This summer's cast includes fan-favorites and standouts from the current season of The Bachelorette, as well as alums from Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s Bachelor season, Nick Viall's Bachelor season, and even Bachelor Winter Games. Click through to see all the contestants we know so far. (More will be announced at a later date.)
Angela Amezcua: Amezcua didn't find love on Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor, but she's hoping to have better luck on Bachelor in Paradise. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Annaliese Puccini: Puccini made her mark on Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor, where she memorably struggled with past traumas involving dogs and bumper cars. Perhaps the beach will be a safer place for her. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Astrid Loch: The office manager from Tampa, Florida, stepped onto the scene during season 21 of The Bachelor. She didn't make a connection with Nick Viall, but maybe she'll find true love with someone on this list. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Bibiana Julian: Julian didn't have much luck when she competed for Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s heart on season 22 of The Bachelor, but she did connect with Jordan Mauger on The Bachelor Winter Games. Their romance was short-lived, though, so Bibi will be joining her fellow Bachelor Nation members on BiP. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Chelsea Roy: Roy earned the coveted first impression rose on Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor, but she went home a little more than halfway through the competition. Maybe Paradise will be a better fit. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Chris Randone: Randone seemed like a contender at the start of Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette, but his constant petty feuding with the other guys led Kufrin to send him home on the July 2 episode. Let's hope he makes a better impression in Paradise. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Colton Underwood: Underwood made it to Becca Kufrin's final four but was sent home on the July 16 episode. He was the cause of some drama earlier this season, because he dated Kufrin's friend Tia Booth prior to The Bachelorette. Booth (who is also on season 5 of BiP) initially told Kufrin there was nothing between them anymore, but she later confessed that she actually still had feelings for Underwood. Will they rekindle their romance in Mexico? (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Connor Obrochta: Obrochta is another alum from Becca Kufrin's Bachelorette season. You may remember him from the infamous framed photo feud with Lincoln Adim in episode two. Here's hoping we have some better memories of him after Mexico. (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
David Ravitz: Ravitz left Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette under less-than-friendly circumstances after he and rival Jordan Kimball clashed during a cringeworthy two-on-one date. Kimball will be joining Ravitz in Paradise, so we might see another confrontation or two before the sand settles. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Eric Bigger: Bigger won over his fair share of fans during Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette last year, but he's still looking for his happily-ever-after. We're rooting for him to find it in Mexico. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Joe Amabile: Charismatic grocery store owner Amabile became an early fan-favorite on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette, but she sent him home on the very first night. Fortunately for us, Bachelor in Paradise producers heard our pleas and are giving him another shot at love. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
John Graham: Graham didn't get a ton of screen time before he was sent home on the June 25 episode of The Bachelorette, but fans grew to love his quiet charm anyway. Unfortunately for him, his spark with Becca Kufrin never turned into a lasting fire. Here's hoping he'll find more heat on the beach. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Jordan Kimball: Prior to his exit in the June 25 episode, male model Kimball was one of the most memorable contestants on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette. His feud with David Ravitz dominated several weeks of the competition, so we're bracing ourselves for more awkwardness in Mexico. Also, how will Jordan maintain his perfect hair in the sizzling heat?

Kendall Long: Long's adventurous spirit and unique hobbies (taxidermy, anyone?) made her a favorite on Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor, so we're excited to see what kind of fun she kicks up on the beach. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Kenny Layne: Professional wrestler Kenny Layne (AKA Kenny King) left Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette because he was missing his daughter back home. But he's ready to try to find love on BiP. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Kevin Wendt:Bachelorette Canada alum Wendt found what seemed like a lasting connection with Ashley Iaconetti during The Bachelor Winter Games, but the two broke up soon after the show finished airing, and now he's ready to find his special someone in a warmer climate. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Krystal Nielson: Nielson became the unrivaled villain during Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor. She was always good for a little drama or a ridiculous quote — much like Jordan Kimball on season 14 of The Bachelorette — so she should keep things interesting. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Nick Spetsas: Spetsas didn't form a lasting bond with Becca Kufrin on her season of The Bachelorette, but he charmed audiences enough to earn a spot on BiP. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Nysha Norris: Norris was eliminated in the first week of competition on Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor, but she'll get a second chance to meet her reality TV match in Paradise. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Tia Booth: Booth and Arie Luyendyk Jr. seemed to enjoy each other's company on season 22 of The Bachelor, but he cut their time short by sending her home a couple of weeks before the final rose ceremony. The Arkansas native also briefly dated current Bachelorette contestant Colton Underwood, which caused some drama earlier this season. All of that seems to be water under the bridge, though, so she'll be making waves down in Mexico. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Wells Adams (bartender): Adams is a beloved member of Bachelor Nation, but since he's currently dating Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland, he'll be back on the BiP beach as the bartender. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Wills Reid: Reid was a fan favorite on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette, but she sent him home on the July 9 episode. (Photo via ABC/Craig Sjodin)
Yuki Kimura (bartender):Bachelor Japan contestant Kimura was beloved on Bachelor Winter Games, but the language barrier made it difficult for her to find love. She made plenty of friends and fans, though, so she'll be helping Wells pour drinks as the second bartender on BiP. (Photo via ABC/Edward Herrera)
