The Bachelor and Bachelorette are some of the most followed reality TV shows every year. The concept of one person trying to find love among a sea of potential suitors has sparked many different spinoffs. One direct spinoff that garnered a lot of attention last year was The Golden Bachelor, which was essentially just The Bachelor for the older generation.
The success of that first season has naturally brought along its inevitable counterpart, The Golden Bachelorette. Season 1 will be following 61-year-old Joan Vassos as she searches for love.
When Can You Watch The Golden Bachelorette
The first episode of The Golden Bachelorette premieres today, September 18 at 8pm ET / PT on ABC. The first episode will be two hours long. All episodes will be available to stream on Hulu the day after they air live.
Where to Stream Live Online
If you have access to live TV channels, perhaps with the help of a TV antenna, you can simply tune in to ABC to watch the first episode live. If you're hoping to watch the series online, you can also watch it live at ABC.com. Having access to a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV, Sling, or fuboTV will also allow you to tune in directly from those streaming services without the need for cable or an antenna.
How to Watch From Anywhere
If you are trying to watch The Golden Bachelorette from another country, you may find that you can't access the show from the usual places. If you're in the UK or Australia, it doesn't look like an official service available will have the episodes available. You can always make use of one of the best VPNs for streaming to access the series through usual streaming services. Our top pick for this is ExpressVPN, which we've tested and reviewed for Hulu.
Who Is Joan Vassos?
You may recognize Joan from her appearance on Gerry's season of The Golden Bachelor last year. She had to leave after the first few episodes to be with her daughter, who had just recently had a baby. Now she is coming back as the Golden Bachelorette and everyone is taking a closer look at the life she's lead so far.
Vassos was previously married for 32 years to her husband John, who passed away back in 2021 after battling cancer. She is a mother to four kids and grandmother to three grandchildren. At 61, Joan is still working as a private school administrator in Rockville, Maryland.
