HGTV is going to transform the iconic mansion from The Bachelor franchise when Bachelor Mansion Takeover premieres Monday, March 2 at 8PM ET/PT.

Bachelor Mansion Takeover, a brand new reality design competition series, will feature 12 The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelor, and The Golden Bachelorette alums competing to be the last person standing and winner of a $100,000 cash prize.

Bachelor Mansion Takeover will be hosted by Jesse Palmer and judged by The Bachelorette alums Tayshia Adams and Tyler Cameron, who will evaluate transformed spaces alongside a third -- and surprise -- guest judge from Bachelor Nation or the HGTV family.

The first guest judge will be The Bachelorette's Season 15 star Hannah Brown.

Subsequent guest judges will include HGTV host and designer Christina Haack, The Bachelorette's Season 12 star JoJo Fletcher, designer and The Bachelor fan Nate Berkus, actress and The Bachelor fan Rachel Bilson, and The Bachelor's Season 17 star Sean Lowe.

Allyshia Gupta, Brendan Morais, Chris Stallworth, Courtney Robertson, Dean Unglert, Jeremy Simon, Jill Chin, Joan Vassos, Noah Erb, Sam McKinney, Sandra Mason, and Tammy Ly are the competitors who will be putting their design and renovation skills to the test while transforming iconic and never-before-seen Bachelor mansion spaces.

Rooms that will be renovated include bunk rooms, the rose room, the pool area, the mixer room, the terrace and the kitchen, and stars will be eliminated in weekly elimination challenges.

"In each episode, the competitors will take bold design risks, form alliances and face shocking eliminations all while being evaluated on their creativity and craftsmanship by the series' judges," HGTV teased of the new show.

Jesse shared that viewers will see the mansion like they've never seen it before on ABC's The Bachelor spinoffs.

"Our 12 contestants have already lived through the twists and turns of The Bachelor franchise. They know this is not going to be easy," Jesse said.

"And the clock is ticking because this renovation has to be finished before a new season of The Bachelorette begins."

During the show's first episode, the competitors will test their knowledge in a renovation math challenge with immunity on the line.

Afterward, The Bachelor alums will be split into two teams and tasked with updating the mansion's tired bunk rooms into luxury retreats.

"Tensions will rise as both teams quickly devise a plan to revamp their spaces, and the group is rattled when a fate card prompts the first elimination before the design challenge is complete," the network shared.

Hannah will then arrive to assess the men's Tuscany and Santorini-inspired bedrooms as well as the women's Mediterranean-style bedrooms.

Following Bachelor Mansion Takeover's debut, each new episode will be available to stream the next day on HBO Max and discovery+ beginning on March 2.
