Synopsis

This fall, 24 distinguished men in their golden era will step into the spotlight, eager to find an ever-lasting love with Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos when “The Golden Bachelorette” premieres Wednesday, September 18 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. Watch episodes on Hulu the day following their premieres.

Joan is a remarkable woman whose life has been defined by her resilience, zest for adventure and strong family values. It was those family values that led to her heartbreaking decision to leave “The Golden Bachelor,” self-eliminating after a medical concern with her daughter arose. Despite that and other challenges she’s faced along the way — including the heartbreaking loss of her husband after 32 years of marriage — Joan remains an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of three, and school administrator while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog and cooking. Now, as she steps into the golden spotlight and begins her journey to seek love once more, Joan envisions a future filled with shared moments by the beach and cherished time with family.
