New Season Of ABC's 'The Bachelor' Filming In Collegeville

COLLEGEVILLE, PA — With a Collegeville native starring as the lead on the upcoming season of ABC's "The Bachelor," it comes as no surprise that key scenes of the show are being filmed locally.

But details have emerged that should intrigue fans and locals alike. Exact filming locations aren't often known until after the filming has occurred, or when the show itself airs.

But footage for the upcoming season will be filmed on Friday, Sept. 8 at the Collegeville Bakery, located on 346 Ridge Pike.

Joey Graziade, 28, Collegeville native, graduate of Spring-Ford and West Chester University, is the lead. He gained fame as the runner-up on this summer's season 20 of "Bachelorette." That's another way of saying he was the second choice (out of of dozens) of the show's leading woman, Charity Lawson.

Now, the tennis player and instructor who lives in Hawaii gets a second chance.

The Bakery said that the community is welcome to join for the filming.

"Will you accept this rose? Let’s show the nation how Collegeville rolls," the bakery shared in a statement.

Graziade's season will not air until early 2024, likely the first Monday of January.
