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, presumably including more men from Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia The Bachelorette season, which is currently airing on Monday nights on ABC.

The 19 Bachelor in Paradise cast members -- the largest cast in show history -- include Logan Palmer and Jacob Rapini from Gabby and Rachel's season.

Logan received multiple roses from Rachel, a flight instructor, before he decided that he liked Gabby more and wanted to pursue a connection with the ICU nurse instead.

Gabby gave Logan a chance and welcomed him into her team of men, but Logan had to leave the show due to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

"I'm really hoping to meet my future partner on the beach because that's why we're here," Logan says in a teaser for the new season.

Jacob was one of Rachel's suitors who arrived on Night 1 shirtless, riding a white horse.

Jacob upset Gabby mid-season when he told her that he was only interested in Rachel and probably would've quit The Bachelorette had Gabby been the show's only leading lady.

"I can't wait to fall in love!" Jacob notes in the Bachelor in Paradise promo.

Gabby and Rachel originally competed on Clayton Echard's edition of The Bachelor, and women from Clayton's season who will be stepping on the sands of Paradise are Genevieve Parisi, Hailey Malles, Hunter Haag, Jill Chin, Kira Mengistu, Serene Russell, Shanae Ankney, Sierra Jackson, and Teddi Wright.

Bachelor in Paradise's upcoming eighth season will also feature Brandon Jones, Casey Woods, and Romeo Alexander from Michelle Young's The Bachelorette season.

Going back to Katie Thurston's edition, Season 17 of The Bachelorette, three bachelors -- Andrew Spencer, Justin Glaze and Michael Allio -- will be hoping to find The One in Mexico.

The new season also includes Brittany Galvin from Matt James' The Bachelor season, and Lace Morris from Ben Higgins' The Bachelor season, which aired all the way back in 2016.

Lace got engaged to Grant Kemp on the Season 3 finale of Bachelor in Paradise but they split after several months together in November 2016.

Jesse Palmer will be returning as host of Bachelor in Paradise, and Wells Adams will continue in his role as bartender.

Former Bachelor in Paradise couple Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon, who are married with one child, will also made an appearance during the season.

Based on a preview of Bachelor in Paradise, fans have a lot of drama to look forward to.

"When it comes to the drama, you can count me out," Justin says in the trailer. "But you're gonna see me sipping my tea in the corner."

Michael shares how his son James, whom he welcomed with his late wife Laura, remains his top priority, adding that if a woman "hates kids" then "she's not for me."

Teddi notes how a man who "doesn't laugh" at her jokes is a dealbreaker for her in relationships. She previously told Us Weekly how she thought Andrew S. was "cute," "funny," and "the definition of joy," so maybe they'd be a match!
