The Golden Bachelorette Series is Being Developed
A golden girl will soon be the star of a new senior dating series called The Golden Bachelorette, which is a spinoff of The Golden Bachelor. The show is set to premiere this fall, as announced by ABC on Feb. 10 at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif.
The most recent season of The Golden Bachelor featured 72-year-old star Gerry Turner and winner 70-year-old Theresa Nist, who tied the knot on the live televised special The Golden Wedding. Many members of Bachelor Nation attended the wedding, with their co-star Susan Noles officiating the ceremony.
“After a historic first season watching Gerry and Theresa find love on The Golden Bachelor,” ABC stated, “this all-new iteration of the hit series will highlight one radiant woman’s second chance at love in her golden years.”
The debut season of The Golden Bachelor reached 43.4 million total viewers after 35 days of viewing across linear and streaming platforms. It was ranked as the No. 1 new unscripted series this season among adults 18-49 and marked ABC’s No. 1 unscripted series premiere ever on Hulu.
