When will ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ 2023 air?

It’s almost time to grab your best roses, cocktails, and lots of tissues because Bachelor Nation is gearing up to leave the mansion behind and head to the beach for a new season of Bachelor in Paradise.

Bachelorette fans just watched Charity Lawson find love with Dotun Olubeko, following the journey of a lifetime with some of the most interesting potential suitors in Bachelor Nation history. Now, the call of Paradise rings strong in our ears, and it will soon be time to answer it. Now that Charity has found her Mr. Perfect, paradise is ready to usher Bachelor Nation alumni to the beach for a second (or third…or fourth…) chance at finding their person.

So, just when should anxious fans anticipate seeing Bachelor in Paradise? Will we be lucky enough to witness the next season real soon?

Is Bachelor in Paradise coming back in 2023?

It’s hard to imagine summer (or early fall) without Bachelor in Paradise; lucky for us, we won’t have to. A slew of hopefuls have already made their way to the beach this summer and are taking an exciting journey on their path to finding love. That’s right; it’s almost time to brush up on your BIP lingo because there will be a lot of romantic speeches, albeit sometimes influenced by alcohol and a lot of sun, in our future.

The official release date is here; Bachelor in Paradise kicks off on Sept. 28, which means our Monday rose ceremonies are heading to Thursdays this season. With spooky season on the horizon, it’ll be a nice break in scary movie marathons and indulgences in all things horror to see a bit of romance, roses, and to be wowed by Brayden’s earring choices as he romps around the beach.

Look, I’m still holding a candle for Brayden in all of his dangling earrings and hat glory.

Who is on Bachelor in Paradise this year?

Two people are making the return to paradise that fans can be absolutely sure of: Wells Adams and Jesse Palmer, and to be honest, it wouldn’t feel like paradise without them. Adams is no stranger to Bachelor Nation; he was a potential love interest himself during season 12 of The Bachelorette before going to paradise to attempt to find love.

Find love he did, but not in the way he might have initially expected. Wells found the love of audiences everywhere and became the bartender in paradise, offering tasty drinks and hilarious (and heartwarming) advice to those on their own journey to finding their forever partner.

Wells also found love of his own and married Sarah Hyland in August of 2022. Sarah is actually in paradise with him now, enjoying some rest, relaxation, and fun with her beau and the crew of romantic hopefuls looking for love this year.

So who else is looking for love at the beach in 2023? As we said above, with Charity’s season still airing, nothing has been announced by ABC or Jesse Palmer, but Reality Steve has shared that fans should anticipate seeing these Bachelor Nation alumn this fall: Aven Jones, Rachel Recchia, Tyler Norris, Greer Blitzer, Nate Mitchell, Blake Moynes, Kylee Russell, and our most beloved Brayden — to name a few.

Even though we never asked, we also learned that someone in paradise will have a bowel problem; one lasting for nine days, and the internet isn’t quite sure how to handle that news.

Here’s to healthy bowel movements, Brayden and his earrings, and a new chance at love for many of our hopefuls. Don’t forget to cancel all of your plans on Sept. 28; it’s time for The Golden Bachelor and a trip to the beach in Bachelor in Paradise.
