Bachelor Nation is reaching out to an older crowd with a new spinoff called “The Golden Bachelor,” which is expected to premiere this fall.

ABC describes this new installment of the franchise as showcasing “a whole new kind of love story – one for the golden years.”

The series will follow a man given a second chance at love as he searches for a new partner in the mansion. The leading man has yet to be announced, but the network posted a 92-question application for anyone 65 years and older looking for love.

The news of a 'Bachelor' spinoff comes alongside the announcement that ABC is planning to stack its Fall 2023 primetime lineup with tons of unscripted fare, due to potential impacts of the ongoing WGA writers strike. So get ready for a lot of “Bachelor,” “Jeopardy!,” “Shark Tank,” and “Judge Steve Harvey' alongside “Abbott Elementary” reruns.
