Bachelor in Paradise said "will you accept this rose?" to a ninth season, and we, the proud members of Bachelor Nation, said hell yes! Fans can't wait to see what this steamy new season will hold, and thankfully we don't have to wait much longer. ABC finally revealed the premiere date for BiP season 9, and it's right around the corner. It's almost time to tune in, so ahead is everything you need to know about Bachelor in Paradise season 9.

When is Bachelor in Paradise season 9 premiering?

ABC announced that Bachelor in Paradise will air on September 28 at 9 p.m. ET, right after the 8 p.m. premiere of The Golden Bachelor. Say goodbye to Bachelor Mondays, because now a new episode will air every Thursday night until the show's finale.

Who joined the cast of Bachelor in Paradise season 9?

According to the Bachelor Nation site, this season of Bachelor in Paradise will be featuring a whole new cast of singles, and while ABC hasn't given us the full list of Bachelor Nation alums just yet, we're guessing that some men from the most recent season of The Bachelorette will make an appearance.

We do know that Brayden Bowers (aka the *villain* in Charity's love story) from the latest season will be making a comeback alongside Kat Izzo, a contestant from season 27 of The Bachelor featuring Zach Shallcross. This was confirmed in the 'Men Tell All' episode of The Bachelorette.

And this is decided unconfirmed, but according to the Reality Steve podcast, this BiP season will feature Blake Moynes from seasons 16 and 17 of The Bachelorette, Aven Jones from season 19 of The Bachelorette, Tyler Norris from season 19 of The Bachelorette and season 8 of BiP, Eliza from season 26 of The Bachelor, Nate Mitchell from season 19 of The Bachelorette, Jess Girod, Mercedes Northup, Cat Carter, Greer Blitzer, Brooklyn Willie, and Kylee Russell from season season 27 of The Bachelor, Sean McLaughlin, Tanner Courtad, Aaron Bryant, and John Henry Spurlock from season 20 of The Bachelorette, and Rachel Recchia from season 26 of The Bachelor and season 19 of The Bachelorette. Reality Steve gave the disclaimer that although these Bachelor Nation members were in the BiP destination of Mexico during the time of filming, that doesn't mean they will *definitely* be in season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Will Jesse Palmer and Wells Adams be returning to Paradise?

Yes! Jesse Palmer is coming back as the host of Bachelor in Paradise, and Wells Adams is making his return as the official Bachelor Nation bartender.
