Source-derived summary

The twenty-eighth season of The Bachelor premiered on January 22, 2024. This season features 28-year-old Joey Graziadei, a teaching tennis pro from Royersford, Pennsylvania.

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

The season concluded on March 25, 2024, with Graziadei choosing to propose to 25-year-old junior project manager Kelsey Anderson.

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. He then met his first contestant, Lea.

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, Marlena Haddad, who was previously an aide for president Donald Trump, and Maria Georgas, who appeared in the 2005 Disney movie The Pacifier as one of the fireflies girl scouts.

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.

Filming began on September 19, 2023, in Agoura Hills, California. In October 2023, filming was reported at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Jasper, Alberta.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “The Bachelor (American TV series) season 28” as season of television series. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2024, 2023, 2017, 2005—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Bachelor, American and series can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as season of television series. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122898536. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2023, 2017 and 2005.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
