A whopping 30 beautiful and accomplished bachelorettes will be eager to win Peter's heart, but heads will turn and questions will rise once Hannah steps out of a limo on Night 1.
The women will compete to capture Peter's attention -- including one woman who brings a giant paper airplane with her and three flight attendants looking to become the pilot's partner.

"He is encouraged he might meet his wife, but there is one hard-charging career woman who has already had a chance encounter with the Bachelor and sparks flew then," ABC teases.
"What will the other women think of her? It is nothing compared to the loud scream when Hannah B. steps out of the limo. Why would she be here?"
After Peter meets his lineup of bachelorettes, it will be a race for the women to secure private, meaningful time with The Bachelor star.
One assertive charmer will steal Peter away multiple times during the cocktail party and also steal a kiss, and then Peter will hand out the coveted First Impression Rose.
Peter will then endure "a very emotional first Rose Ceremony," according to the network, as he must say goodbye to eight bachelorettes, some of whom predict the pilot may be in for a bumpy ride with this group of feisty ladies this season.

But the premiere won't end there, unlike with seasons past.
In a The Bachelor first, the three-hour event will feature the season's first group date as well as Peter's first one-on-one date of the season.
The first group date will be comprised of nine competitive women going through "flight school" with the following special guests leading the set of drills: Veteran Marine Corps pilot Alisa Johnson and Katie Higgins Cook, the first female pilot in the Navy's elite Blue Angels demonstration squad.
The winner will receive a special sunset flight alone with Peter.

One beautiful "girl next door" will later receive a one-on-one date with Peter in which she flies to meet his entire family at his parents' vow renewal in celebration of their 31 years of marriage.
"But will she fit in?" ABC teases. "Breakout country music artist Tenille Arts performs her new song, 'Somebody Like That,' for the special occasion."
And finally, Hannah B. will serve as the host of Peter's next group.
Hannah will announce to the participating nine bachelorettes they must reveal their most memorable sex stories and fantasies in front of a live audience.

"But what happens when Peter discovers a distraught Hannah backstage?" ABC reveals.
"What she shares with him will leave them both as confused as ever. Do the two of them still have feelings for one another and share the same sizzling passion? Will Hannah join the group of women in the Bachelor mansion and continue to date Peter?"
Season highlights for The Bachelor's 24th season and the official list of Peter's bachelorettes will all be released by ABC at a later date.
Season 24 of The Bachelor began filming on September 20 at the show's usual Malibu mansion in California and wrapped in November.
Peter returned to social media in late November after handing out roses and hopefully falling in love.
"Just got back from two months of the most insane journey ever... Told my boy everything and he can't believe it!" Peter captioned a photo of himself smiling with his dog on Instagram.
Peter finished Hannah's season of The Bachelorette in third place earlier this year.
