Bachelor in Paradise is MIA on ABC's fall schedule

But at least we know what night "The Golden Bachelorette" will air (and it's not Monday).

Looks like ABC is taking a break from the beach.

The network just announced their 2024-2025 fall primetime schedule, and Bachelor in Paradise — which premiered last season in late September — is nowhere to be found. Usually, the beach-based dating spinoff films in June for an August/September premiere, so unless the network is thinking of pushing Paradise into (gasp!) the winter, fans will likely have to wait until summer 2025 for the next round of sweaty love triangles.

That said, there is some good news for Bachelor Nation. ABC announced that the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette will air on Wednesday nights, and the episodes will be 90 minutes long — 30 minutes longer than The Golden Bachelor. The network is pairing their senior citizen dating show with its hit comedy Abbott Elementary, though no premiere dates for any of its new and returning series have been released yet.

Three new shows — High Potential, Doctor Odyssey, and Scamandia — will also be joining the lineup. Check out the series descriptions and promos below, along with ABC's full fall schedule.
