Gerry Turner’s quest for love will mark a number of firsts for The Bachelor franchise.
As beforehand reported, Turner will lead ABC’s first senior version of the relationship collection.
Appropriately titled The Golden Bachelor, viewers will watch because the 71-year-old dates 20 girls, fingers out some roses, and picks a life-long accomplice at the top of the method.
What may probably go fallacious?
We’re not fully positive, but we can be seated to test if the collection provides the franchise the jolt of life it desperately wants.
ABC’s newest teaser makes loads of feedback about how issues get higher with age.
“In life, good things take time, and this love story is worth the wait.”
“I don’t always date 20 women at once… but I’m about to,” Gerry says because the digicam reveals our Golden Bachelor.
The new entry within the franchise will give Gerry “a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life,” the fact TV present’s official logline reads.
“The women arriving at the mansion have a lifetime of experience, living through love, loss and laughter, hoping for a spark that ignites a future full of endless possibilities.”
“In the end, will our Golden man turn the page to start a new chapter with the woman of his dreams?”
If it performs effectively, it is an attention-grabbing spin on the unique collection and will result in The Golden Bachelorette.
Unfortunately, the collection comes at a time that the franchise’s recognition is dwindling.
The Bachelorette Season 20’s numbers this summer time are hardly encouraging, but ABC wants content material for the autumn, and unscripted content material is the one means ahead as a result of SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
ABC is giving the present a strong lead-in in Dancing With the Stars, but it is unclear whether or not followers can be curious about sticking round for this new iteration.
