loved. In 'Bachelor' Land, producers usually pick from the top few contestants when it comes to casting the next lead. It's what they did with our Prior Lake native and what they did once again this time around.

That's right - the next 'Bachelor' is a very familiar face. Drum roll please!

The next man that will be handing out roses on national television? Colton Underwood.

Underwood was announced as the next 'Bachelor' live on Good Morning America Tuesday morning.

If you watched Kufrin's season of the hit show, you will feel like you already know him. He nearly made it to the end, placing in the top four.

Shortly after his stint on the show, he went on spin-off series 'Bachelor In Paradise' where he graced our television screens once again, before ultimately sending himself home in a plot twist on Monday's episode.

This will be the 23rd season of 'The Bachelor' and is expected to air in 2019.
