‘Golden Bachelorette’ Spinoff Confirmed, ‘Bachelorette’ Renewed
ABC has finally confirmed a Golden Bachelorette spinoff and renewed The Bachelorette for another season. What do we know so far? Keep reading for all the details.
Golden Bachelorette Spinoff Confirmed
Gerry Turner made history in the Bachelor Nation franchise as the oldest Bachelor lead. He was the center of the first-ever senior dating version of the popular dating show.
The Golden Bachelor debuted in September 2023 to huge fanfare. The excitement from Bachelor Nation was reflected in the ratings.
Viewers immediately started begging for a female-led spinoff, but ABC stayed mum on the rumors. Until now.
They confirmed at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour that a Golden Bachelorette spinoff is happening!
Who Could Star?
The first season of the Golden Bachelorette spinoff will air this fall. Does that mean there won’t be a second season of Golden Bachelor as rumored? ABC’s fall schedule is pretty packed.
Variety notes that while unconfirmed, Dancing With The Stars is expected to return for Season 33.
It seems everyone has an opinion on who should be the first Golden Bachelorette. ABC didn’t reveal who will get the coveted role.
The gig usually goes to a previous contestant. Gerry Turner’s runners-up, Leslie Fhima or Faith Martin, seem the obvious choice.
However, Golden Bachelor contestant Susan Noles has amassed almost a million followers on Instagram and recently made headlines for her head-turning modeling debut.
There’s always a chance the network will look outside the franchise for the lead. One recent rumor puts soap star Susan Lucci in the Bachelor mansion for a second chance at love.
The Bachelorette Renewed For Season 21
ABC did share more Bachelor Nation news at the press event. The Bachelorette will return this summer with Season 21.
Season 20 season saw the successful engagement of Charity Lawson and Dotun Olubeko. The couple are currently planning a wedding for next year after her stint on Dancing With The Stars.
The Season 21 lead will likely be one of Joey Graziadei’s contestants. His journey to love on Season 28 of The Bachelor just started airing in January, so it may be a few months before ABC announces the next Bachelorette lead.
Are you excited for a Golden Bachelorette spinoff? Who do you think should lead the first season?
