When is the 'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10 premiere? Date, cast, how to watch
The popular spinoff of ABC's flagship reality dating show "The Bachelor" (and its sister program "The Bachelorette"), will premiere July 7 following a nearly two-year hiatus.
"Bachelor in Paradise" follows contestants from seasons past as they inevitably entangle themselves in love triangles, love squares and sometimes even love pentagons.
And this season's roster of singles might look a little different to die-hard Bachelor Nation fans, as cast members from the "Golden Bachelor" and "Golden Bachelorette" are also, in a series first, going to be able to get in on the action.
"Fan favorites from the Golden seasons are joining the fun, proving once again that age is just a number as they bring their experience, and a little extra spice, to show the younger crowd how it's done," the "Bachelor in Paradise" logline reads.
The group, made of familiar faces (both older and younger) from the "Bachelor" franchise, will pack their bags and head to a new paradise in Costa Rica for a "second (or third) shot at love, hoping to turn a summer fling into something real."

Sharon Horgan: A mother's love is central to 'Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox'
1 of 4 | Sharon Horgan's "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" premieres on Wednesday. Photo courtesy of Hulu NEW YORK, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Catastrophe and Bad Sisters creator and actress Sharon Horgan says she wanted to star in Hulu's The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox because it is a nuanced family drama as opposed to a salacious true-crime saga. "It is looking at the story from a new perspective and sort of giving it a wider lens and not just focusing on the courtroom drama of it, but on Amanda's journey," Horgan, 55, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview "A lot of what led up to it and and happened after involved her family and impacted her family and, as someone who plays her mother, I realized how much of the the story was about their relationship and what you do for the people you love." The actual Knox was a producer on the fact-based miniseries, which premieres Wednesday. Horgan plays Edda Mellas, a German-born Seattle math teacher who is shocked to learn her daughter Amanda (Grace Van Patten) has been wrongfully imprisoned for the sexual assault and murder of her British flatmate while they were studying abroad in Italy in 2007. As a real-life parent herself, Horgan couldn't help but envision how hard she would fight to protect her own daughter if she ended up at the center of such a painful ordeal half a world away. "I'm a mama," she said. "I've got a 21-year-old girl and a 17-year-old girl, so, I, unfortunately, found it very easy to imagine either of my girls finding themselves in a terrifying situation [like this]." Knox's trial, conviction, retrial and eventual acquittal made news headlines around the world for more than a decade. "There was sort of a feeding of the public's obsession with it," Horgan said of the non-stop media coverage of the case, which led to countless documentaries and TV news-magazine specials. "It's an absolutely tragic, terrible story involving two young women, so I understand why it got under people's skin so much." Horgan was happy to spend time with the real Mellas and Knox when they visited the show's set. "When I was researching for the role, I was watching anything I could find of her online and there wasn't really that much. There were a few interviews and [some footage of Mellas] dealing with the media, dealing with the press and I was always struck by her composure ... and how calmly she dealt with the whole circus of it," Horgan said. "When I met her in real life, she's just a lovely, fun, young-for-her-age woman and I liked her very much and I think it's a testament to her strength of personality and her character that she's managed to pull together as normal a life as possible. I don't know if I'd have been able to manage that." The real Knox was involved in the project from the very first Zoom call Horgan took with the filmmakers. "It was Amanda and how she spoke about her mom, actually, how she spoke about what her mom went through while she was in prison, that made me want to do it, if I'm honest," Horgan said. "She's incredibly smart, a very emotionally intelligent, very warm, friendly mother," Horgan said of Knox, who now has two children of her own. "She's someone who had a real curiosity about the film and TV making process, as well. She's very open about being so new to that and I really enjoyed having them around. Edda came down for a couple of days, as well." Horgan said it was easy to bond with Van Patten (Tell Me Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers) and make that mother-daughter connection seem authentic. "I just felt incredibly motherly towards her. I was away from my girls at the time and I did not love that," Horgan laughed, noting that Van Patten's sister Anna played Amanda's sister Deanna, so she also looked out for her. "The two of them are adorable, sweet, kind girls and we hung out a bit. We did a bit of wall climbing together. We went for a few drinks," she added. "But, really, it was something that happened very quickly and, then, after that you're on set for so long. You have these long, long days, especially for the courtroom scenes. You really are sitting around for hours and days and, so, you do really just get to know each other." Horgan described the production as having a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere in which everyone involved understood the responsibility they had to get this story right after years of misinformation, misunderstandings and bias obscured the truth. "There's nothing about the team that made you feel anything other than protected," she said about the cast and crew. "You were in good company and everyone was there to take care of the story and tell it to the best of their ability. That was a good feeling. You felt like everyone was very aware of the story that they were telling and being careful with that."

