Bachelor in Paradise finally has a premiere date! Here’s the full cast lineup that includes 30 contestants who will be looking for love.
After the DeMario-Corinne situation halted Paradise production last month, many fans thought the show would be permanently canceled. After a brief hiatus, most contestants headed back to Mexico and finished filming the season last week. ABC had originally scheduled the Bachelor in Paradise premiere to air on August 8, one day after Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay hands out her final rose.
However, due to adjusted filming schedule, ABC had to change the premiere date to August 14 at 8 p.m. It’s just a week, but we’re ready for it to start now! While you wait, here’s the full Season 4 cast list, including some contestants who have yet to be announced by ABC.
Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss tweeted on Thursday that the BiP premiere date has been set for August 14. He did not mention if the After Paradise talk show would make a comeback, but there is word that there will be a Bachelor in Paradise reunion after the finale airs.
August 14th. #BachelorInParadise. Be there or you're out of #Bachelornation

32 contestants, plenty of drama
ABC still hasn’t released the full cast list and probably won’t do that until closer to the premiere date. But you don’t have to wait — we have the complete list of contestants below.
But first, here are some tidbits of info about the upcoming season.
There are 32 contestants who will come and go throughout the season. Wells Adams plays bartender, standing in for Jorge who has moved on from the Playa Escondida Resort. He’s not a contestant — and that stinks. We wanted Wells to find love!
Corinne and DeMario don’t return to Paradise, but they will both appear on the reunion show after the finale.
One of Rachel’s guys got himself tangled up in love triangle (spoiler in link) and one girl from BiP Season 3 ends up leaving Mexico with a boyfriend. And no, Chase McNary didn’t show up in Paradise … but his roommate did.
Bachelor in Paradise season 4 cast list
Reality Steve leaked the entire cast list this week, including some of Rachel’s guys. Consider this a spoiler alert for a few of the guys who are still on the current season of the Bachelorette.
