ABC’s upcoming series, “The Golden Bachelorette,” features Joan Vassos as its inaugural lead, a 61-year-old school administrator. Previously a contestant on “The Golden Bachelor,” she left the show early due to a family emergency, but expressed unfinished business with Gerry Turner. This announcement came during Disney’s Upfront presentation. The show is set to air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, preceding “Abbott Elementary.” Notably, this season replaces “Bachelor in Paradise,” moving directly into the 20th season of “The Bachelorette.” The entire franchise, including this new addition, is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television. This decision reflects a broader strategy for ABC, which aims to maintain viewer engagement with its robust slate of reality programming.
