The Bachelor Season 28 Cast: Meet the Women Including a Pair of Sisters Vying fo

There are 32 women ready to find The One — and hoping it’s the Season 28 Bachelor Joey Graziadei. In the new season of ABC’s “The Bachelor,” set to premiere on Jan. 22, the most women ever to arrive at the mansion on night one have their sights on Graziadei.

The 28-year-old teaching tennis pro, who had his heart broken by Charity Lawson on Season 20 of “The Bachelorette,” is hoping to find someone who can align with his family values and desire to find an outgoing life partner. As someone who enjoys the outdoors, he’s looking for someone who can join his adventures — and she could be among the bunch below. (There are a few that list hiking in their interests, after all!)

For the first time, a set of sisters are competing; while this isn’t their first time dating the same man, it is the first time they’re dating the same guy at the same time. The teasers have been teasing an “unprecedented shocking first,” so could they be involved in that? Only time will tell.

“The Bachelor” is produced by Warner Bros. TV. Claire Freeland, Jason Ehrlich, Bennett Graebner, Peter Gust, Tim Warner, Jodi Baskerville and Jeff Thomas serve as executive producers.
