The Bachelor Season 28 Premiere Date Won't Be Surprising
It looks like the new season will arrive on time.
ABC's The Bachelor is preparing to launch its long-awaited new season, but fans are already a little worried. With the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes showing no signs of stopping, people fear that the network may delay the release of the upcoming Season 28, as the reality show still relies heavily on writing.
However, the network is apparently confident that the new season will arrive on time. It looks like the writers have already done their part in creating the episodes, and since there are no professional actors involved, the production for Season 28 can kick off as per schedule.
In addition, ABC has revealed that The Bachelorette contestant Joey Graziadei will be the new Bachelor, and viewers are more than excited to see this gorgeous man return to their screens. The professional tennis player was heartbroken when Bachelorette Charity Lawson chose another man in the finale, and making Joey the big star of the original reality show just felt right.
But when will fans finally see Joey find love and a possible future wife?
While ABC has yet to release an official release date for Season 28, analysts are quite sure that it will stick to a proven schedule for the upcoming installment. For the past 15 seasons, The Bachelor seasons have premiered in the early weeks of January, and that tradition will most likely be preserved for Joey.
It looks like Season 28 will arrive on ABC in the early weeks of 2024. Of course, fans are more than happy about that, as starting the year with some good old-fashioned Bachelor drama has been a staple for more than a decade at this point.
So far, the producers have not revealed the names of the contestants vying for Joey's heart. However, the lineup of contestants has been nothing short of stunning in recent seasons, so fans are sure the upcoming installment will be just as satisfying in that respect.
Considering that ABC has been forced to postpone much of its scripted programming due to the ongoing strikes, the network's reality shows would have to be top-notch to attract decent viewership. That certainly means that Joey Graziadei-led Season 28 of The Bachelor will be an exciting watch when it premieres early January 2024.
