“Bachelor in Paradise” is back for its milestone tenth season on Monday, July 7th!

More of the cast of the landmark tenth season of the hit ABC series Bachelor in Paradise have been revealed – and these additions are sure to be… golden.

What’s Happening:

  • Nearly two years since the last tropical rendezvous, Bachelor in Paradise returns to ABC with a cast of standouts and fan favorites from The Bachelor franchise for its milestone tenth season.
  • This season, in addition to the previously announced younger cast members, we’ll also get the first-ever participants from The Golden Bachelor and Bachelorette – who bring their experience and a little extra spice to show the younger crowd how it’s done.
  • Host Jesse Palmer and in-house bartender Wells Adams return, bringing contestants to a brand-new beach in Costa Rica for a second (or third) shot at love.
  • Fan-favorite Hannah Brown joins to spice things up as head of Paradise Relations and introduce the all-new Champagne Lounge.
  • The new season of Bachelor in Paradise premieres Monday, July 7th (8:00-10:02 p.m. EDT) on ABC, streaming the next day on Hulu.

Drama in Paradise:

  • While the shows of The Bachelor franchise are no stranger to drama – it’s in the nature of the shows – more drama has been coming from behind the scenes as of late.
  • The Bachelor showrunners Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner recently exited the franchise amidst allegations of a toxic workplace environment.
  • Back in February, it was announced that The Bachelorette would not be returning for its 2025 cycle, leading to many crew members losing their jobs.
