Beginning the following week, Bachelor in Paradise will air on Monday and Tuesday nights from 8-10PM ET/PT.
The bachelors and bachelorettes will all receive a second or third shot at finding love on reality TV in Mexico, and several additional cast members -- including presumably some of the men who haven't been shown being eliminated from Becca Kufrin's The Bachelorette season yet -- will be announced at a later date.
The new season will feature "shocking twists, surprises, unexpected guests, and some of the most unlikely relationships" in Bachelor history, according to the network.
Will any of these romantic hopefuls follow in the footsteps of Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, or Carly Waddell and Evan Bass, who met on different seasons of Bachelor in Paradise and ultimately got married?

Newly-engaged Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon are also proof love can be found in Paradise, as they first met on Season 2.
The Season 5 cast includes Bibiana Julian and Kevin Wendt, who both competed on The Bachelor Winter Games earlier this year.
And two rivals from Becca Kufrin's currently-airing season of The Bachelorette, David Ravitz and Jordan Kimball, will also appear on Bachelor in Paradise this summer.
ABC also confirmed former The Bachelorette bachelor Wells Adams will return as Bachelor in Paradise's bartender again this season, and be joined by The Bachelor Winter Games bachelorette Yuki Kimura.
Chris Harrison had shared a photo of Wells and Yuki, along with the show's former bartender Jorge, on Instagram late last week.
