The 12 cast members announced during the Grand Hotel broadcast were Hannah Godwin, Caelynn Miller-Keyes, Nicole Lopez-Alvar, Onyeka Ehie, Katie Morton, Annaliese Puccini, Kevin Fortenberry, Wills Reid, Derek Peth, Adrianne "Jane" Aver, Sydney Lotuaco, and Chris Bukowski.
Hannah G., Caelynn, Nicole, Onyeka, Katie, Jane, and Sydney all competed on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor earlier this year.
Annaliese appeared on Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s edition of The Bachelor in 2018, Wills fought for Becca Kufrin's heart on The Bachelorette's fourteenth season, and Derek tried to win over JoJo Fletcher on Season 12 of The Bachelorette.
Derek is only about a year removed from his breakup with Bachelor in Paradise alum Taylor Nolan. The pair got engaged on the spin off's fourth season in 2017 but subsequently split in June 2018.
While it was filmed in earlier this spring, Kevin was just shown being eliminated by Hannah Brown on last night's episode of The Bachelorette.
Chris initially found fame way back on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette.
After appearing on multiple subsequent spinoffs and never finding lasting love, Chris famously announced his "retirement" from The Bachelor franchise in 2015. However, Chris has apparently had a change of heart.

ABC initially announced the first seven cast members of Bachelor in Paradise's upcoming season on Good Morning America on Monday morning.
Those seven bachelors and bachelorettes were Tayshia Adams, Demi Burnett, Bibiana Julian, Cam Ayala, John Paul Jones, Blake Horstmann, and Clay Harbor.

Clay recently split from Bachelor in Paradise alum Angela Amezcua.
ABC will announce additional Bachelor in Paradise cast members in the future, however these 19 cast members arrived at the resort in Mexico on Day 1 as Season 6's original cast members when filming began earlier this month.
Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone pretty much nailed the Day 1 lineup in his reporting except he did not anticipate Sydney would be one of the original cast members.
Carbone also claimed one other man from Hannah B.'s currently-airing season of The Bachelorette would appear on the first day, although it remains to be confirmed since ABC would wait until after his The Bachelorette elimination to announce him. Click here to read the spoiler.

According to Carbone, however, the following bachelors and bachelorettes will also be gracing the show with their presence at some point during Season 6: Heather Martin, Kirpa Sudick, Haley Ferguson, Jennifer Saviano, and Christian Estrada.
In addition, Carbone reported Joe Barsano and Matt Donald from Hannah B.'s season will be part of the cast, as well as Kristina Schulman, Bri Barnes, Dean Unglert, Jordan Kimball, Whitney Fransway and Danielle Lombard.

And Brooks Forester, who memorably broke Desiree Hartsock's heart on her The Bachelorette season, is also likely to participate, although Carbone isn't 100 percent sure on that.
Heather and Kirpa both appeared on Colton's The Bachelor season, and Haley and Jennifer competed for Ben Higgins.
Haley and Jennifer also previously appeared on Bachelor in Paradise before. Haley never found her match in Mexico, but Jennifer came pretty close to the end of the process on Season 3.
Jennifer fell hard for Nick in Paradise, but he went on to become The Bachelor star in 2017.
Christian got eliminated on Night 1 from Becca's The Bachelorette season.
And Kristina, Dean, Jordan, and Danielle are all Bachelor in Paradise alums.
It will be interesting to see how Kristina, Danielle and Dean interact considering they were involved in a love triangle the last time they all appeared on the Paradise spinoff together.
Carbone reported over 30 people will show up at the resort in Mexico for the new Bachelor in Paradise season.
