The Golden Bachelor is back, and so is former Bachelorette star and franchise host Kaitlyn Bristowe.
ABC’s official description for The Golden Bachelor Episode 3 teases “a whirlwind week for Gerry Turner,” complete with one-on-one time with two women and a group date featuring Jesse Palmer and Bristowe. “His feelings are growing stronger every day, which only makes handing out roses more difficult,” the description reads. And I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure I can watch Gerry shed many more tears without breaking down right alongside him! This man is so precious!
Curious if The Golden Bachelor is on tonight, October 12? Wondering when you can watch The Golden Bachelor Episode 3? Or trying to find out how to watch The Golden Bachelor live on ABC or on Hulu? We’ve got you covered.
Here’s everything to know about The Golden Bachelor Episode 3.
Wondering when you can watch more of Gerry Turner and his Golden Girls at the Bachelor Mansion? The Golden Bachelor Episode 3 premieres Thursday, October 12 on ABC right before Bachelor in Paradise.
We’re sort of (not really) getting used to crossing “Bachelor Mondays” off our calendars. After years of the franchise sticking to Monday air dates, new episodes of The Golden Bachelor (and Bachelor in Paradise) will air on ABC Thursdays and be available to stream on Hulu every Friday until further notice.
Typically, shows in the Bachelor franchise air two-hour episodes, but The Golden Bachelor‘s episodes are only an hour long, running from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
As noted, The Golden Bachelor will air new episodes on ABC Thursdays from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ahead of a two-hour episode of Bachelor in Paradise.
Want to watch the Bachelor franchise’s Thursday night lineup live? If you have a cable subscription that includes ABC, you can watch The Golden Bachelor live by setting your TV to the proper channel a few minutes before new episodes air. You can also use your cable username and password to watch live ABC episodes live on ABC.com or with the ABC app. And if your cable package includes a DVR, you can always record live episodes for later viewing.
Don’t have cable? Don’t worry! There are other live viewing options, like live TV skinny bundles, which give you access to networks without cable. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and fuboTV, all come with ABC. But if you don’t have cable or a live TV skinny bundle, you can stream episodes the following day on Hulu.
Like other shows in the franchise, The Golden Bachelor episodes will be available for next-day streaming on Hulu. If an episode airs on ABC on Thursday, that means it will be available for next-day streaming on Friday.
You’ll need to be a Hulu subscriber in order to watch The Golden Bachelor the day after episodes air on ABC. The good news is you’ll have access to the episode with any version of the streaming service. The bad news? Starting October 12, Hulu is raising some of its prices. The streamer’s least expensive ad-supported plan costs $7.99 a month (or $79.99 a year), while its ad-free option is $17.99 a month. If you choose to add Live TV to your plan you can select an ad-supported Hulu + Live TV now with Disney+ and ESPN+ bundle for $76.99 a month or go ad-free for $89.99 a month.
