'The Golden Bachelor': How to Watch on Sling TV + Preview
'The Golden Bachelor' is a new twist on the franchise: Senior singles. Meet the 'Golden Boy', plus how to watch live with Sling TV.
After a combined 60 seasons of the Bachelor franchise (and, presumably, a forest’s worth of rose bushes), the new senior-focused spin-off The Golden Bachelor is the first to tackle romance in advanced age. But beyond its decades-apart age difference, there are many other ways the new show – which premieres Thursday, Sep. 28 at 8pm ET on ABC – promises to be refreshingly unique.

Who is the Golden Bachelor?

The show’s “Golden” boy is 72-year-old Gerry Turner, a retired restaurateur and grandgirl dad of two daughters and two granddaughters (in the video above, it looks like he’s a pretty good ATV rider as well). In 2017, shortly after moving into his “dream house” on a lake in Indiana, he lost his highschool sweetheart and wife of 43 years, but Turner is once again looking for love, with the full support of his family.
Who are the Women?
The 22 "Golden Girls" range in age from 60 to 75, and a number of them also experienced the loss of a spouse after a long marriage. Most of the women also have kids and/or grandkids of their own, and many of them are still working, including: April (65) a therapist who “dreams of writing a bestselling book”; Leslie (64) a fitness instructor whose “best concerts” list includes Lady Gaga and Post Malone; and Marina (60) an educator from Los Angeles who “doesn’t stand in line.”
When Does The Golden Bachelor Air?
New episodes air Thursdays at 8pm ET on ABC.
