Welcome to Mexico! ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ 2022 Cast: Everything We Know About Season 8 Stars

Next stop, Mexico! Bachelor in Paradise season 8 is set to return in fall 2022, and fans are already eager to see which Bachelor Nation stars will be appearing on the reality spinoff. Keep reading for everything we know about the cast, premiere date and more!

When does Bachelor in Paradise 2022 premiere?

The show is set to premiere on September 27, 2022. ABC confirmed that the dating show will air Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST. On August 10, they revealed the official poster and tagline of the season: “Everyone’s down to flock.” 

Season 19 of The Bachelorette, which stars Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, began on July 11, and typically, seasons run for about eight to 10 weeks. It’s likely that Paradise will start shortly after the finale so Bachelor Nation will have a little bit of time to rest up before tuning in! 

Who is hosting Bachelor in Paradise 2022?

Jesse Palmer has been named the official host of the Bachelor franchise following Chris Harrison’s exit in 2021. The former football player will not only help guide Gabby and Rachel on their journeys to find love, but he will also appear in Mexico to lead the rose ceremonies.

The Bachelorette alum Wells Adams will continue to serve as the BiP bartender during season 8. The radio host previously admitted he was “a little bit” upset that he didn’t get promoted to host over Jesse. 

“But I was never the Bachelor, so I understood the decision,” Wells, who is engaged to actress Sarah Hyland, explained to Us Weekly in December 2021. “I also know Jesse really well; I’ve worked with him before. So I get him being the host, he was the Bachelor [so it] totally makes sense. You know, I’m happy [for him].”
