Fans can't stop talking about The Golden Bachelor

The usual contestants and bachelors of the franchise are in their 20s or sometimes in their early 30s. Fans are therefore very excited to watch the new show where all of the cast members will be of a senior age and will try to find love in their own "pure" way.


About The Golden Bachelor season 1

ABC's description of the show reads:

"On this all-new unscripted series, one hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life. The women arriving at the mansion have a lifetime of experience, living through love, loss and laughter, hoping for a spark that ignites a future full of endless possibilities. In the end, will our Golden man turn the page to start a new chapter with the woman of his dreams?"

After going on many dates, the bachelor of the season will choose one woman as his new partner, while others will go home with no romantic prospects. In an interview with Variety, Disney’s TV executive Rob Mills revealed that in the hometown dates, the bachelor will meet their romantic interests’ children instead of their parents. It has been hinted that some of the contestants are widowed, divorced, or have never been in love.


ABC has not announced the official release date of The Golden Bachelor, but the show will premiere on ABC, sometime between September to November 2023 on a Monday. Fans will be able to stream the same on Hulu after the television premiere.
