‘The Bachelor' Season 29 Finale: Grant Ellis' Final Rose Goes to …
Note: This story contains spoilers for 'The Bachelor' Season 29, Episode 9.
Grant Ellis has reached the end of his time 'The Bachelor,' and the leading man found his other half.
It wasn't an easy road to the engagement though, as Ellis struggled to decide which of his final two women — Litia Garr and Juliana Pasquarosa — he would chose to his partner. Ellis leaned on his parents, who reunited in the same room for the first time in years, as they met both Garr and Pasquarosa during the ABC reality dating show's finale.
Ultimately, Ellis chose to send Garr home and gave his final rose to Pasquarosa. Ellis proposed to Pasquarosa in Punta Cana, and the pair are now engaged.
Ellis started out on 'The Bachelor' Season 29 by courting 25 women, and gave his first impression rose to Alexe, a 27-year-old pediatric speech therapist from New Brunswick, Canada.
By hometown dates, Ellis narrowed his final four women down to Garr, Pasquarosa, Dina Lupancu and Zoe McGrady. Ellis sent Lupancu home after hometown dates, and eventually bid farewell to McGrady after fantasy suites dates had Ellis spend the night with McGrady, Garr and Pasquarosa.
'All I can say is casting did a really good job with these ladies — they're one of a kind,' Ellis told TheWrap in an interview. 'It really was difficult for me at the end, just because I had two amazing women. And at the end of the day, I went with my heart.'
The finale saw Ellis reunite with Garr to clear the air. She told him she was blindsided by his decision, but ultimately told him she doesn't think he's a bad guy and made the right choice for himself. And after sharing the proposal, Ellis and Pasquarosa joined Jesse Palmer to announce they are moving to Boston together and enjoying their engagement. Palmer also gifted the happy couple with a trip to Italy.
Beyond the drama that unfolded on-screen this season, the 'Bachelor' franchise has been undergoing some shake ups, with showrunners Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner exiting the franchise ahead of the Season 29 finale amid reports of a toxic work environment. Additionally, the franchise has opted to skip the typical production cycle for 'The Bachelorette,' which typically airs in the summer.
Before the finale wrapped up, the show offered a sneak peek into the new season of 'Bachelor in Paradise,' set to premiere this summer after taking a year off. The new season comes with a big twist, with Palmer revealing that cast members from 'Golden Bachelor' and 'Golden Bachelorette' will join the fun in Mexico alongside their younger counterparts. This marks the first big change to the show to be announced for Season 10, which tapped 'Summer House' EP Scott Teti as showrunner.
'The Bachelor' Season 29 finale will stream on Hulu beginning Tuesday.

My heart broke when this musical comedy show was canceled — but at least it's streaming on Hulu
Musical TV shows are hit or miss, but the best ones lean into satire and self-awareness. To sell the idea of characters randomly bursting into song, a little camp goes a long way. Some shows like "Glee" and "Smash" build singing into the story through a cappella groups or theater settings. Others, like "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," invent quirky setups for musical numbers that teeter between realism and ridiculousness (the sweet spot). But I'm here for genre chaos. The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" musical episode set the bar high for '90s kids and the entire TV industry. Plenty of shows have tried to match its iconic status, but most have fallen flatter than the pitchiest note. One-off episodes are hard enough. Sustaining that energy for a whole series? Nearly impossible — except "Galavant" pulled it off. ABC's short-lived medieval musical show turned every fairy tale trope on its head with biting wit, satirical absurdity and a soundtrack as fresh as its plot. RIP to the real king. True love won't get you far in medieval times — especially if you're a woman. The show opens with our wannabe hero Galavant (Joshua Sasse) on a quest to rescue his beloved Madalena (Mallory Jansen). Except ... she's not in distress. She left Galavant for the king who kidnapped her. Why? Power and money, obviously. King Richard (Timothy Omundson) may sit on the throne, but Madalena's running the show. She knows how to weaponize toxic masculinity — and does, with perfection. Meanwhile, Galavant's off trying to rescue someone who doesn't want to be rescued. Sorry, Galavant, but Madalena is just not that into you. She's not even subtle about it. Yes, she uses her charms to get what she wants, but it's not manipulation — she tells everyone exactly what she's doing. