Season chronology

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

Graziadei was the runner-up on the 20th season of The Bachelorette featuring Charity Lawson.[3]

Production

Casting and contestants

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.[2] He then met his first contestant, Lea.[4]

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.

Filming and development

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]

On September 8, 2023, Graziadei and the production crew were reported at the Collegeville Italian Bakery Pizzeria Napoletana in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, to film introductory footage for the season.[5] Filming officially began on September 19, 2023, in Agoura Hills, California.[6] In October 2023, filming was reported at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Jasper, Alberta.[7] 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.[8]

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

Contestants

32 potential contestants, including a set of sisters, were revealed on September 16, 2023.[10]
