How long is ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ on tonight? The Season 7 Episode 11 finale will end later than usual
After last week’s lengthy episode of Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, many fans might be wondering how long the finale will be tonight. According to ABC, BIP Episode 11 will also be three hours long. So the Bachelor in Paradise finale will end at 11 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile, the Bachelor in Paradise 2021 finale will end with the final day of filming because the new episode will not include the reunion special. Recently, Wells Adams confirmed an “After the Final Rose” segment will not air this year.
“I don’t think we’re doing a reunion,” the BIP guest host and bartender told Us Weekly. “They haven’t asked me to go and host the thing. So if they are, that’s messed up. But I don’t think we are because we’re going straight into Bachelorette.”

Now, if you don’t want to watch the Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 finale when it drops on ABC, then episode 11 will become available to stream on Hulu starting the next day on Wednesday, Oct. 6. New episodes are typically released by 9 a.m. ET. That said, the current season of BIP will eventually leave the streaming platform.
