'Bachelor In Paradise starts filming again in three months!': Claims emerge that Channel Ten are bringing back reality show for ANOTHER season... as the same Fiji resort is booked out for eight weeks

The finale of Bachelor In Paradise aired just three weeks ago.

But there's speculation that plans for another season of the show are already well under way.

Despite tepid ratings and lackluster reviews for its first season, it's thought Channel Ten have booked out the same Fijian resort to film a second installment of the reality series.

On Friday, a woman who visited the Mango Bay Resort in Fiji - where the first season of the show was filmed - took to a Bachelor fan page on Facebook claiming employees at the establishment told her that Channel Ten would be returning there to shoot another series.

'Soooo... in Fiji and went to visit Mango Bay Resort today and they confirmed Bachelor In Paradise starts filming again in 3 months!!! (Entire resort booked out by Channel 10)' the woman wrote.

It appeared to be very welcome news for fellow fans of the show, who couldn't contain their excitement.

'Wow! Can't wait. Talk about Bach overload' one exclaimed adding celebratory emojis.

On Mango Bay Resort's website, accommodation for the entire month of September appears unavailable, while the entire resort is 'sold out' for the month of October.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted both Mango Bay Resort and Channel Ten for comment.

It's perhaps a surprise move for the network to bring back the show for a second series so soon, given it already has installments of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette in its line-up for the rest of the year.

The season finale of the show  brought in 838,000 viewers - a considerable figure, but far less than the 1.69 million who tuned in for The Bachelorette finale starring Sophie Monk last year.

Bachelor In Paradise was also plagued by negative reviews on social media, with a number of people complaining about its 'boring' cast.

 Michael is believed to be in L.A. to work on his next reality show.

The Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise star has apparently been approached by Netflix to headline their new series, Game Of Love.

According to Woman's Day, Game Of Love will be filmed in the U.S. and will involve Michael dating a group of American singletons.

An industry source previously told Daily Mail Australia that Netflix pitched the show to Michael as being about 'Australia's most eligible bachelor finding The One'.

'It will feature the most desirable women in America, not just the usual reality TV types but ladies from the upper echelons of society,' they added.

'Netflix is a global streaming platform, so this show will reach an audience ten times bigger than The Bachelorette or Bachelor In Paradise.'

It's currently unclear if Backdoor Teen Mom bombshell Farrah will appear in the series as one of the potential singles.

Game of Love

EXCLUSIVE: It's coming back! Bachelor in Paradise WILL return for season two... as 'several contestants sign contracts and producers book out the same Fijian resort for filming in September and October'

There were plenty of tears, tantrums and tender kisses in season one of Bachelor in Paradise Australia.

And it appears Network Ten is keen to keep the theatrics going with a second season of the spin-off reportedly in the works.

A source close to the show revealed to Daily Mail Australia that series will resume filming next month, with several former stars from the franchise having already signed on the dotted line.

According to the source, singletons from both Richie Strahan's and Blake Garvey's seasons of The Bachelor have already been handed contracts.

Daily Mail Australia understands the show is still in the casting stage, with other former stars still under consideration to take part.

Adding weight to the rumours is the unavailability of Bachelor in Paradise's filming location of choice during the coming months.

While there are many choices of bures (Fijian huts) on offer at the Mango Bay Resort for the rest of August, accommodation abruptly becomes completely 'sold out' for all of September and October.

Indeed, Daily Mail Australia previously reported that speculation was mounting that filming was due to take place in these two months.

In May, a woman who visited the resort took to a Bachelor fan page on Facebook claiming employees at the establishment told her that Channel Ten would be returning there to shoot another series.

'Soooo... in Fiji and went to visit Mango Bay Resort today and they confirmed Bachelor In Paradise starts filming again in 3 months!!! (Entire resort booked out by Channel 10)' the woman wrote.

While Bachelor in Paradise appears to have been deemed successful enough to bring it back for another round, the show had a mixed response when it aired.

The season finale of the show brought in 838,000 viewers - a considerable figure, but far less than the 1.69 million who tuned in for The Bachelorette finale starring Sophie Monk last year.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Network Ten for comment.
