The Bachelor spinoff will premiere with a two-night event on Sunday, August 2 and Monday, August 3 from 8-10PM ET/PT.
The series is filmed in the exotic location of Mexico and features individuals looking to get a second chance at finding love with twists, surprises and unexpected guests along the way. Will they find a lasting relationship or just get heartbroken again?
One "mystery woman" will appear on the show as well as four men from Kaitlyn Bristowe's current season of The Bachelorette who will be announced at a later date.
Chris Harrison will resume his role as host of Bachelor in Paradise.
Bachelor in Paradise's first season concluded in Summer 2014 with Lacy Faddoul and Marcus Grodd getting engaged as well as Michelle Money and Cody Sattler dating.
Below is a list of the majority of contestants who will be appearing on Bachelor in Paradise 2:
The bachelorettes:
- Jillian Anderson, a 25-year-old news producer from Washington DC (The Bachelor, Season 19 with Chris Soules)
This news producer scored a one-on-one date with Chris Soules when she won the mud run, but unfortunately, not a rose as Chris sent her home that night. With her rockin' bikini bod, Jillian vows she will make a better impression in Paradise.
- Ashley Salter, a 25-year-old hairstylist from Alpharetta, GA (The Bachelor, Season 19 with Chris Soules)
Who can forget the onion girl? Beautiful Ashley S. made quite the impression on Chris with her bizarre antics, and, unfortunately, she was sent home. After explaining her behavior at Women Tell All by claiming she was "just bored," it's safe to say Paradise will be much more interesting with Ashley.
- Jade Roper, a 28-year-old cosmetics developer from Los Angeles, CA (The Bachelor, Season 19 with Chris Soules)
Jade was falling hard for Chris, so much so that she brought him to meet her family and revealed her risque past, only to be dumped a few days later. Hopefully for Jade, the guys in Paradise will be more open-minded and appreciate dating a "wild mustang."
- Carly Waddell, a 29-year-old cruise ship singer from Arlington, TX (The Bachelor, Season 19 with Chris Soules)
Vying for the heart of Chris Soules, Carly got caught up in drama with Britt on her season of The Bachelor and Chris ultimately sent both women home. In Paradise, she's hoping to form a real connection and is ready to woo the men with her sultry singing voice.
- Clare Crawley, a 34-year-old hairstylist from Sacramento, CA (The Bachelor, Season 18 with Juan Pablo Galavis / Bachelor in Paradise 1)
Things didn't work out for Clare with Juan Pablo, or with Zack Kalter last summer on Bachelor in Paradise, but at least she made a new best friend in Mexico -- a raccoon. Hopefully, this year Clare finds a lasting relationship with a man in Paradise.
- Ashley Iaconneti, a 27-year-old freelance journalist from Wayne, NJ (The Bachelor, Season 19 with Chris Soules)
After getting the dreaded two-on-one date, Ashley I. was blindsided by Chris Soules when he let her go and left her in tears in the Badlands. Hopefully in Paradise Ashley will finally meet her Prince Charming -- or she will need a lot of waterproof mascara!
- Tenley Mohlzan, a 30-year-old nutritionist from Encinitas, CA (The Bachelor, Season 14 with Jake Pavelka / Bachelor Pad 1)
After being dumped by Jake Pavelka when he proposed to Vienna Girardi, and then having her heart broken last year by her Bachelor Pad love, Kiptyn Locke, Tenley is ready for her happy ending. Hopefully, Paradise will prove the third time really is the charm for Tenley!
- Juelia Kinney, a 30-year-old full-time mom from Portland, OR (The Bachelor, Season 19 with Chris Soules)
This single mom broke Chris' heart when she told him the story of losing her husband to suicide. Despite knowing he and Juelia weren't a good match, Chris Soules was in tears when he sent her home. Hopefully, for Juelia everything will finally fall into place in Paradise.
- Mystery woman
This sexy mystery woman comes to Paradise this season with an attitude and connections that are sure to shock everyone. There's no telling what kind of drama could ensue as she joins the group on her own quest for true love.
The bachelors:
- Dan Cox, a 32-year-old small business owner from Las Vegas, NV (The Bachelorette, Season 9 with Desiree Hartsock)
Dan didn't put himself out there fast enough to grab Desiree's attention so she sent him home early. Paradise is his chance to make a real connection and hopefully be remembered for more than just ripping his pants.
- Kirk DeWindt, a 32-year-old personal trainer from Minneapolis, MN (The Bachelorette, Season 6 with Ali Fedotowsky / Bachelor Pad 2)
Though Kirk failed to win Ali's heart, he did make quite the impression on viewers with the help of his taxidermist father. Hopefully, this franchise veteran has better luck finding love in Paradise than he did winning money on Bachelor Pad.
- Mikey Tenerelli, a 33-year-old business owner from Winfield, IL (The Bachelorette, Season 9 with Desiree Hartsock)
Mikey failed to win Des' heart on his season but may have gotten out at the perfect time as his conversation with fellow contestant James Case was the controversy of the season just one week after Mikey was sent home. With his priorities in line this time and a fresh outlook on life and love, Mikey comes to Paradise vowing to make a more positive impression.
