‘Bachelor in Paradise’ returns for summer 2025—How to watch for free, new cast

   

The beach is back!

After a summer hiatus in 2024, “Bachelor in Paradise” is officially returning, and trust us, it’s a season worth tuning into.

For the first time ever, the competition spin-off is saying adios to Mexico and filming in sunny Costa Rica for Season 10. The cast is stacked with 20 familiar faces from Bachelor Nation looking for a second (or third, in some cases) shot at love.

Among them? “Bachelorette” winner Dale Moss — yes, that Dale — who famously proposed to Clare Crawley on “The Bachelorette” before their love story fizzled out in 2021.

Here’s this summer’s big twist: this season isn’t just about familiar faces from the original franchise. A fresh wave of “Goldens” will crash the party, with four ladies from “The Golden Bachelor” and six silver foxes from “The Golden Bachelorette” also looking for love (or at least a good time).
