F1 American Explosion: Another Record Falls in Canada, Proving the Hype is Real
There are a growing number of F1 fanatics in the United States, with more and more of you climbing on board each week. If you've been following the Formula 1 season, you know the buzz around its growth in the U.S. is palpable. Well, guess what? The latest television viewership numbers from the Canadian Grand Prix are in, and they're not just good – they're record-breaking, adding yet another bullet point to the undeniable story of F1's booming popularity stateside. Advertisement Related: Final F1 movie trailer ignites anticipation ahead of June release Canadian Grand Prix sets new record for viewers in the U.S. Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images The recent race in Montreal, broadcast live on ABC on Sunday, June 15, pulled in an astonishing 1.9 million viewers for the race-only portion. That's not just a significant number, it's the largest audience ever for the Canadian Grand Prix on U.S. television, even surpassing last year's record of 1.8 million. And for those tracking the future of the sport, the demographic numbers are equally encouraging, with 854,000 viewers in the crucial 18-49 age bracket tuning in. Even Saturday's qualifying session on ESPN2 snagged a respectable 593,000 viewers. This success wasn't a fluke. The favorable North American time slot, kicking off at 2 PM Eastern Daylight Time, meant many U.S. fans could watch the high-octane action in prime daylight hours, without setting early alarms or staying up late. This accessible timing, combined with the exciting on-track action, clearly resonated with American audiences.

Out of nine F1 races so far this season, all but one have seen year-over-year viewership increases, and five of them – Australia, China, Monaco, Spain, and Canada – have set event records. The Monaco Grand Prix alone drew the third-largest live audience ever for a Formula 1 race on U.S. television. Overall, F1 races are now averaging a robust 1.3 million viewers across ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC, a solid 6% jump year-over-year for the season-to-date. The younger 18-49 demographic is seeing even steeper growth, up 13% over the season-to-date average. Advertisement The momentum is undeniable. With the Austrian Grand Prix up next on June 29, F1 continues to cement its place as a major player in the American sports landscape.

When does 'Bachelor in Paradise' start? Full 2025 cast list, location and everything else to know about Season 10.
Pack your bags, Bachelor Nation: We're finally headed back to paradise. ABC's beach-set spinoff, which sees eliminated contestants of Bachelor franchises reunite on a picturesque beach for another chance at love, is back after a brief hiatus. This season, the usual Paradise location of Sayulita, Mexico, has also been swapped for Costa Rica's Playa Samara. The show's return also comes with a twist: For the first time in Bachelor in Paradise history, former Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette contestants will be flocking to the beach alongside their younger franchise counterparts. While the decision to mix contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette with Golden alum initially drew backlash from fans — many have voiced concerns about witnessing uncomfortable interactions between the younger women and older men — Season 10 proceeded as planned. 'I think it's going to be really exciting and really fresh as well,' host Jesse Palmer told Decider in July. 'There's so much new stuff happening in Costa Rica, which I thought was the perfect backdrop for this season. Having the Golden cast was amazing. It brought so much to the show.' Here's everything to know about this season of Bachelor in Paradise ahead of its Monday night premiere. Season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise premieres on July 7 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Hulu. This year, Paradise takes place in Costa Rica. Season 10 marks the first time the spinoff series has departed from its typical shooting location of Mexico. The reason for the move, executive producer Scott Teti told Entertainment Weekly, was to capture the 'new vibe' of the show. 'I think the drive to move was based on shaking things up stylistically with a new vibe and a new kind of Paradise,' he said. 'This also is very production friendly. It's a very private beach. It's very secluded, but it also has the ability for our production to stay on one side of the sister hotel, and the newer portion of the Azuara Beach Resort, where we will be filming, is right next door. It's this beautiful sexy, new location.' Unlike past seasons, contestants will also be staying in actual hotel rooms, as opposed to open-air cabanas. 'The hotel where they're going to be staying is more upscale and has a sexy chicness to it that feels a little bit elevated than the traditional kind of Paradise world we've been in. The cast can literally open up the doors to their rooms and swim out into the pool under bridges, and then up to a beautiful bar that is touching the beach,' Teti told Entertainment Weekly. This season of Bachelor in Paradise will feature a mix of contestants who've previously appeared on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette. Here is the full list of announced contestants: Bailey Brown, The Bachelor Season 29 Alexe-Anne 'Alexe' Godin, The Bachelor Season 29 Zoe McGrady, The Bachelor Season 29 Katherine 'Kat' Izzo, The Bachelorette Season 27, Bachelor in Paradise, Season 9 Lexi Young, The Bachelor Season 28 Jessica 'Jess' Edwards, The Bachelor Season 28 Justin Glaze, The Bachelorette Season 17, Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 Brian Autz, The Bachelorette Season 21 Kyle Howard, The Bachelorette Season 17 Spencer Conley, The Bachelorette Season 21 Dale Moss, The Bachelorette Season 16 Sam McKinney, The Bachelorette Season 21 Jonathon Johnson, The Bachelorette Season 21 Jeremy Simon, The