With the previous season of Bachelor In Paradise concluding in December 2023, it’s time to shift focus towards the show’s long-awaited return. Last season, audiences watched as 18 contestants found love, lust, and drama in the Mexican tropics. Several couples seemed viable for a lasting relationship, including Aven Jones and Kylee Russell, Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant, and John Henry Spurlock and Kat Izzo. Of these couples, Eliza and Aaron and John and Kat left engaged. While their connections ran deep, these romances hit turbulence post-filming.
Aven and Kylee weren’t ready to tie the knot after three weeks of dating, but they left with high hopes. In December, Kylee shared that she and Aven had split due to his infidelity. Aven publicly apologized and promised to better himself. Eliza and Aaron drifted apart and announced their split four days after the season finale aired. John and Kat, despite plans to move to San Diego, split amicably and shared this news days after the finale. While the romances were unfortunately short-lived, Bachelor In Paradise season 10 promises a new host of opportunities and contestants.

Bachelor in Paradise will air on ABC.
This schedule will be a major departure for the show. Besides 2020 and 2023, Bachelor In Paradise has been airing every year since 2014. The last few seasons debuted in August and the Fall. The producers may be arranging the scheduling of another franchise spin-off. Fans should keep an eye out for a potential announcement regarding The Golden Bachelor. While the summer is typically reserved for The Bachelorette, this spin-off has skipped a cycle for undetermined reasons.
Who Will Star In The Bachelor Season 10?
Popular Names Have Returned
Although the entire cast has not yet been announced, several alumni have been invited to join. Jonathan Johnson from Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette was invited back during the “Men Tell All” episode by host Jesse Palmer. Jonathan, after just sharing his single status, excitedly accepted. In the same episode, another contestant was offered a coveted position on the spin-off show: Hakeem Moulton. While Hakeem was eliminated early in the competition, by week 3, his lovable personality earned him his seat.
Hakeem posted about the position on his Instagram. In late August, he shared a carousel of images, conveying his elation regarding the invite. His caption expresses his gratitude and excitement for the upcoming shoot. Hakeem will undoubtedly be a popular addition.
Bachelor In Paradise’s next invite, Zoe McGrady, may be a more controversial addition. The former contestant on Grant Ellis’ season of The Bachelor made it to the final weeks before her ultimate elimination. Zoe attracted backlash for her behavior during the season as she continuously pulled Grant from dates. Zoe will be an asset to the drama-centered show.
What’s New On Bachelor In Paradise?
The Big Twist
While the show is synonymous with the Mexican Coast, The Bachelor producers have switched up locations for this milestone 10th season. This will mark the first season that the dating competition will be filmed in Costa Rica rather than Mexico. Fans can expect an equally beautiful backdrop for singles to mingle in.
While these additions have already turned heads, Bachelor In Paradise dropped a major bomb regarding casting. In an unprecedented turn of events, the senior contestants from The Golden Bachelor spin-off will be mingling on the spin-off. Of these contestants, we can expect Gary Levingston and Leslie Fhima. It’s unclear how these changes may affect the dating competition, but one thing is clear: they are looking for love in the same places.
