In the blink of an eye, a new season of The Bachelorette is upon us! Season 21 features Jenn Tran, a 26-year-old physician assistant student, taking on the leading role, ready to become the main character in her own love story.

In the Season 21 premiere, fans quickly learn that Jenn's first night as the Bachelorette isn't at the Bachelor mansion. Instead, the New Jersey native meets her 25 hunky suitors at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, Calif.
For those who don't know, this jaw-dropping event venue was previously featured in The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. This also marks the first time since Season 18 that the season hasn't started at the traditional Bachelor mansion in Agoura Hills, Calif.
In late March 2024, Jenn chatted with Entertainment Tonight about shaking things up and ditching the Bachelor mansion for her first night as the Bachelorette.
"I think what I've been trying to tell myself [is I'm the] first Asian Bachelorette, first PA student, we're really breaking the mold this season," she said. "I feel like a new mansion is the perfect way to break the mold... I'm gonna bless it with some really good vibes."
After the first rose ceremony, Jenn informs the remaining men that they are all about to embark on a first in franchise history: Starting the journey overseas. In the final moments of the season premiere, Jenn reveals the group is heading to Melbourne, Australia!
Jenn's journey to find her future husband also includes visits to stunning destinations like Auckland, New Zealand, and Pike Place Market in Seattle, Wash. Wrapping up the season, Jenn and her final three men head to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, for the overnight dates and the final rose ceremony.
Reflecting on her globetrotting experience, Jenn shared with Entertainment Tonight, "I'm so excited. "As a Sagittarius, we love to travel, we love to be independent, we love to do crazy things."
The Bachelorette airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. Stream the next day on Hulu.
