Bachelor In Paradise Announces Season 5 Premiere Date

Brace yourselves, Bachelor Nation, Bachelor in Paradise is closer than you think!

Bachelor in Paradise Season 5 will premiere Tuesday, August 7 at 8/7c on ABC, and then continue to air Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c into the fall. We already know that this season will include one magical engagement when former Paradise contestant Jared Haibon gets down on one knee for Ashley Iaconetti to prove to the other potential love birds that love is real. The couple met on Paradise in 2015 but spent almost three years as friends before officially entering a romantic relationship. Bachelor Nation got to watch many of their ups and downs on national television so it is only right we get to experience this joyous occasion with them as well.

ABC has also announced the premiere date for their newest series, Castaways, which will air after Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesdays at 10/9c. Castaways will strand 12 diverse individuals alone throughout various islets in Indonesia, challenging them to survive among washed-up luggage, scattered resources and abandoned structures. Each individual will eventually learn there are other castaways out there but are unaware of how many, their locations or when they will be rescued.
