Season 10 of “Bachelor in Paradise” will have a new showrunner, Deadline reported on Friday. 

According to the outlet, Scott Teti (“Claim to Fame,” “Summer House”) is taking over as showrunner of the popular reality series, part of ABC’s expansive franchise that also includes “The Bachelor” and spinoffs “The Bachelorette,” “The Golden Bachelor” and “The Golden Bachelorette.”

“Bachelor in Paradise” sees fan favorites from the franchise return for a second (or third) chance at finding love after leaving their respective seasons brokenhearted. With experience under their figurative belts, participants are given the opportunity to travel to a romantic paradise in the hopes of turning a potential summer fling into the real thing.

During the show’s ninth season (aired in fall 2023), Claire Freeland, Jason Ehrlich and Bennett Graebner served as showrunners following the exit of veteran producer Mike Fleiss, who had stepped down ahead of reported misconduct allegations. Freeland, Ehrlich and Graebner had also served as executive producers alongside Nicole Woods, Tim Warner and Louis Caric.

Changes first came to light earlier this week when Bachelor Nation host Jesse Palmer sat for an interview with Swoon, telling the outlet, “I am expecting some changes. I don’t know what those changes are going to necessarily be. I certainly have my own hopes what it might be, but I’m just really excited to get back to the beach personally, and to see our lovely cast, and to hopefully see some people fall in love and get engaged and to be back with [bartender] Wells [Adams].”

Teti, whose credits also include executive producing several iterations of the “Married At First Sight” franchise, began his career as an editor before joining 51 Minds Entertainment, producers of such shows as “Flavor of Love” and “Rock of Love.” He was also the showrunner for the first season of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” before later serving as an executive producer on other popular reality shows, including “Spy Games,” “Winter House,” “Married At First Sight: Couples’ Cam” and “Unmatchables,” among other series.

In addition to Teti, Season 10 will see “The Bachelorette” alums Jonathon Johnson and Hakeem Moulton taking part as cast members – the two quickly became fan favorites but were ultimately eliminated during Jenn Tran’s season.

“Bachelor in Paradise” is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon.
