After a brief hiatus last year, fans can get ready for beachside romance, emotional moments, and a few surprising twists. The first wave of contestants has been announced — and they include both returning fan favorites and fresh faces ready for love.
Set in the lush paradise of Costa Rica, this season is introducing an exciting blend of familiar personalities from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, along with a golden surprise — senior contestants from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette will also make special appearances later in the season.

The male lineup includes several recognizable faces from The Bachelorette Season 21:

Also returning are:
- Dale Moss (The Bachelorette Season 16)

While this initial cast is made up of younger stars, later episodes will introduce golden-age contestants including Leslie Fhima (The Golden Bachelor) and Gary Levingston (The Golden Bachelorette), adding a new dynamic to the paradise storyline.
Hosting duties remain in the capable hands of Jesse Palmer, while Wells Adams is back behind the bar, bringing his signature charm and unexpected advice. Adding to the excitement, The Bachelorette Season 15 lead Hannah Brown is joining the show in a fresh new role called “Paradise Relations” and will unveil the new “Champagne Lounge” experience for the contestants.
As the sun begins to set on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, fans can also look forward to The Golden Bachelor Season 2 featuring former NFL player Mel Owens as the lead — promising more mature love stories later this year.
