Things will not be staying Golden for too much longer, Bachelor Nation. While I’d love to watch Gerry Turner chase long-lasting love for the rest of time, the OG Bachelor must, and will, return. In fact, season 28 has already commenced filming—and there’s a lot to know about what goes down.
ICYMI, the season 28 Bachelor will be Joey Graziadei, the super-sweet runner-up from Charity Lawson’s season. Joey is originally from Pennsylvania, but he’s since moved to Hawaii—where he currently lives.
His upcoming wives-to-be include a pair of sisters, and even an actress—which means drama is certainly going to be coming down the pipeline. Luckily, Reality Steve has already got a bit of an inside scoop on what happens this season.

***ALERT: Bachelor Season 28 Spoilers Ahead!!!***
When does Joey’s season of The Bachelor come out?
There’s no official air date quite yet, but if this season follows the normal schedule, you can expect it as early as January 2024. The Golden Bachelor is only on episode 4, so there’s a decent amount to get through before Joey takes center stage.
Who are the contestants for Joey Graziadei’s season?
Joey’s season includes 32 women from all over the country. There are already a few to keep your eyes on this season—including Daisy Kent, Kelsey Toussant, Maria Gorgas, Rachel Nance, Kelsey Anderson, and Jenn Tran (read on for why that is).
Joey’s season also, interestingly, includes a pair of sisters, Lauren and Allison Hollinger.
Here’s a list of the contestants:
- Autumn Waggoner
- Erika Cardenas
- Jessica Edwards
- Natalie Crepeau
- Starr Skyler
- Katelyn DeBacker
- Chrissa Perez
- Alexandra “Lexi” Young
- Lea Cayanan
- Madina Alam

- Kayla Rodgers
- Samantha Hale
- Taylor Wiens
- Talyah Jackson
- Sandra Rabadi

What does Joey Graziadei do for a living?
The 28-year-old leading man is a tennis pro—so here’s hoping there’s more than a few dates on the court in the upcoming season. He’s also a total family man, which means hometowns will be super interesting, too.
Who gets Joey’s first impression rose?
This might be one of the best first impression moments in Bachelor history (and that’s saying something!). Lea Cayanan first met Joey during The Bachelorette‘s After The Final Rose episode. Reality Steve reported that Lea was given a letter by Joey to open on opening night of Joey’s season.
When the day came, she opened the letter—which revealed she had the opportunity to steal a one-on-one date from any of the other women at any time during the season.
This content is imported from poll. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
Instead of relishing in the unbelievable power she had just been handed, she burned the letter. Later, Lea told Joey she wanted to be chosen by him for a date, rather than stealing one. This earned her the first impression rose, per Reality Steve.
Where has Joey’s season of The Bachelor filmed?
All over. Buckle your seatbelts—because it’s back to gallivanting around the globe for the upcoming Bachelor season. Reality Steve reports the group has been to Malta, Spain, and Canada (Montreal and Jasper).
The group will also, obviously, spend some time in California. In fact, Steve spotted Joey on a pretty public one-on-one date with Daisy Kent in September. Plus, we’ll likely see some hometown dates fairly soon. According to Reality Steve, they’ll start filming those episodes on Oct. 24.
What other spoilers are there for Joey’s Bachelor season?
Reality Steve has been able to relay a bit of info about the upcoming dates for Joey’s season. In episode 5, a few women enjoy a dinner outside Iglesia De Santa Maria in Marbella, Spain.
Then, in episode 6, the group flies to Canada for a street hockey date in Montreal. Steve also reports that Maria and Kelsey Toussant recieve one-on-one dates during this episode. And, at the moment, the group is filming episode 7 at Jasper Lodge in Canada. Apparently, there will be a polar plunge in this episode. Brr.
Who are Joey’s final six?
Drum roll please… Joey’s final six are Daisy Kent, Kelsey Toussant, Maria Gorgas, Rachel Nance, Kelsey Anderson, and Jenn Tran.
Is there a Bachelor Season 28 trailer?
Not yet!
Who makes it to hometowns for Joey’s season?
Sadly, the final six is as close to the winner as Reality Steve has gotten so far, but stay tuned for more Bachelor deets.
January can’t come soon enough. In the meantime, I will be soaking in all the Golden Bachelor moments I can.
