After a year away, Bachelor in Paradise has returned to ABC. This year, the show is also featuring alumni from the two senior shows in the franchise. Will the older players be a welcome addition to Bachelor in Paradise?  Will this show be cancelled or renewed for season 11 and 2026-27? Stay tuned.

A dating reality series, the Bachelor in Paradise TV show brings previous contestants of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelor, and The Golden Bachelorette together in a tropical oasis in Costa Rica.

This time around, Hannah Brown joins in to spice things up as head of Paradise Relations and to introduce the all-new Champagne Lounge. In the 10th season, the cast includes franchise alumni Alexe-Anne “Alexe” Godin, April Kirkwood, Bailey Brown, Brian Autz, Charles “CK” King, Dale Moss, Gary Levingston, Hakeem Moulton, Jack Lencioni, Jeremy Simon, Jessica “Jess” Edwards, Jonathon Johnson, Justin Glaze, Katherine “Kat” Izzo, Kathy Swarts, Keith Gordon, Kim Buike, Kyle Howard, Leslie Fhima, Lexi Young, Natascha Hardee, Ralph “RJ” Johnson, Riquerdy “Ricky” Marinez, Sam McKinney, Spencer Conley, and Zoe McGrady.
