After taking a hiatus last summer, “Bachelor in Paradise” is returning for its tenth season, and this time both contestants from the main series and the “Golden” spinoff shows will be looking for love on a beach.
Season 10 of the reality dating show arrives on Monday, July 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT with a special three-hour premiere that will re-introduce Bachelor Nation to fan-favorites, “villains” and more contestants who are hoping to find a lasting connection.
Then, next Tuesday, July 15 during Episode 3, the “Golden” cast will make their grand entrance. “Bachelor in Paradise” and ABC recently announced the schedule for the first few weeks of the season in a joint Instagram post.
Leading up to the premiere, the show has also been teasing some drama and romance fans can expect this season. In one clip, host Jesse Palmer asks, “Who’s ready to fall in love?” before the video cuts to shots of cast members popping champagne bottles, sharing a few kisses and shedding some tears.
The addition of the “Golden” stars isn’t the only difference that longtime fans will notice. ABC previously announced that this summer paradise will be filmed on a new beach in Costa Rica, unlike past seasons that took place in Mexico.
Plus, Palmer and resident bartender Wells Adams will be joined by former “Bachelorette” Hannah Brown on the beach. Brown will be “bringing the bubbly” to rose ceremonies in the all-new Champagne Lounge, the network shared in a past press release
