So, to ensure the leads make thorough judgments and really immerse themselves in the experience, ABC decided to push back the Bachelorette premiere to July 11, 2022. So, what does this mean for Bachelor in Paradise?Source: ABCArticle continues below advertisement When does ' Bachelor in Paradise' start in 2022 While Bachelor Nation is thrilled to see Gabby and Rachel helm the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, many couldn't help but fear for the future of Bachelor in Paradise. "If Bachelorette isn’t premiering until July 11, does someone want to tell me when the F--K Paradise is supposed to happen?" @TheBachBabes tweeted. Another fan added, "Am I glad that the next season isn’t immediately after this one? YES. Do I want The Bachelorette to replace Bachelor in Paradise this summer? ABSOLUTELY NOT." The spinoff series is clearly a fan favorite, with many declaring it's not summer without BIP. (We wholeheartedly agree.) The series always provides viewers with huge amounts of drama and the most unlikely pairings; however, are we sure BIP is even coming back in 2022? Well, fret no longer, Bachelor Nation. Bachelor in Paradise is confirmed to return this year! Just not exactly when we expected.

The actual relationships on the BiP beach might be hot one day and cold the next, but Wells's calming presence has always been a welcome aspect of consistency on the show. Thankfully, ABC did reveal that Wells will be back once again as the bartender. #JusticeForWells pic.twitter.com/JN2Rq9SbDb— Chicks in the Office (@ChicksInTheOff) May 17, 2022 Here's to hoping that the newest batch of Bachelor in Paradise contestants will make up for Wells not hosting. There was a heaping helping of drama on Season 7, but several of the couples that formed connections are still going strong. We're excited to see who's ready for love or to simply heat things up when Bachelor in Paradise returns this fall.
