Bachelor in Paradise is an American reality television series that premiered on ABC in 2014 as a spin‑off of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. The series was developed to give beloved alums from those parent shows another chance at love in a relaxed, beachside atmosphere. Since its debut, the show has become a staple of ABC’s summer lineup and a fan favorite for viewers who enjoy the blend of romance, sunny locations, and interpersonal drama that defines the Bachelor Nation franchise.
The format places former contestants in a picturesque paradise—traditionally a resort beach setting—where they mingle, go on dates, and participate in occasional challenges or activities designed to advance connections. Throughout each season, participants hand out roses during rose ceremonies to indicate who stays and who departs; those who do not receive roses are eliminated. Romance, rivalries, and dramatic twists are constant as cast members vie to find a partner and potentially leave the island as a couple.
Over its run, the show has adapted slightly with new elements to keep the format fresh and engaging. For its tenth season in 2025, Bachelor in Paradise relocated its tropical setting from Mexico to Costa Rica—a first for the series—and introduced new dynamics, such as multi‑generational “Golden” alumni joining alongside younger returnees—a twist designed to add both experience and fresh energy to the cast.
Jesse Palmer has hosted the series since Season 8, guiding contestants through dates and rose ceremonies with his calm, charismatic presence. Bachelor Nation alum Wells Adams continues his long‑standing role as bartender, mixing drinks while offering advice and providing comic relief around the bar. Additionally, in 2025, fan‑favorite Hannah Brown joined the show as Head of Paradise Relations, adding another layer of support and engagement for cast members as they navigate their romantic journeys.
Bachelor in Paradise remains a major outlet for couples to test their relationships outside the typical Bachelor Nation format. Many romances have blossomed into long‑term engagements and marriages, while others provide memorable television moments that fuel buzzy social media conversations each summer.
