When Does The Next Bachelor In Paradise Start

Paradise is Calling (Probably)!

Okay, people, let's get serious (but not too serious). We're all wondering the same thing: When, oh WHEN, will we be blessed with the glorious return of Bachelor in Paradise? The suspense is killing us faster than a bad sunburn on a first date!

It's like waiting for your pizza delivery guy. You know it's coming (eventually), but every minute feels like an eternity. You're refreshing the app every five seconds, right? Same energy here!

Decoding the Dates: Here's the Lowdown

Trying to pinpoint the Bachelor in Paradise premiere date is like trying to predict the weather in, well, paradise. Tricky! But, we can look at patterns and make some educated guesses.

Typically, we see our favorite singles (and the drama that follows) hitting the beaches around late September. Think of it as a post-Labor Day treat to ease the pain of summer ending. You know, before pumpkin spice everything takes over our lives.

However, ABC loves to keep us on our toes, doesn't it? So, it could be a little earlier or a little later. Think of it as the tide – sometimes it's on time, and sometimes it's fashionably late.

Why the Wait? A Quick Behind-the-Scenes Peek

Ever wonder what the delay is? Well, filming takes time, of course! Plus, ABC needs to perfectly time its premiere to maximize the drama. And the ratings, let's be honest.

They want to ensure that the Bachelor and Bachelorette seasons have had their time to shine. Gotta let those relationships crumble properly before sending the leftovers to Mexico, right?

Think of it like a perfectly aged cheese. You can't rush perfection (or perfectly crafted reality TV, at least!).

How to Survive the Wait (Without Going Crazy)

So, what do we do in the meantime? Panic? Start rumors? Build a shrine to Chris Harrison (just kidding… mostly)?

First, re-watch old seasons! Relive the glory days of Grocery Store Joe and all the other iconic moments. It's like comfort food for the soul.

Secondly, stalk the contestants' social media! (Okay, maybe "observe respectfully from a distance" is a better way to put it.) See who's suddenly single and suspiciously tan.

Finally, and most importantly, prepare your snacks! You'll need an arsenal of chips, dips, and maybe even some fancy cocktails for those intense viewing parties. We're talking full-on survival kit here!

The Bottom Line (and a Little Hope)

While we don't have an exact date yet, keep your eyes peeled for announcements around late summer. September is still a pretty safe bet. And ABC will definitely let us know. They know what's good for us.

Until then, stay tuned, stay thirsty for drama, and remember: Bachelor in Paradise is coming. It might be a mirage at the moment, but it's real and worth the wait.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go refresh ABC's website for the 78th time today. Wish me luck!

And remember, it could be any day now, or as ABC likes to say, “The most dramatic season ever!”
