'Bachelor in Paradise's new premiere date announced by ABC

Bachelor in Paradise's fourth season has a new premiere date!


ABC has announced the upcoming edition of Bachelor in Paradise will debut with a two-night event on Monday, August 14 at 8PM ET/PT and Tuesday, August 15 at 8PM ET/PT.

Both episodes will be two hours long.

Over the course of six weeks, viewers will watch fan-favorite The Bachelor and The Bachelorette contestants receive a second -- or even a third -- chance to find love in Mexico.

"Viewers will watch as they fall in love or go through renewed heartbreak," the network revealed.


Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise will also feature last year's happy couple, Carly Waddell and Evan Bass, getting married. The wedding recently filmed in paradise and will air at some point in the new season.

Bachelor in Paradise was initially scheduled to premiere on August 8, but filming was suspended in June after a producer filed a complaint alleging misconduct in regards to a drunken hookup between cast members DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios.

Since both cast members had been drinking heavily that day, consent to the sexual encounter was in question.

Warner Bros. launched an investigation when production was shut down but found no evidence of misconduct or sexual assault. ABC therefore resumed taping the fourth season.

The previously announced Season 4 cast will all be a part of this summer's edition, including Corinne and DeMario.

- Raven Gates (The Bachelor, Season 21 starring Nick Viall)
