With a new cast and a few golden surprises, Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season begins. The sexiest beach getaway on reality television will be back by the time the waves break on the sand in July. Furthermore, the initial group of singles has been released.

On July 7, ABC's Bachelor in Paradise will officially return for its tenth season. Fans have been eagerly anticipating another round of flirting, tears, roses, and (hopefully) some happy endings since last year's hiatus.

This time, the show is adding a dash of something fresh—participants from the franchise's heyday—to its well-known concoction of young heartbreakers from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. However, the initial wave of participants is focused on the younger demographic for the time being. What about the beach? It takes place in another magnificent location. Costa Rica served as the location for the filming of Season 10, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Who’s making the first splash? Meet the contestants

The first cast members walking into paradise include names both fresh and familiar. Some are returning favourites. Some are new faces.

Among the women, we will see:

Alexe-Anne 'Alexe' Godin (The Bachelor Season 29)

Bailey Brown (The Bachelor Season 29)

Jessica 'Jess' Edwards (The Bachelor Season 28)

Katherine 'Kat' Izzo (The Bachelor Season 27, Bachelor in Paradise Season 9)

Lexi Young (The Bachelor Season 28)

Zoe McGrady (The Bachelor Season 29)

Joining them are a crew of familiar men:

Brian Autz, Hakeem Moulton, Jeremy Simon, Jonathon Johnson, Riquerdy 'Ricky' Marinez, Sam McKinney and Spencer Conley (all from The Bachelorette Season 21)

Golden guests will arrive later

Bachelor Nation is shaking things up this year by inviting a few of its senior citizens to the party. While they won’t be part of the initial lineup, viewers can expect Leslie Fhima (from The Golden Bachelor) and Gary Levingston (from The Golden Bachelorette) to make an entrance later in the season.

A new twist

Jesse Palmer returns as the man handing out dates and making cryptic pronouncements, while fan favorite Wells Adams is once again behind the bar, possibly offering some unsolicited but wise advice.

There is also a new twist this season. Hannah Brown, who first won hearts on The Bachelorette Season 15, joins the show in a brand-new role. She has been named “Paradise Relations” and is all set to make her debut with the introduction of the Champagne Lounge.

What’s next for the Bachelor universe?

Once the sun sets on Paradise, the cameras will shift to a more seasoned love story. Coming up later this year is Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor, this time with a former NFL player in the lead. Mel Owens is taking the baton.
