Per usual, additional familiar faces from The Bachelor franchise, who have yet to be announced, will arrive on the beach in Mexico as the season progresses, including more men from Katie Thurston's The Bachelorette season, which is currently airing on Monday nights on ABC.

The 19 Bachelor in Paradise cast members include Karl Smith from The Bachelorette 17 who got eliminated early in the process after the guys in the house banded against him and warned Katie he had told her a lie about several men being on the show for the wrong reasons.

Bachelor in Paradise will also feature Abigail Heringer, Serena Pitt, Victoria Larson, Jessenia Cruz, Mari Pepin-Solis, and Serena Chew from Matt James' season of The Bachelor, which just wrapped earlier this year.

While Abigail was dubbed the season's sincere sweetheart and served as an inspiration given she was born deaf, Victoria was the season's villain.

Victoria's aggressive tactics, confident attitude, and cattiness towards the other women rubbed people the wrong way.

And Serena P. memorably made it to hometown dates on Season 25 but dumped Matt because she came to believe he was not her "person."

From Season 24 of The Bachelor, Peter Weber's edition, viewers will be reacquainted with Kelsey Weier, Victoria Paul, Natasha Parker, Deandra Kanu, Tammy Ly, and Maurissa Gunn.

Kelsey is best remembered for making it all the way to hometown dates, and Victoria P. got sent home during a group date after being involved in pageant-queen drama with Alayah Benavidez.

Going back to The Bachelorette's sixteenth season, which starred Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams last year, Bachelor in Paradise will welcome Brendan Morais, Ivan Hall, Noah Erb, and Kenny Braasch.

As fans probably recall, Brendan was a frontrunner all season long but self-eliminated because the once-married bachelor appeared to get a case of cold feet in regards to potentially proposing marriage again to Tayshia.

Ivan, a fan-favorite on Tayshia's season, finished in third place on Tayshia's portion of the season.

Bachelor in Paradise's initial cast also includes Tahzjuan Hawkins from Season 23 of The Bachelor starring Colton Underwood.

And finally, fan-favorite Joe Amabile will return for another shot at love following his January 2020 breakup with Kendall Long after moving in together and more than one year of dating.

After Joe competed on Season 14 of The Bachelorette starring Becca Kufrin, he fell in love with Kendall on Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2018. He subsequently also competed on Dancing with the Stars.

Kendall admitted during a May appearance on The Ben and Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast that seeing Joe on Bachelor in Paradise would "suck so, so much."

"It would be so hard," Kendall told the podcast's hosts Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti at the time.

When imagining herself and Joe on the same BIP season again, Kendall admitted, "I would not want to watch him fall in love with someone else. Definitely not. That would suck so, so much."

"I want him to be happy," she added. "I want him to find love -- but not in front of my face... I still have a tremendous amount of love for him."

According to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, however, Kendall also flew to Mexico to film Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season.

In addition to Kendall, Carbone reported the following women will also make an appearance on Bachelor in Paradise this summer: Alayah, Pieper James, Mykenna Dorn, Alexa Caves, Chelsea Vaughn, and Alana Milne.

And the following guys, according to the spoiler blogger, will show up: Chris Conran, Chasen Nick, Joe Park, Demar Jackson, Riley Christian, and Ed Waisbrot.

Carbone also reported Thomas Jacobs from Katie's The Bachelorette season will be on Bachelor in Paradise as well as (spoiler alert!) Connor Brennan, who hasn't been eliminated by Katie yet.

Former The Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin will also reportedly grace the resort with her presence.

Following Chris Harrison's permanent exit from The Bachelor franchise, Bachelor in Paradise's seventh season will reportedly be hosted by a group of guest hosts -- actor and comedian David Spade, former NSYNC boyband member Lance Bass, rapper Lil Jon, actor Tituss Burgess, and The Bachelor alum Nick Viall.

Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams will be serving as the resort's bartender as well as "master of ceremonies," meaning he will preside over cocktail parties and Rose Ceremonies.

Wells recently teased everyone is in for "a really fun ride" during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