Bachelorette Season 21 Hakeem Moulton, The Bachelorette Season 21 Riquerdy 'Ricky' Marinez, The Bachelorette Season 21 April Kirkwood, The Golden Bachelor Season 1 Charles 'CK' King, The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 Jack Lencioni, The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 Kathy Swarts, The Golden Bachelor Season 1 Keith Gordon, The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 Kim Buike, The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 Leslie Fhima, The Golden Bachelor Season 1 Natascha Hardee, The Golden Bachelor Season 1 Ralph 'RJ' Johnson, The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 Gary Levingston, The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 Palmer will be returning as the host of Bachelor in Paradise. Joining him on the beach is Wells Adams, who will be reprising his role as the show's bartender, and former bachelorette Hannah Brown, who will help contestants navigate their journeys as the head of 'Paradise Relations.' 'To me, the foundation and the pillar of the whole franchise is love: finding love, giving people an opportunity — sometimes a second or third chance — to find that,' Palmer told Us Weekly in July. 'Paradise in a big way is a lot about redemption. To me, finding love and engagement is paramount. In my opinion, that's ultimately what the show should always be about.' ABC's decision to include Golden contestants was initially met with backlash from fans of the franchise. Fans mainly voiced their concerns about potentially seeing older men from The Golden Bachelorette attempt to date younger women from past seasons of The Bachelor. One fan on X wrote, 'I hope this is a joke because I don't know how this franchise will recover from 70 year old men hitting on 23 year old women. And you cannot convince me that won't happen. Hopefully they just aren't explaining everything? Help,' while another added, 'The idea of golden bachelor in paradise with the regular young cast is giving sexual harassment case impending.' Adams, in an interview with Decider, admitted that he, like a lot of Bachelor Nation, was apprehensive about the Golden additions. But he was pleasantly surprised by how the season actually unfolded. 'I was a little apprehensive, which I think Bachelor Nation feels, about the Goldens coming,' he said. 'But I couldn't have been more wrong about it. I was a little nervous, because it's hot. It's long days, and I don't want to kill anybody. But I'm not lying when I say that the Goldens brought so much more energy than the youngs did.' 'God bless the Goldens,' he added. Adams recently told Us Weekly that this season's episodes will also look more 'cinematic.' 'We have been using the same cameras to film Paradise since the dawn of time,' he told the outlet. 'Having these new cameras and seeing how sharp and how slick it looks — it's like I'm watching a movie. When they told me that they were gonna do this, I was really excited about it. Mainly because the show is so sexy, naturally — everyone's so hot — we should have the highest quality cameras capturing the beauty of these people.' Palmer also told Decider that this season features 'a lot of stuff you've never seen before.' 'Wells, Hannah, and I got to spend a lot of time in the control room together watching everything unfold,' he said. 'We would meet at my palapa and have drinks after to digest everything that we just saw. There's a lot of love, there's a lot of drama, there's some crazy — and we're like, 'You know it's bad when, when we need cocktails to try and digest it.' Or I should say, 'You know it's really good!' So I'm excited for people at home to see.'

What to Stream: Spielberg looks back at 'Jaws,' Clipse reunite and 'Bachelor in Paradise' is flirty
Steven Spielberg reflecting on his shark blockbuster in the documentary 'Jaws @ 50" and Clipse, the dynamic duo of Pusha T and Malice, returning for the album 'Let God Sort Em Out' are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Burna Boy's eighth studio album, EA Sports' College Football 26 and Season 10 of 'Bachelor in Paradise,' which will include contestants from 'Golden Bachelor' and 'Golden Bachelorette.' New movies to stream from July 7-13 — Steven Spielberg reflects on the 'life altering experience' that was 'Jaws,' which celebrates its 50th anniversary this summer, in the new documentary 'Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story,' streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on Friday, July 11. Voices include those who worked on the film, like composer John Williams, production designer Joe Alves and actors like Jonathan Filley and Lorriane Gary, as well as filmmaker luminaries from James Cameron and Jordan Peele to George Lucas. — Alex Ross Perry's experimental documentary about the '90s indie band Pavement ('Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain') will be streaming on Mubi on Friday, July 11. There are actors ('Stranger Things'' Joe Keery, Nat Wolff, Jason Schwartzman), the real guys (Stephen Malkmus), archival footage and irreverent stagings that help evoke the spirit of the band, and kind of tell their story, as unconventionally as possible. The AP named it one of the best of the year, so far. — Writer-director Mark Anthony Green's debut movie 'Opus,' a cult-horror about a reclusive pop star and a mysterious retreat, did not receive the best reviews out of the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. But it touts the kind of cast and intriguing premise that makes it a hard-to-resist curiosity, with Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich leading, that begins streaming on HBO Max on Friday, July 11. In his AP review, Mark Kennedy wrote, 'How both could be totally miscast will haunt your dreams.' Kennedy added, 'Green wobbles as he tries to land this plane and what had been an intriguing premise to talk about fame and the parasitic industries that live off it turns into a gross-out, run-for-it bloodfest and a