‘Golden Bachelor’ Gets Season 2 Premiere Date and It’s Sooner Than You Think — Find Out More

Ready to ride off into the sunset.

Bachelor Nation fans are currently watching Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise” unfold each week as both our younger cast and Golden cast look for love on the beaches of Costa Rica.

Amid all the excitement around “Paradise,” we are also gearing up for the second season of “The Golden Bachelor.”

After the massive success and emotional resonance of Season 1, which introduced viewers to a heartwarming new chapter of love later in life, ABC officially announced the return of the beloved spin-off. And the best part? It’s arriving sooner than expected.

In April, host Jesse Palmer shared that 66-year-old former NFL player-turned-lawyer Mel Owens is our new leading man.

And now, Jesse just revealed the premiere date for Mel’s journey.

In a new Instagram video on “The Golden Bachelor” account, the host said, “Psst, Bachelor Nation… Ready for the latest on the Golden Bachelor? Wednesday September 24.”

That’s right — Season 2 premieres on Wednesday, September 24, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, with episodes available for streaming later on Hulu.