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. She's not the only badass in the realm. Princess Isabella (Karen David) tricks Galavant into fighting for her kingdom under the pretense of needing a big, strong man. It's not hard; the guy's got a raging ego. He's also a washed-up loser and kind of an idiot. But at least he has a good personality ... just kidding! Medieval Women: 2Medieval Men: 0 You know Alan Menken, the legendary composer behind Disney movies including "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin" and "Newsies." He co-composed Galavant with Christopher Lennertz ("Pitch Perfect," "The Boys"). These heavyweights poured genuine talent into this absurd little gem of a show, and it shows. "Galavant's" soundtrack could easily pass as a Broadway cast album. It's not just the vocals — it's the composition, the pacing, the comic timing. Every song is completely self-aware and absurd without veering into nonsense. Somehow, it all works. From 'Hero's Journey' to 'A New Season,' the show breaks the fourth wall with abandon and dares you not to hum along. Galavant himself may be a mildly lovable, mostly pitiful mess, but the show? It's a legendary feminist parody that lands every punch — often to Galavant's face. Sadly, "Galavant" met the fate of too many quirky cult classics like "Pushing Daisies," "Dead Like Me" and "Reaper." Despite all the jokes about low budgets and imminent cancellation, the show's brilliance wasn't enough to save it. "Galavant" may have ridden off into the sunset too soon, but fortunately, the entire series is streaming on Hulu. So if you missed it the first time (like most people did), you've got a second chance to witness the chaotic, catchy brilliance for yourself. And if you've already seen it? Watch it again (and again). The songs still slap, the jokes still land and Galavant is still gloriously bad at being a hero. Watch "Galavant" on Hulu

Channing Dungey to Remain With Warner Bros. Discovery Studios and Streaming Post-Split
Channing Dungey, the chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group and Warner Bros. Discovery's U.S. Networks, is set to remain with the Studios & Streaming business following its separation from the media giant's Global Networks business, which is expected to take place in mid-2026. 'Warner Bros Television Group will become part of Streaming & Studios, and I'm thrilled that I will continue to have the privilege of leading WBTVG,' the executive said in a memo to employees on Monday. As head of Warner Bros. Television Group, Dungey oversees WBTV as well as its unscripted television division, which includes the Warner Horizon, Telepictures, and Shed Media labels. Dungey also has oversight of animated production from Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. As of March, WBTVG's divisions were producing more than 80 projects for nearly 20 platforms, including HBO, Max, U.S. Networks, external streaming services, the broadcast networks and local stations. Notable series include 'Ted Lasso,' 'Abbott Elementary', 'All American,' 'The Bachelor' franchise, 'Batman: Caped Crusader,' 'Creature Commandos,' 'Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage,' 'Harley Quinn,' 'Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking,' 'The Jennifer Hudson Show,' 'The Penguin,' 'The Pitt,' 'Presumed Innocent,' 'Running Point,' 'Shrinking,' 'Teen Titans Go!,' 'The Voice,' 'You,' and many more. Following the retirement of Kathleen Finch at the end of 2024, Dungey officially took over the role as U.S. Networks head, giving her additional oversight of Discovery Channel, Food Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, TLC, Adult Swim, Animal Planet, Cartoon Network, Cooking Channel, HLN, OWN, Science Channel, TBS, TNT, Travel Channel, truTV, and Turner Classic Movies. Also currently leading the U.S. Networks division with Dungey are chief operating officer Brett Paul, chief creative officer Howard Lee, chief financial and strategy officer Susan Kolar, who has been named chief financial and strategy officer and global chief marketing officer Karen Bronzo. In addition to WBTV, the Studios & Streaming business will include Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO and HBO Max, Warner Bros. Games, Tours, Retail and Experiences, as well as studio production facilities in Burbank and Leavesden. Executives have said that the streaming business is on track to generate at least $1.3 billion in profit by the end of 2025 and reach at least 150 million streaming subscribers by the end of 2026, which it plans to achieve through a combination of expanding Max internationally, strategic distribution partnerships and driving higher penetration of its ad-supported tier. Meanwhile, the studios business is targeting at least $3 billion in annual profit, with a specific timeline for achieving that unclear. Global Networks will include CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., Discovery, top free-to-air channels across Europe, Discovery+ and Bleacher Report (B/R). It will retain a 20% stake in the studios and streaming business to help the company deleverage and is expected to take the majority of WBD's roughly $37 billion in gross debt.
