Grab the popcorn and your favorite cocktail because the reality show of the summer is back! A whopping 19 sexy singles will be joining the cast of Bachelor In Paradise season 7, which will premiere August 16 on ABC. Fan-favorites and standouts from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will come together in Mexico for a second (and maybe third) chance at finding love.
Many of the ladies are from Matt James and Peter Weber’s seasons of The Bachelor, while the guys are mostly from Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams’ seasons of The Bachelorette. There are 2 Bachelor In Paradise alums joining the cast. Here’s the original cast list so far, with additional cast members to be announced throughout the season.

Bachelor In Paradise season 7 will feature one major change: Chris Harrison will not be back as the host. Following a racism controversy during Matt’s season, Chris left Bachelor Nation in June 2021 after nearly 2 decades. He also did not return to host Katie’s season of The Bachelorette.
For this season of BiP, the show will have rotating hosts, including Lil Jon, Tituss Burgess, David Spade, and Lance Bass. Wells Adams will be returning as a “master of cocktails, ceremonies, and our hearts,” according to ABC. Wells was a cast member during BiP season 3 and served as the show’s bartender for seasons 4, 5, and 6.
