With The Bachelor season 25 officially behind us, of course fans of the ABC franchise (myself included!) are looking ahead to the future of the reality shows we expect to go on each year. In 2020, filming was understandably pushed back due to safety concerns surrounding COVID-19, and we were unable to get a new season of Bachelor in Paradise. Believe it or not, the last season of BiP we were blessed with was season 6, which featured the likes of Demi Burnett, Caelynn Miller-Keyes, and Blake Horstmann. So much has happened since then!
With many shows in the United States now finding ways to film safely, including The Bachelorette and The Bachelor, fans are just waiting around to hear anything about a potential new season of Bachelor in Paradise this summer.
Is Bachelor in Paradise happening in 2021?
Reality Steve reported earlier this month that the plan is for Bachelor in Paradise season 7 to film this June. The location has not been disclosed yet, nor have the contestants. The season has not been announced by ABC just yet, but we’re hoping they are in fact able to film this summer and release a new season, if they can do it safely, of course.
We will keep you updated once we get any more information about BiP season 7.
Who will be in on Bachelor in Paradise season 7?
As I mentioned, contestants haven’t been announced for the forthcoming season, nor a host. What is interesting, though, is that The Bachelor alum Chelsea Vaughn posted something on Instagram today that seems to confirm she’ll be making an appearance.
The New York City native shared two gorgeous shots of her at the beach wearing a pink bikini, writing in her caption, “Did someone say paradise?.” While this is not explicitly an announcement she’ll be heading onto BiP, it’s an obvious nod to the possibility. You can see Chelsea Vaughn’s post below.
And to make matters even more interesting is that Kit Keenan slid into the comments section to write, “on my way!.” As both ladies just competed on Matt James‘ season of The Bachelor, it would be a no-brainer for the two of them to join Bachelor in Paradise season 7.
We’re just going to need that official confirmation from ABC to know who will be joining the cast for sure!
Who do you hope will be joining Bachelor in Paradise for season 7?
