“The Bachelor” has crowned Joey Graziadei as the franchise’s next leading man.

Joey will take the reins of the ABC reality dating show in 2024 for the 28th season of “The Bachelor,” the franchise announced during Monday’s finale of “The Bachelorette,” which followed Charity Lawson’s journey for love.

Hailing from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, the 28-year-old tennis pro first appeared on season 20 of “The Bachelorette,” where his relationship with Charity progressed through fantasy suites week into the finale, meanwhile secured a beloved spot for Joey in the hearts of many “Bachelor” fans. In a heart-wrenching breakup, Charity and Joey parted ways in the final episode of the season.

Prior to his departure, Joey confided in Charity about being inspired by his family to find a love that lasts. Now, as “The Bachelor,” Joey is “looking for a life partner who is outgoing, caring, and shares his love for adventure and exploring the outdoors,” per ABC. In his spare time, Joey enjoys hiking, surfing and watching the sunset.

The next season of “The Bachelor” will follow the fall premieres of “The Golden Bachelor,” which will be led by 71-year-old widower Gerry Turner, and “Bachelor in Paradise.” Both “The Golden Bachelor” and the new season of “Bachelor in Paradise” will premiere on Sept. 28 as the franchise turns to a new Thursday air time on ABC.

In the trailer for “Bachelor in Paradise,” in addition to previously announced beach-goer Brayden Bowers and Kat Izzo, other “Bachelor” Nation members heading to the beach include Aaron Bryant, Aaron Schwartzman, Jess Girod, Brooklyn Willie, Kylee Russell and Cat Wong. Former bachelorettes Rachel Recchia, Katie Thurston, Hannah Brown and Charity also make an appearance on the show, though it’s unknown if each of the women are just visitors or if one or more of them could be contestants.

Produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, “The Bachelor” is executive produced by Claire Freeland, Jason Ehrlich, Bennett Graebner, Peter Gust, Tim Warner, Jodi Baskerville and Jeff Thomas.

“The Bachelor” Season 28 will return to ABC in 2024, with new episodes available to stream on Hulu the day after their premiere.
