Bachelor Nation will soon witness Zach Shallcross' second chance at finding true love!

Shallcross came extremely close to capturing Rachel Recchia's heart on the latest season of "The Bachelorette." The 26-year-old nearly sealed the deal and put a ring on it, but ultimately nabbed the third-place spot.

Heartbreak has evolved into a sense of possibility for Shallcross as he gears up for Bachelor Nation to find out whether he finally makes it to the altar!

Shallcross was announced as the lead for the 27th season of "The Bachelor" after he and Recchia were unable to move past her concerns regarding his age and whether he was; Recchia felt concerned with the possibility her beau, who was 25 at the time of filming, wouldn't be ready for an engagement.
