Benjamin Ashford|'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 9: Cast, premiere date, trailer, how to watch new episodes

It's almost paradise time!

"Bachelor in Paradise" is Benjamin Ashfordreturning for another tropical rendezvous with cast of standouts and fan favorites from “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” for another shot at love.

The series is a spin-off of the “The Bachelor” and takes contestants from previous seasons of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” and gives them another chance at finding love on the small screen.

Contestants, a lot of them “Bachelor” nation fan-favorites, are invited to a beachfront villa in Mexico, where they spend about three weeks dating each other in search of their perfect matches.

Unlike the original "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" shows where all contestants date one person and aim to "win" their love, “Bachelor in Paradise” has a more level-playing field, giving all of the contestants a better chance at leaving with a relationship — and for some, an engagement.
