Powered by Reelgood

Now that Jenn Tran’s historic (incredibly dramatic!) Bachelorette season is over, the franchise is going back to its Golden Era with The Golden Bachelorette‘s debut season, led by Golden Bachelor alum Joan Vassos.

As noted in Decider’s Fall TV Preview, the 61-year-old grandmother and school administrator from Rockville, Maryland cut her relationship with Gerry Turner short because of a family emergency, but she’s getting another shot at love with 24 eligible bachelors who range from age 57 to 69.

While The Golden Bachelor may have ended with a Golden Divorce, the show still offered a refreshing reminder that seniors are full of life and deserving of fun, friendship, and romance. We have no doubt that The Golden Bachelorette will do the same, so you don’t want to miss a moment of its debut season.

Curious when The Golden Bachelorette premieres on ABC? What time The Golden Bachelorette is on? How to watch The Golden Bachelorette live on ABC and Hulu? Or who’s who this season? Here’s everything to know about watching Joan Vassos’ first night in the Bachelor Mansion.
