Shock setback for the upcoming Samantha Armytage series The Golden Bachelor – as producers scout potential suitors at RETIREMENT HOMES
Unexpected difficulties have arisen during the open auditions for Samantha Armytage’s forthcoming Channel Nine dating series, The Golden Bachelor.
The forthcoming series shares its title with a well-known American program and focuses on individuals aged sixty and above, all seeking a second opportunity for romance.
On the other hand, it’s been disclosed that Warner Bros encountered some complications during their search for mature individuals seeking romance in their casting process.

Many people can’t perform the task themselves because they neither have an iPhone nor a computer, having learned about the show through news reports.
The source shared that they needed to modify the auditioning procedure to broaden the range of possible candidates.
As a dedicated admirer, I can tell you that at first, the response to our applications was relatively sluggish. However, I’ve been working tirelessly to encourage nominations of grandparents, and it seems my efforts have paid off! The interest is certainly picking up now.
They contacted retirement homes throughout the nation to determine whether any elderly individuals might be interested in a highly visible opportunity to find romance.
The Golden Bachelor provides an opportunity for individuals aged 50 and above to rediscover romance, with the series set to debut on Channel Nine in 2025.
It emerged in November that The Golden Bachelor has been searching for participants using an unconventional method.
At the Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, a representative from Channel Nine’s talent search team was seen distributing contact information to event attendees.
According to the Daily Telegraph, casting agent Ivanna Tang chose an unconventional approach by trying to attract horse race attendees for the upcoming spin-off series.
The producers are reportedly working diligently behind the curtains, auditioning suitable candidates for the role of “The Bachelor.” They’re optimistic that they’ll make a decision about the main actor within the next few weeks.
In Australia, The Golden Bachelor’s broadcasting rights have been obtained by Nine, while Samantha is set to serve as the host of this popular reality dating series.
Samantha got involved with the casting call, urging people to give their family members a ‘nudge’.
In August, television host Samantha surprised viewers by leaving Seven Network after 21 years. There was much speculation about what she might do next.
At Nine’s Upfronts event in November, her upcoming role on The Golden Bachelor TV show for the year 2025 was revealed to an exclusive gathering of invited guests. This was when the television network presented its planned schedule for that year.
In her video interview with 9Entertainment, Samantha expressed her belief that everyone will find it delightful. She was referring to a nostalgic affection for a bygone era.
When I received the invitation to participate in the show, I jumped at the chance. Given the massive success of The Golden Bachelor in America, I sense it will also become popular in Australia.
Nine is absolutely delighted to introduce Samantha Armytage as the new host for our reality dating series, The Golden Bachelor. Everyone merits a second opportunity at love, and this is what we aim to provide, according to Nine’s Chief Marketing Officer, Liana Dubois.
Warner Bros Australia initiated whispers about a homegrown version of the show in November 2023 by issuing a call for “entertaining, energetic, and sociable male seniors aged 60 or above who are single (divorced/widowed)” to participate in a fresh dating series.
Initially, the American adaptation of The Golden Bachelor introduced Gerry Turner, a 72-year-old father of two who had lost his spouse, as its lead character. Subsequently, the Golden Bachelorette debuted featuring Joan Vassos, a 61-year-old widow, in search of romance.
As a die-hard fan, I’ve got to say, the U.S. edition of this show has truly taken off! Its grand finale drew an impressive 6.1 million viewers, marking the highest viewership for an American Bachelor finale since 2021 – talk about making history!
