List of episodes

The twenty-eighth season of The Bachelor premiered on January 22, 2024.[1] This season features 28-year-old Joey Graziadei, a teaching tennis pro from Royersford, Pennsylvania.[2]

Casting and contestants

[edit]

On August 21, 2023, Graziadei was announced as the Bachelor by Jesse Palmer during the After the Final Rose special of the 20th season of The Bachelorette.[4] He then met his first contestant, Lea.[5]

Notable contestants include Miami Dolphins Cheerleader Samantha Washington, who was crowned Miss Nebraska Teen USA 2017 and is the daughter of retired NFL safety Brian Washington, Marlena Haddad, who was previously an aide for former president Donald Trump, and Maria Georgas, who appeared in the 2005 Disney movie The Pacifier as one of the fireflies girl scouts.[6][7][8]

Filming and development

[edit]

Much like the previous season, there was a three-week delay from its standard first week of January start to avoid a potential clash with ABC's coverage of Monday Night Football.[1]

Filming began on September 19, 2023, in Agoura Hills, California.[9] In October 2023, filming was reported at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Jasper, Alberta. This was previously set to be the filming location of season 17 of The Bachelorette in February 2021, but the season was relocated due to travel restrictions enforced by the Canadian government as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

This season also includes visits to Mdina, Malta; Marbella, Spain; and Montreal, Quebec, with filming concluding in Tulum, Mexico in mid-November.[9][11][12]

Musicians Michael Bolton, Bahamas, and Feist; former contestants Demi Burnett and Jubilee Sharpe; The Golden Bachelor contestants April Kirkwood, Kathy Swarts, Leslie Fhima, Nancy Hulkower, Sandra Mason, and Susan Noles; and retired professional tennis players James Blake and Pam Shriver made guest appearances this season.[13][14][15]

Contestants

[edit]

32 potential contestants, including a set of sisters, were revealed on September 16, 2023.[16]

The final cast was announced on December 20, 2023. Unlike previous seasons, there were no cuts prior to the start of the filming, and all 32 women made it into the final cast.[17]
