Bachelor In Paradise To Make Major Changes For Season 10

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.

The Potential 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 will likely comprise many of the beachgoers.

At Jenn’s Men Tell All special, Jonathon Johnson and Hakeem Moulton received the first official invites to Paradise 2025. Later, at Grant’s After the Final Rose special, Zoe McGrady was invited to the beach.

“I was excited for the mansion. As a Pisces, I think I’m more excited for the beach,” she joked.

Jesse also announced that for the first time, members of The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette will be heading to Paradise. The first two confirmed attendees from Bachelor Nation’s Golden family are Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston, who promised “a lot of dancing in the sand” (yay!) as he continues “looking for love in all the right places.”

Leslie, for her part, is excited to “continue [her] journey” on Paradise. As you’ll remember, she was the runner-up from Gerry Turner’s inaugural Golden Bachelor season.

Of course, now that the Golden crew is in the mix, there are countless fan-favorites to hope for.

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.
