Bachelor In Paradise Announces Season 10’s Starting Cast

The beach is so back. After skipping last year, Bachelor in Paradise returns in 2025, and according to host Jesse Palmer, Season 10 may look a little different. “I am expecting some changes. I don’t know what those changes are going to necessarily be,” he recently told Swooon.

As the beachy spin-off draws nearer, some of those changes have been revealed — and they’re already making for a totally new Paradise experience.

Here’s everything to know about Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 — including the 2025 cast, brand-new location, and potential release date.

Meet The Cast For Bachelor In Paradise 2025

Theoretically, anyone from Bachelor Nation’s ever-expanding alumni network could appear on the beach. But Bachelor in Paradise tends to be most populated by contestants from the most recent Bachelor/ette seasons.

Since there was no Paradise in 2024, cast members from Joey Graziadei’s, Jenn Tran’s, and Grant Ellis’ seasons comprise many of the beachgoers. In addition to previously announced alums Zoe McGrady, Jonathon Johnson, and Hakeem Moulton, the full starting lineup — announced on June 10 — features Alexe Godin, Bailey Brown, Brian Autz, Dale Moss, Jeremy Simon, Jess Edwards, Justin Glaze, Kat Izzo, Kyle Howard, Lexi Young, Riquerdy “Ricky” Marinez, Sam McKinney, and Spencer Conley representing the flagship franchise.

And of course, for the first time, members of The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette will also be heading to Paradise. The first two confirmed attendees from Bachelor Nation’s Golden family are Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston.

In addition to the confirmed cast members, a leaked video from production appears to show several yet-to-be-announced additions. @bachelornation.scoop on Instagram reports that these include Andrew Spencer, Parisa Shifteh, and Jill Chin — in addition to the cast who were just confirmed.

On his blog, Reality Steve speculated that Kathy Swarts, Keith Gordon, and Jack Lencioni of the Golden bunch could also be spotted in the video.

Yes, There’s A Paradise Trailer

You can spot a few potential connections-in-progress in the newly released Bachelor in Paradise 2025 trailer.

Hannah Brown Has Entered The Chat

On April 22, ABC announced that Bachelorette alum Hannah Brown would be heading to the beach, not to look for love (she’s engaged to Adam Woolard) but to run an all-new Champagne Lounge. Wells Adams will return as bartender.

Paradise Has A New Location

While the show traditionally films in Mexico, this season takes place in Costa Rica.

So, When Is Paradise Season 10?

With The Bachelorette skipping its summer season, fans hoped the schedule shift would pave the way for an earlier Paradise premiere date. There’s something special about watching beachy romance shenanigans during the actual summertime, right?

Fortunately, viewers will get their wish. ABC has announced that Bachelor in Paradise will return on Monday, July 7 — which just so happens to be the earliest premiere date in the show’s history.
