“Bachelor in Paradise” will be back for season 10 later in 2025, but it will not be the same show fans have watched in the past. Change is in the air, and fans will be eager to see how this impacts the franchise spinoff.
A New Showrunner Is on the Way
On January 24, Deadline reported that the franchise is bringing in a new showrunner for season 10. Their sources indicate the franchise has tapped Scott Teti to step into the role.
Teti has been the executive producer on a number of other reality television shows. Deadline noted that Teti has worked on “Claim to Fame” for ABC and some of the “Married at First Sight” spinoff shows. He also has experience with “Summer House” on Bravo.
According to Teti’s IMDb page, Teti was also an executive producer on shows including “DeMarcus Family Rules,” Winter House,” “Dating Naked,” “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars,” and a few others.
ABC did not air “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2024. Instead, “The Golden Bachelorette” with Joan Vassos aired after Jenn Tran’s season of “The Bachelorette.” There has been no formal announcement regarding a second season of “The Golden Bachelor,” but ABC did previously confirm the return of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Host Jesse Palmer Teased Changes Ahead
Show host Jesse Palmer previously alluded to changes on the horizon for the series when it returns. He told Swooon he is “excited” for season 10.
“I am expecting some changes. I don’t know what those changes are going to necessarily be. I certainly have my own hopes what it might be, but I’m just really excited to get back to the beach personally, and to see our lovely cast, and to hopefully see some people fall in love and get engaged,” Palmer told the media outlet.
Palmer admitted, “I missed doing it this past year, so I can’t wait.” He indicated he didn’t know “exactly” what changes were in store for the show in its return, though.
Fans took to “The Bachelor” subreddit to share their thoughts on the showrunner news.
One Reddit user wrote, “I could see this new direction being successful if done right!”
Another commented, “Good. This show has been stale as hell. All they need to do is take a little bit of the love island route, and the drama will create itself.”
“I’m looking forward to him saving this series,” someone else stated.
