Where do they film Bachelor in Paradise?

The action all goes down at the Playa Escondida resort in Sayulita, Mexico, per IMDb . Filming usually happens in June, with the cast announced around that time.

Check out this behind-the-scenes look at the BiP resort:

Whos going to be in the new Bachelor in Paradise cast?

Its not totally clear at the moment, but fans already have some solid predictions from Peter Webers season. Given that producers loooove to create drama, its pretty fair to say that women like Alayah Benavidez , Kelsey Weier , and Mykenna Dorn should make the cut. And dont be surprised if Sydney Hightower and Victoria Paul suddenly find themselves in Paradise, too.

For the guys, Mike Johnson from Hannah Brown's Bachelorette season might make another appearance, given that hes still single . Dont be surprised if Jed Wyatt and Blake Horstmann show up to try to clear their names, too. (Yes, Jed has a girlfriend now, but ya never know what might happen by June...) Other than that, expect some randos from pretty much any previous season in the mix.

How do you get on Bachelor in Paradise?

You have to be a previous contestant on The Bachelor or Bachelorettewomp womp. Producers seem really into people who brought the drama during their seasons, as well as fan favorites, but sometimes there are a few people in there who are hard to remember from past seasons (often because they were eliminated early on).

Remind me: What happened last season in Paradise?

There was a lot that went down on BiP season six, but to quickly sum it up Blake Horstmann was the villain of the group, after it was revealed that he hooked up with practically everyone at Stagecoach (a music festival) before going on the show. New couples formed, like Tayshia Adams and John Paul Jones , Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour, and Katie Morton and Chris Bukowski. Demi Burnett also ended up inviting her former girlfriend Kristian Haggerty to join the show, which was the first time a past flame who wasnt in the original cast was invited on. (It was also the first same sex relationship on the show.)

Of all those Bachelor in Paradise couples , only Hannah and Dylan are still standing.

So, uh... is it summer yet?
