The fourth season of Bachelor in Paradise premiered on August 14, 2017. Chris Harrison reprises his role from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as the host of the show.
Production As with the previous season, filming took place in the town of Sayulita, located in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico.
Misconduct allegations On June 11, 2017, production was suspended indefinitely due to alleged misconduct. It was reported that production allegedly filmed cast member DeMario Jackson in a sexual encounter with Corinne Olympios, who may have been too drunk to consent. Warner Bros. released a statement saying:
On June 20, 2017, it was announced that Warner Bros. has cleared the show and its producers of any misconduct as they found no evidence of misconduct. It was also confirmed that filming will resume. Warner Bros. released a statement saying:
While neither Corinne Olympios nor DeMario Jackson returned to filming post-scandal, they still appeared in this season from footage shot before the scandal halted production, and appeared separately and together in live studio interviews with host Chris Harrison. Olympios told Harrison that she drank while taking a medication that is not supposed to be mixed with alcohol, causing her to become "imbalanced" and "mentally checked out," but with "no way" for anyone around her to know that was the case.
Casting During After the Final Rose, Nick Viall's runner-up, Raven Gates, accepted an offer to join this season. Some of the cast was announced on June 6, 2017. After Dean Unglert was eliminated during hometown week, it was announced that he would be joining the season 4 cast in Paradise.
Wells Adams of The Bachelorette season 12 became the show's new bartender, replacing Jorge Moreno.
