Bachelor in Paradise begins on ABC Monday, Aug. 16. Nineteen singles, veterans of past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, are on board. The last season took place almost two years ago.
“With the beach officially open, it’s time for a new group of former bachelors and bachelorettes to take another shot at love while living together in a romantic resort in Mexico,” said ABC.
It is season seven of Bachelor in Paradise. Chris Harrison no longer hosts, following controversial statements he made in an interview, with a list of celebs lined up to take on hosting duties. David Spade is the first guest host, welcoming the men and women to Paradise. Lance Bass, Lil Jon and Tituss Burgess will host as well.
Former Bachelorettes Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams hosted season 17 of The Bachelorette.
