Bachelor In Paradise Season 10 Premiere Date & Shocking Casting Rumors Revealed Amid Golden Twists & Location Change (SPOILERS)

Bachelor In Paradise season 10 announced its premiere date amid some exciting announcements about changes to the show, as well as casting rumors. Bachelor In Paradise season 10 marks the return of the series after a one-year hiatus. This year, the Golden Bachelor franchise contestants will look for love on the beach as the show relocates from Mexico to Costa Rica. Host Jesse Palmer and bartender Wells Adams will return, as former Bachelorette Hannah Brown joins the cast in the new Champagne Lounge.

According to an Instagram post, Bachelor In Paradise season 10 will premiere on July 7, 2025 at 8 p.m. EDT. The post included a video of Jesse saying, "Hey, Bachelor Nation! Jesse here, and I cannot wait to see you in Paradise for new love, new drama, new location. We'll see you for an all-new season of Bachelor In Paradise on July 7. Can't wait to see you on the sand!" The caption of the post read, "7/7 sounds like heaven. See you in Costa Rica for a new season of #BachelorInParadise!"

Speaking of the upcoming season, Reality Steve revealed more names of possible cast members, including Clayton Echard, Kat Izzo, Spencer Conley, Andrew Spencer, and Ariel from Zach's season. Also, there will be 10 women from Grant Ellis' season of The Bachelor in the cast, though Greg Grippo will not be heading to Bachelor In Paradise. Keep in mind that these names have not been officially announced by ABC.

What Bachelor In Paradise’s Return Means For Franchise

Bachelor In Paradise Needed A Refresh

Bachelor In Paradise has led to many marriages over the years, but none of the couples from the past two seasons stayed together after the show, whether they left engaged or dating. This was most likely because of unnecessary twists that made it ever harder for them to get to know each other in the very short time that they had on the beach, including season 8's Split House twist, which separated the couples in order to test them.

Bachelor In Paradise's return will hopefully mean that the show has a much-needed refresh. With a new location in Costa Rica and the addition of the Golden contestants, it'll feel like a whole new show, and that's going to be a good thing. Hopefully, Bachelor In Paradise's year-long break allowed the producers to work out its problems and that season 10 will lead to some lasting love connections.

So far, The Bachelorette season 21's Jonathon Johnson and Hakeem Moulton, The Bachelor season 29's Zoe McGrady, The Golden Bachelor runner-up Leslie Fhima, and The Golden Bachelorette's Gary Levingston have been confirmed as contestants. Now fans have Reality Steve's casting rumors to ponder until more names are officially revealed.

Our Take On Bachelor In Paradise Returning This Summer

The Golden Element Will Be Interesting To Watch

Bachelor In Paradise used to be my favorite series from the Bachelor franchise, but it became increasingly harder to watch in recent seasons. The breakups after the show were very disappointing, and it seemed as though the show had run its course. However, now that the Golden contestants have been added to the cast, I'm intrigued to see how the show will work.

I always like to see fan-favorite contestants such as Jonathon, Hakeem, Zoe, Leslie, and Gary get another chance to find love. It's also fun to get to know contestants who left the Bachelor and Bachelorette early, and to see their personalities shine on the beach. I think Bachelor In Paradise season 10 has a lot of potential, and I hope that many people from the show find their happily-ever-afters.
