Bachelor in Paradise returns for its fourth season on August 14 and 32 contestants will be looking for love or stirring up drama.

The first Bachelor in Paradise cast photo was released by ABC earlier this week. Only 20 of the 32 contestants cast for ABC’s summer reality series appear in the pic, including two of this season’s most controversial cast members — DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios.

The 12 contestants who are missing from the Bachelor in Paradise cast photo (below) will arrive throughout the season, replacing girls and guys who are sent home without a rose. ABC has yet to reveal who the mystery 12 are, but have the scoop on the entire cast list. And that includes one guy who won’t go on any dates this season.

Filming for Bachelor in Paradise Season 4 was halted for two weeks during the much-publicized DeMario Jackson-Corinne Olympios situation.

The premiere was originally scheduled to air August 8, one day after Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay’s season finale, but the investigation into sexual misconduct threw the filming schedule off so ABC pushed the premiere out to August 14.

Get ready for hookups and drama

Fortunately for fans, the show wasn’t canceled. Paradise drama is something fans are looking forward to, especially after a rather predictable season of the Bachelorette.

Despite the rules that limit drinks and require on-camera consent to hook up, there will be plenty of backstabbing, crying, and, yes, some romance.

The photo above includes the 20 contestants who will appear on the premiere.

Wondering why Robby Hayes (JoJo’s season) isn’t included in the cast photo?

Robby is one of 12 contestants who will show up throughout the season. Robby will show up either near the end of the first episode or on episode 2. It won’t take long for JoJo’s runner-up to start a relationship with a Paradise season 3 alum.

According to Reality Steve, DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios did not return to film Paradise after the two-week hiatus. However, both contestants will appear on the reunion show scheduled to air after the BiP finale.

In addition to the 30 contestants who were cast for the show, Wells Adams (JoJo’s season) will return to the summer reality series. Sadly, Wells will not be going on dates this season. However, he will be tending bar and will give advice to the girls and guys who are in Paradise for a second — or third — shot at finding love.

Let’s take a look at the complete cast list. But first, here’s the latest Bachelor in Paradise preview video.
