The audience for The Golden Bachelor finale has only continued to grow since Gerry Turner concluded his second-chance quest for love with an engagement last week.
After three days of viewing, the episode managed 6.95M linear viewers, according to Nielsen data. That’s the biggest audience for any series in the franchise since March 2020, when Peter Weber’s Season 24 of The Bachelor came to a stunning end.
The linear audience was up 12% in total viewers versus the week prior, according to live + 3-day Nielsen numbers. That marks the biggest week-to-week growth for the latest offering in the franchise.
When factoring in streaming viewership, the audience grew to 8.81M — which is also the most-watched multiplatform telecast since the Season 24 finale.
In terms of ratings, The Golden Bachelor finale managed a 1.84 among adults 18-49 after three days of cross-platform viewing, delivering the highest multiplatform rating since the series debuted in September.
Just over 6M people tuned in same-day to watch Turner get engaged, according to early Nielsen data from the morning after the episode aired. At the time, that marked a record for ABC as the largest same-day audience for the franchise since the season finale of The Bachelor in March 2021, when Matt James led Season 25.
The impressive finale ratings come after an entire season of success for The Golden Bachelor, which has been setting audience records for ABC and Hulu since it debuted.
ABC will be cashing in on this ratings success with the first Bachelor televised wedding in ages. Turner and his bride Theresa Nist will tie the knot on the network on January 4.
The Golden Bachelor is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon.
