Is a Bachelor in Paradise season 4 cast reveal coming soon?

When is the Bachelor in Paradise season 4 cast reveal coming? Part of it may come even sooner than you’d think.

In a post on Twitter, show executive producer Mike Fleiss seemed to hint that the producers were getting closer to finalizing what much of the cast would be for the season airing later this summer on ABC. For the time being, we already know a few of the people we’re going to see. Raven Gates from Nick Viall’s season has already confirmed that she’s going to be interested in doing it, while it already seems as though Chad Johnson is good to go for the second straight season. (Let’s hope that this goes better than it did the first time he was on the show.)

Meanwhile, we’re willing to be everything that Corinne Olympios will be there (if she wants to do other reality shows, this is her ticket to doing so), and Taylor Nolan will probably be at the very least asked. Former Bachelor Chris Soules has all be confirmed that he’s been asked to be a part of the show, but isn’t altogether sure if he will do it.

We do think that we are getting to a point now where former Bachelors / Bachelorettes could consider doing this show even after getting a season of their own. Doing the franchise now is, unfortunately, about more than just finding love — it’s incredibly lucrative in terms of social-media marketing. Someone can appear on the show, last a month or so, and then be able to sell Instagram ads at a pretty hefty price. Typically, you can get tens of thousands of followers without making it that far. Good example — Alexis Waters, someone known mostly for her night 1 “dolphin” costume this past season. She’s got over 250,000 followers on Instagram, and she’s making money promoting products. We don’t blame her for it — so many other people are doing it, but it’s a good indication of the power of this franchise.

For the record, we also feel pretty confident that Alexis will get an invitation to Paradise this summer, as well, and the producers will throw all sorts of dolphin shtick into the mix.