plot that unravels.' — AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr New music to stream from July 7-13 — The rap record of the summer is here. Clipse, the dynamic duo of Pusha T and Malice, return for 'Let God Sort Em Out' on Friday, their first new project as a duo in over 15 years. They're as keen as ever; there's been no dull to either's flow in that time. And if that's not a strong enough co-sign, a quick look at the album's features will confirm its greatness: Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Nas, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, The-Dream, Ab-Liva, Stove God Cooks and more are featured. — Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, a leading voice in Afrobeats, will release his eighth studio album, 'No Sign of Weakness,' on Thursday. It's a high-energy good time, as first made apparent in the percussion-heavy 'TaTaTa' featuring rapper Travis Scott. — It was one of the best-selling albums of all time. On Friday, July 11, Backstreet Boys' 1999 boy band classic, 'Millennium,' gets a facelift with the release of 'Millennium 2.0.' It's a deluxe reissue, now with a brand-new song, B-sides and live recordings. And that makes you larger than life. — AP Music Writer Maria Sherman New series to stream from July 7-13 — ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' marks its 10th season this summer with a golden twist. Contestants from 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'The Golden Bachelorette' are sent to a resort in Costa Rica to have fun in the sun and possibly make romantic connections. There's also a number of younger 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' cast members who randomly get added to the mix. Jesse Palmer hosts with Bachelor Nation favorites Wells Adams serving as in-house bartender and Hannah Brown, who is in charge of Paradise Relations, whatever that means. It begins streaming Tuesday on Hulu. — Peyton Manning's Netflix docuseries 'Quarterback' returns for a second season. Cameras follow NFL Quarterbacks Joe Burrow of the Cleveland Browns, Jared Goff of The Detroit Lions and Kirk Cousins. Cousins was also featured in Season 1 as the QB for the Minnesota Vikings but in Season 2 we see him injured from a torn Achilles. He eventually parts ways with the Vikings (who drafted Michigan's J.J. McCarthy ) and signs with the Atlanta Falcons. All eight episodes drop Tuesday. — There's a 'Bosch' spinoff premiering Wednesday on Prime Video focusing on LAPD homicide detective Renée Ballard (who you may recognize from the 'Bosch: Legacy' series finale.) 'Ballard," starring Maggie Q as the titular character, is also based on books by Michael Connelly. — Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network presents 'a social experiment' where three families live 'Little House on the Prairie'-style for eight weeks. 'Back to the Frontier' streams a new episode for eight-weeks beginning Thursday on Max. — Meg Stalter of 'Hacks' stars in a new Netflix comedy from Lena Dunham called 'Too Much.' It's a semi-autobiographical story about Dunham's life about a heartbroken New Yorker who moves to London to begin anew and finds herself drawn to a musician (Will Sharpe,) against her better judgment. An impressive roster of talent including Andrew Rannells, Naomi Watts, Kit Harington, Andrew Scott, Rhea Perlman, Richard E. Grant and Rita Ora make appearances. All 10 episodes drop Thursday. — Dexter Morgan takes Manhattan in 'Dexter: Resurrection,' a sequel to 2021's 'Dexter: New Blood.' Michael C. Hall reprises his role as the serial killer who hunts other serial killers. In 'Resurrection,' Dexter meets a secret society of serial killers led by a character played by Peter Dinklage. David Zayas continues his role of detective Angel Batista from the original. It premieres Friday, July 11. — The cast of 'Love Island USA' was so popular, they've got their own spin-off called 'Love Island: Beyond the Villa." The show follows six of the core cast living in LA as they adjust to the limelight and attempt to maintain their relationships. It debuts Sunday, July 13, on Peacock. — MGM+ has an adaptation of Stephen King's 2019 novel 'The Institute.' It's about a teenage boy named Luke — with an exceptionally high intellect — who wakes up a strange, unknown facility run by the government that imprisons kids with unique abilities. The sci-fi horror series is eight-episodes and stars Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker. It premieres Sunday, July 13. — Alicia Rancilio New video games to play from July 7-13 — What's in the works for EA Sports' College Football 26? Dozens of new mascots! We're talking Oregon State's Benny the Beaver, Akron's Zippy the Kangaroo and the already legendary Pop-Tarts Mascot. Real-life coaches like Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman and Georgia's Kirby Smart are joining the fun. And your new cover models are wide receivers Ryan Williams of Alabama and Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State. EA drew a huge audience last year when it returned to the NCAA gridiron after a decade-long hiatus, and this season promises 2,800 new plays and unique coaching schemes to go along with slicker graphics and tighter gameplay. The real season is still more than a month away, but you can begin your tailgate party Thursday on PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S. — It has been nearly 50 years since Atari ruled the arcades, but the brand has resurfaced recently with modernized versions of classics like Asteroids, Breakout and Berzerk. Missile Command Delta is something different, redefining the original shoot-em-up as a turn-based tactical challenge. It takes place in an abandoned bunker with plenty of locked rooms and other puzzles, so there's more to do than just protecting your bases — there's a whole mystery to solve. Maybe it involves Pong? Save the world all over again Tuesday on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch and PC.
