Bachelor In Paradise Confirmed Golden Cast Members 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.

It’s been a while since Bachelor in Paradise produced a lasting couple, so here’s hoping those tweaks allow for deep connections.

In the meantime, here’s everything to know about Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 — including the reported 2025 cast, 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 beach-goers.

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.

Where & When Is Paradise Season 10?

While ABC hasn’t announced specifics about when Season 10 will film or premiere, Reality Steve reported that it will be filming in May — a little earlier than usual since The Bachelorette is skipping its summer season. This should pave the way for an earlier Paradise premiere date. In fact, during After the Final Rose, Jesse confirmed that the show will return this summer, a return to tradition after several years of fall premieres.

According to Reality Steve, Season 10 will film at Costa Sur Resort and Spa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This would mark a change from the usual Paradise location of Playa Escondida in Sayulita.
