THE GOLDEN BACHELORETTE
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 18, 8/7c, ABC
Being open and vulnerable was very uncomfortable. It took time [to get there], but it's exactly what you need to be when you're looking for love," says Joan Vassos. Fine romantic advice in general, but for Vassos, America's premier single senior, it was imperative for her journey on The Golden Bachelorette. The first-ever star of the new franchise feels "a lot of pressure. Being an O.G. is kind of epic. I hope I did it right."
The 61-year-old widowed mother, grandmother and former school administrator famously left the first installment of The Golden Bachelor in 2023 to help her postpartum daughter, just when Vassos and the guy with all the roses, Gerry Turner, were hitting it off.
"Seeing Joan's journey with Gerry cut short due to her commitments inspired us to give her that second chance," says Bennett Graebner, an executive producer, along with Claire Freeland. Joan's decision to leave, Freeland says, shows how much "she's a caregiver. I've never seen someone so courteous, so kind, so generous with time and being a listener."
Vassos did some serious listening a month before taping of the sister franchise began. She'd remained good friends with Gerry and asked for advice. She shares, "He said to be open, give everybody a chance, find out what they value.

THE CHOSEN
It's a bumpy start for Jesus (Jonathan Roumie) and His followers in the fourth season of the Bible-based historical drama. They're about to face rougher terrain-and we're not talking about sleeping arrangements on the road. Jesus' cousin, preacher John the Baptizer (David Amito), has been executed by King Herod (Paul Ben-Victor), and the group is reeling from that loss. In September 8's episode, Jesus declared apostle Simon (Shahar Isaac) is now \"Peter,\" the rock of the group. They're going to need him for what's to come.
FOUND
The chains are now off in the cat-andmouse game at the center of this perpetually taut NBC thriller. In Season 1, public relations specialist Gabi (Shanola Hampton) held her former kidnapper, Hugh Evans, aka Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), captive in her basement and used him to help her team find missing people.
ELSBETH
Carrie Preston has played quirky, brilliant Elsbeth Tascioni for 14 years, through memorable appearances on The Good Wife, The Good Fight and now this warmhearted mystery. Viewers can't seem to get enough of this over-the-top Chicago defense attorney turned NYPD police consultant-and unofficial detective.
FBI
Last season ended with Special Agent Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) completely spent after a harrowing struggle to track down and finally kill the terrorist who murdered fellow agent and friend Hobbs (Roshawn Franklin).
