After winning hearts across America, The Golden Bachelor is coming back—this time with new faces, new love stories, and a renewed sense of adventure for life after 60.
A Second Season, A Second Chance
ABC has greenlit a second season of the hit senior dating show, following the emotional success of its first. Production is expected to begin in June 2025 and continue through August, as confirmed by casting calls that recently opened up for participants over 60.
This time around, the show promises even deeper stories and more genuine connections. The network says it’s seeking “vivacious, adventurous seniors looking for love, companionship, or simply a new chapter.”
Who Could Be the Next Golden Bachelor?
Though ABC hasn’t officially confirmed the new lead, fans are already buzzing with predictions. Among those at the center of speculation:
-
Mark Anderson, dubbed “America’s Silver Fox,” who made waves as Kelsey’s dad on The Bachelor.
-
Jordan Heller, a charming and introspective presence from The Golden Bachelorette.
-
Charles Ling, whose poetic approach to romance captured audiences last season.
Whether it’s one of these gentlemen or a brand-new face, fans are eager to meet the next man ready to hand out golden roses.
Premiere Prediction: Fall 2025
If the first season’s timeline is any indication, we can expect Season 2 to air in the fall—likely around September or October. ABC is keeping premiere details under wraps, but insiders hint that it will return to Thursday primetime.
Not Just a Show, But a Movement
The Golden Bachelor has become more than just entertainment—it’s a celebration of late-in-life love, hope, and courage. The first season broke ratings records and sparked conversations about age, romance, and the idea that it’s never too late to fall in love again.
With Season 2 on the horizon, fans are preparing for another journey of laughter, tears, and unexpected connections.
