While “The Golden Bachelor” resulted in a marriage that ended in divorce, ABC continues the “Golden” franchise with hopes for a lasting love story. Pairing “The Golden Bachelorette” with the true-crime docuseries “Scamanda” creates a compelling Wednesday night lineup.

“Abbott Elementary” returns on Wednesdays at 9:30 PM EDT/PDT, allowing a full hour for the “Golden Bachelorette.” ABC aims to leverage the “Bachelor” audience and lead them into the acclaimed sitcom.
