It’s official! The Golden Bachelor Australia is coming to screens in 2025.
The hit US franchise is finally here to offer our local hopefuls a chance at finding their forever love – whether for the first time, or once again.
The show is scheduled for release next year, with Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage announced as the reality show’s host and personal guide for whomever takes on the role of The Golden Bachelor.
Appearing on Today to talk about The Golden Bachelor Australia, including what audiences can expect from the wholesome franchise, Armytage spoke about its unique position in the world of reality TV.
“This is for people who are looking for love again. I kind of love that – these are people with life experience, and it’s totally fascinating.”
“We’re looking for a happy fairytale ending.”
Who Will Be Australia’s Golden Bachelor?
While Armytage mentioned that there might be a few names floating around The Golden Bachelor Australia rumour mill, the show is still searching for its silver fox star.
“What we’re looking for is a Golden Bachelor most likely in his sixties, and some ladies who will be in their 50s or 60s – we’ll work this out as we go, as we’re casting now.”
Armytage joined producers in a casting call earlier this week, where anyone interested in finding love was encouraged to apply.
What Is The Golden Bachelor?
The Golden Bachelor first premiered in the US in 2023, and was centred around providing a platform to older contestants who may have, through various reasons, been unlucky in love or in search of someone to spend their golden years with.
Its first bachelor, 72-year-old widower Gerry Turner proved to be a wildly popular casting choice, skyrocketing The Bachelor franchise into its most watched series to date.
Where Can I Watch The Series In Australia?
The Golden Bachelor is coming to Channel 9 in 2025, so will be available to watch free-to-air as soon as a release date has been announced.
Until then, we’ll keep you updated here.