The Shocking True Story Behind ‘The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox'
Amanda Knox is making headlines yet again, but this time, it's for Hulu's limited series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. Whether you followed the story as it unfolded in the media or are just learning what happened, here's everything you need to know about the infamous case, from the investigation to the convictions and acquittals. The eight-part scripted drama stars Grace Van Patten as Knox, who was wrongfully imprisoned for murder weeks after arriving in Italy for her study abroad program. According to Hulu, the show "traces Amanda's relentless fight to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom, and examines why authorities and the world stood so firmly in judgment." Knox also serves as an executive producer on the project. "I'm a producer and a collaborator on the story," Knox told the Seattle Times. "I'm not just a victim of the storytellers and at the mercy of the storytellers." The show takes viewers through Knox's arrest, the controversial interrogation and the trial. Showrunner K.J. Steinberg told the publication that she first discussed the idea of the show with fellow EP Monica Lewinsky, wanting to focus on Knox the person rather than the figure created by Italian authorities and the media. "It was very clear to me as soon as I met Amanda, read her memoir, but mostly looked into her eyes in our meeting and connected with her, that that warped version was a travesty unto itself," Steinberg said. Who Is Amanda Knox? Amanda Knox is an American activist, author and journalist. In November 2007, when she was a 20-year-old student at the University of Washington, she went abroad to Perugia, Italy. She lived in a four-bedroom apartment on the ground floor with three other women, including Meredith Kercher, a British exchange student from the University of Leeds. 'It's true that I didn't know Meredith very well. I had only known her for a few weeks," Knox wrote in her recent memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning. "That said, when you study abroad, you get to know people really quickly because both of us were new arrivals to Perugia. … I was 20. She was 21. She was studying journalism. I was studying languages.' She continued, "And we both happened to rent a room in this beautiful little house overlooking the countryside. And it was perfect. It was that beautiful time of your life when everything is possible and you have every reason to expect to have beautiful experiences." On Oct. 25, 2007, Knox met Italian Raffaele Sollecito at a classical music concert, and they started dating. The 23-year-old Italian computer engineering student's apartment was a short walk from the girls' flat. What Happened To Meredith Kercher? On Nov. 2, 2007, Kercher was found dead in her bedroom in the apartment that she shared with Knox. According to Italian police, her body was partially clothed, with her throat cut. She was stabbed multiple times and was sexually assaulted. When questioned by police, Knox told authorities that she'd spent the night of Nov. 1 at Raffaele's house and returned home about 10:30 a.m. Friday morning. She noticed that the front door was open and there were spots of blood on the bathroom mat. Amanda said that she took a shower and then went to get her boyfriend; the police arrived at about 12:30 p.m. What Did The Police Do During Amanda Knox's Interrogation? Shortly after Kercher was killed, Knox was subjected to 53 hours of interrogation from Italian authorities without a lawyer or an official translator. In January 2025, Knox penned an article for The Atlantic shedding light on her interrogation, which she called "the most terrifying experience of my life." 'I was 20 years old, and was questioned for more than 53 hours over a five-day period in a language I was only just learning to speak. The night of Meredith's murder, I had stayed with Raffaele Sollecito, a young man I'd just started dating. But no matter how many times I said that, the police refused to believe me,' she wrote. What Did Amanda Knox Confess To Initially? Knox recalled in The Atlantic that during the interrogation, she was "berated, threatened, lied to, and slapped, and eventually my sanity broke," adding that she "began to believe the lies the police were telling me." Knox said that she agreed to sign statements placing herself and another innocent man in the house when the crime had occurred. Also during the interrogation, she accused Congolese bar owner Patrick Lumumba of killing Kercher. (Knox worked part-time at Lumumba's bar.) "I recanted only a few hours later, but it didn't matter," Knox wrote. "I was coerced into signing the statements and then charged with criminal slander for doing so. (The police, who did not record the interrogation as they were supposed to, deny that I was hit or pressured into making these statements.)" The recantation Knox is referring to was a handwritten four-page statement in English in which she questioned the truthfulness of her previous testimony. "In regards to this 'confession' that I made last night, I want to make clear that I'm very doubtful of the veracity [sic] of my statements because they were made under