Because at our age, we don’t have a lot of time to waste,” Turner said. “So as soon as we can put together a wedding plan, we’re getting married.”
It’s no surprise to see The Golden Bachelor receive continued focus from ABC, given the powerhouse performance that the show has put in for the network ever since its premiere episode, which set ratings records for ABC, also debuting as the highest-rated premiere on Hulu for any series in The Bachelor franchise.
The Bachelor shows are produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon. Up next for airing is Season 28 of the flagship series, following Joey Graziadei, the tennis pr still in pursuit of love after being dumped by
