The Golden Bachelorette has officially been greenlit to be released this fall!
ABC announced the news at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, not long after The Golden Bachelorlovebirds, Gerry and Theresa, tied the knot. This will be the first season of The Bachelor spinoff oriented towards a single senior woman!
We had so much fun watching the very first installment of The Golden Bachelor, that we just can’t wait to see the roles reversed for The Golden Bachelorette. The hype is very real!
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming TV show, including casting announcements and premiere date details.
Who is the Golden Bachelorette?
Our Golden Bachelorette has not been announced just yet. This means the possibilities for casting are endless, though we’d really like to see some of the women from The Golden Bachelor lead the new spinoff – Faith and Leslie in particular, who made it to the top 3. At this point, it could be anyone!
Craig Erwich, the president of Disney Television Group, announced the debut of The Golden Bachelorette at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour earlier this month. Speaking with Glamour, Erwich acknowledged just how challenging casting for the show will be:
“It's a quality problem to have… because that means the first one worked,” Erwich said. “It's fun. It's our job, and it is fun to think about all the different permutations and what different shows look like with different contestants. We're not there yet, but it's an exciting process.”
Who will be part of "The Golden Bachelorette"?
As mentioned before, there haven't been any official casting announcements for The Golden Bachelorette yet. What we do know is that the season will start off with one senior woman (at least 60 years old) and 22 senior men looking to steal the gal’s heart and lock down an everlasting love by the end of it. ❤️
When will "The Golden Bachelorette" air?
ABC noted that The Golden Bachelorette will air in fall 2024. Keep checking back here for the official date and time of the season 1 premiere!
Impatient for The Golden Bachelorette to air? You can still get your fix of love, laughs, and a little bit of drama very soon – ABC also announced that a new season of The Bachelorette is coming in summer 2024!
How can I watch "The Golden Bachelorette"?
According to ABC, The Golden Bachelorette will air on ABC and be available to stream on Hulu the following day. Historically, the different installments of The Bachelor have aired on Thursdays at 8pm ET.
What is the cast of "The Golden Bachelor" up to now?
It just so happens that our most beloved contestants from The Golden Bachelor, Kathy and Susan, are launching a new podcast, People reports. The podcast will be titled Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour, with the first episode dropping March 28, 2024!
The duo will be shedding light on and providing “some real wisdom about relationships, heartbreak and even sex" through the show. We're also excited to hear from previous Bachelor Nation cast members as the podcast series continues!
The pair definitely showed some real chemistry during the first-ever golden Bachelor, so the podcast is sure to be a grand time.
“We can finish each other's sentences,” Susan told PhillyVoice about Kathy earlier this month, hinting at the new co-hosted podcast. “We're night and day, but yet we're the same in a sense. We just roll off each other, and it's so easy.”
As far as the winners of The Golden Bachelor, Gerry and Theresa, they are happily enjoying married life and mingling with each other's families. They share tons of pics on their Instagram feeds, and we love to see it!
How successful was "The Golden Bachelor"?
According to Variety, the first installment of The Golden Bachelor reached about 43.4 million viewers, making it ABC’s most-watched unscripted premiere on Hulu. The finale amassed 6.1 million viewers, deeming it the biggest episode in Bachelor history in nearly 3 years.
