The Golden Bachelor surprised Bachelor Nation by airing two back-to-back episodes of Mel Owens’ Season 2 on premiere night. So two weeks into the sophomore season of the senior spin-off, we’re technically three episodes deep!
On top of the surprise double episode drop, as other ABC series return with their fall premieres, The Golden Bachelor‘s schedule is also set to shift. Before we share updates on when The Golden Bachelor‘s next new episode will premiere, though, let’s get a sense of what The Golden Bachelor Season 2, Episode 3 has in store, shall we?
“As Mel’s journey to find love continues, 12 women take the stage at the historic Bellwether Theater for a no-holds-barred comedy roast, co-hosted by comedian Jared Freid, where only the funniest earns a one-on-one dinner with Mel,” The Golden Bachelor Season 2, Episode 3 synopsis reads. “Next, one lucky lady is whisked away for a culinary adventure with Mel at Hollywood’s famed Petit Trois, featuring a private cooking lesson with Michelin-starred chef Ludo Lefebvre. Later, just as the women settle in for a quiet night at the mansion, a surprise knock at the door brings Kathy and Susan from The Golden Bachelor Season 1, who host an unforgettable slumber party filled with matching PJs, spicy truth or dare, and heartfelt advice that could change everything. With emotions rising and connections deepening, the women head into a high-stakes cocktail party where some take bold risks to make their move, but not everyone is ready to see Mel getting close with someone else.”

Listen up, Bachelor Nation! Since two returning series — Shifting Gears Season 2 and Abbott Elementary Season 5— are premiering on ABC this Wednesday, The Golden Bachelor has a new time slot.
Last week, The Golden Bachelor Season 2 premiered at 8:00 p.m. ET, but this week, on Wednesday, October 1, The Golden Bachelor will premiere on ABC at 9:00 p.m. ET, following half-hour installments of Shifting Gears and Abbott.
While The Golden Bachelor‘s Season 2 premiere was two hours long, Episode 3 will only last one hour, from 9:00 p.m. ET to 10:00 p.m. ET. While things may change later in the season, for the foreseeable future, this hour-long slot appears to be The Golden Bachelor‘s new premiere time.