the pressures of stress, shock and extreme exhaustion," she wrote, per CBS News. "Not only was I told I would be arrested and put in jail for 30 years, but I was also hit in the head when I didn't remember a fact correctly," she said in the statement. "It was under this pressure and after many hours of confusion that my mind came up with these answers." What Happened At Amanda Knox's Trial? Prosecutors claimed Knox and her boyfriend murdered Meredith because she wouldn't participate in a group sex game. According to NBC News, investigators found it suspicious that both Amanda and Raffaele turned off their cell phones at almost exactly the same time — 8:40 p.m. — on the night of the murder. However, The Gaurdian reported that in the final days of the trial, media sentiment in Italy shift in favor of the defendants 'as their lawyers kept up an offensive on the forensic evidence linking them to the crime.' Knox and Sollecito were convicted of murdering Kercher in 2009, with Knox receiving a 26-year prison sentence. Both served four years in an Italian prison before being found innocent in 2011 by an eight-member jury. Their acquittal came after serious questions emerged about the procedures used to collect DNA evidence, according to the BBC. The court ruled that Knox's initial testimony, which was typed by the police, would not be admissible as evidence in the retrial. Instead, only Knox's handwritten notes were allowed as evidence, according to CBS News at the time. Why Was The First Acquittal Reversed? In March 2013, a retrial was ordered after prosecutors appealed that crucial DNA evidence had been left out, and the case was sent back to an appeals court in Florence. That court reinstated the original guilty verdict against Knox and Sollecito. As NPR reported in 2014, "The latest ruling reinstates the initial verdict and sentences Knox, who currently lives in Seattle, to 28 1/2 years in prison and is likely to set up a long battle over her extradition." Finally, in 2015, the convictions of Knox and Sollecito were definitively overturned by Italy's highest court. The Court of Cassation found that the murder investigation had been flawed from the start. According to The New York Times, the court noted that the "unusual media hype" and the international repercussions that accompanied the case from the moment Kercher, was found dead led to a "sudden acceleration" in the investigations to find potential suspects "to consign to the international public opinion," which "certainly did not assist in finding the truth." Although Knox was exonerated of the murder charges, she was unsuccessful in her efforts to overturn her slander conviction. In June 2025, Italy's highest court upheld Knox's conviction, which held a brief jail sentence. She was found guilty of slander for falsely accusing her former boss, Patrick Lumumba, of killing Kercher. In 2023, an appeals court in Florence gave Knox a three-year sentence for wrongly accusing Lumumba. But because she had already served nearly four years, she is not at risk of any more jail time, according to VOA News. "It's a surreal day," Knox wrote on X after the conviction was upheld. "I've just been found guilty yet again of a crime I didn't commit.' Knox's lawyer, Carlo Dalla Vedova, also said that he was surprised by the conviction. "We cannot believe it. A totally unjust decision for Amanda and unexpected in our eyes," he said. "We are incredulous." Meanwhile, Lumumba was happy with the verdict. "Amanda was wrong. This verdict has to accompany her for the rest of her life," he told The Associated Press. Who Killed Meredith Kercher? While Knox was in prison, Italian investigators revealed they were looking for a fourth suspect in the stabbing. The man left a bloody left-hand print on a pillowcase found underneath Meredith's head, and he also used the bathroom without flushing, leaving DNA evidence. The bloody print was a match to Rudy Hermann Guede, a 20-year-old Ivorian native who has lived in Italy since the age of five. In statements to German authorities and to his lawyer, Guede admitted that he was in the flat with Meredith when she died. He said they'd made a date the night before, on Halloween, when she'd been dressed as a vampire. He claimed that the date at her house ended in consensual sex. He said that they went to bed, and he went down the hall to the bathroom, when he heard Meredith screaming. Not only was Guede's DNA found in the victim, but it was also on her bra and in the house, per NBC News. Guede was sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2008, but that verdict included a ruling that he did not commit the crime alone. His sentence was later reduced on appeal before he was released early for good behavior in 2021, according to CNN. But Guede's legal troubles are far from over. He is scheduled to appear in court in November 2025 on charges of sexual assault, mistreatment and stalking. These accusations come from his former girlfriend, whom he began dating while still in perison. According to Italian media, their relationship ended in 2023 when she filed charges against him. The first two episodes of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox are streaming on Hulu. Watch the official trailer below.
