- Season 10 of "Bachelor in Paradise" premieres on July 7.
- The cast includes singles from Jenn Tran's and Grant Ellis' seasons, plus some old franchise favorites.
- Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown will join Wells Adams as a bartender in the "champagne lounge."
After skipping its 2024 season, "Bachelor in Paradise" is set to return this year. But this time, fan-favorite Bachelor Nation stars looking for another shot at love won't be hitting the beaches in Mexico — they'll be in Costa Rica instead.
Host Jesse Palmer will be joined on the beach by returning bartender Wells Adams, plus another familiar face: former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, who will be taking on a new bartending role in the show's brand-new "champagne lounge."
The location and addition of Brown mark two significant changes for the 10th season of the series, which debuted in 2014.
Other details about the 2025 season of "Bachelor in Paradise" are slowly trickling out. Here's everything we know.
The 'Bachelor in Paradise' season 10 cast will include stars from Jenn Tran's 'Bachelorette' season and Grant Ellis' 'Bachelor' season

Jonathon Johnson and Hakeem Moulton, who competed on season 21 of "The Bachelorette" starring Jenn Tran, are headed to the beach for "Paradise." The guys were most recently seen in the audience during Grant Ellis' "Men Tell All" episode almost a full year ago, in August 2024.
Jonathon, a creative director in LA, had an easygoing, slow-burn romance with Jenn but was eliminated just before the finale. After sitting in the hot seat during the "Men Tell All" episode, Jonathon revealed that he was still single. Then, Jesse Palmer, the host, invited him to "Paradise," and he accepted.
At the "Men Tell All," another cast member from Jenn's season scored an invite to the spin-off show: Hakeem.
Hakeem, a medical device salesman from Illinois, won over Bachelor Nation with his big personality. He was eliminated during week three, and Palmer invited him to "Paradise" during the "Men Tell All."
Hakeem has been teasing his involvement in "Paradise" by sharing a video on Instagram of himself working out.
"The goal? Feel strong, confident, and ready for anything," he wrote in part.
Additional cast members for "Paradise" were announced during the "After the Final Rose" special following the "Bachelor" season 29 finale in March.
Zoe McGrady, the tech engineer and model who made it to the final three during Grant's season, accepted Palmer's invitation to the beach.
The rest of the initial season 10 cast was announced on June 10

Besides Zoe, Hakeem, and Jonathon, the initial season 10 cast will feature stars from recent seasons like Alexe Godin and Bailey Brown from Grant's "Bachelor" season, and Brian Autz, Jeremy Simon, Ricky Marinez, Sam McKinney, and Spencer Conley from Jenn's season of "The Bachelorette."
Some old fan favorites are making their way to the beach, too. Most surprisingly, Dale Moss, the winner of Clare Crawley's abbreviated season of "The Bachelorette" in 2020, will be making his "Paradise" debut.
In addition to him, we'll see Jess Edwards and Lexi Young from Joey Graziadei's season of "The Bachelor," Justin Glaze and Kyle Howard from Katie Thurston's season of "The Bachelorette," and Kat Izzo from "Paradise" season nine and Zach Shallcross' "Bachelor" season.

Palmer also announced a twist for the coming season. For the first time ever, stars from the "Golden" spin-offs will also be part of "Paradise" alongside "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" alums.
Gary Levingston from "The Golden Bachelorette" and Leslie Fhima, the runner-up on season one of "The Golden Bachelor," revealed that they'd be part of the show, among other yet-to-be-announced "Golden" contestants.
"I cannot wait," Leslie said. "The beach is my thing, so I'm very excited and I'm so excited to be with my old friends, make new friends, and maybe find love."
Gary shared similar comments, saying that fans could expect to see him dancing, basking in the sun, and "looking for love in all the right places."
However, no one from the "Golden" spin-offs were announced as part of the initial cast.
How exactly is this going to work? Fans will have to tune in.

ABC announced that season 10 debuts on Monday, July 7. The move is a departure from recent seasons, which premiered in late August and even into the fall. Perhaps a "Golden Bachelor" season 2 premiere date announcement is on the horizon for then?
