Bachelor in Paradise's first wave of cast members for Season 10 has been unveiled.

ABC has announced the 16 cast members who will be featured on Bachelor in Paradise's premiere episode on Monday, July 7 at 8PM ET/PT.

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette alums already filmed Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season in Costa Rica.

Jesse Palmer was on location as host, and Wells Adams reprised his role as bartender. In addition, The Bachelorette alum Hannah Brown took on a new "Paradise Relations" role in the all-new Champagne Lounge.

The identities of many Bachelor in Paradise 10 cast members had already leaked out in May -- including two surprising returnees: Kat Izzo and Dale Moss.

Other names that had leaked included Andrew Spencer, Alexe Godin, Brian Autz, Hakeem Moulton, Jonathon Johnson, Jeremy Simon, and Spencer Conley.

ABC confirmed that Kat, Dale, Alexe, Brian, Hakeem, Jonathon, Jeremy and Spencer will all be on Bachelor in Paradise's debut episode for Season 10. (Andrew will not be).

In addition to those returnees, ABC revealed the show will also feature Bailey Taylor Brown, Jessica "Jess" Edwards, Justin Glaze, Kyle Howard, Lexi Young, Riquerdy "Ricky" Marinez, Sam McKinney, and Zoe McGrady in Episode 1.

Zoe had shared how she'd love to look for love on Bachelor in Paradise during The Bachelor: After the Final Rose for Joey Graziadei's season in March.

Hakeem and Jonathon had also previously confirmed they wanted a second shot at love in Paradise.

"This season is raising the bar on romance, with every detail perfectly shaken, stirred and sparkling, when the series returns," ABC said in a press release.

The 16 cast members will be joined by more The Bachelor and The Bachelorette alums as the season progresses. As people are eliminated at Rose Ceremonies, more familiar faces will be added to the mix.

Many The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette alums from Gerry Turner and Joan Vassos' seasons, respectively, will also be on the beach in Costa Rica.

"For the first time, the Goldens are also joining the fun, proving once again that age is just a number as they bring their experience, and a little extra spice, to show the younger crowd how it's done," ABC teased.

As previously announced, Golden alums Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston are set to appear on Bachelor in Paradise this season.

Additional cast announcements are expected to be released soon.
