Bachelor in Paradise is returning to ABC this summer! Here are all the details you’ll need to catch your favorite contestants on the beaches of Mexico.

Just a little while longer until it becomes the best time of the year: it’s almost Bachelor in Paradise season, y’all! ABC is making our April just a little bit brighter by (finally) forking over the release date for this summer’s hottest reality series.

Mark your calendar because season 6 will be comin’ at ya on Monday, July 29. You can start watching at 8 p.m. Eastern time. The highly anticipated premiere will last for two hours.

So what can we expect from this new season? At this time, it’s all sort of still up in the air. No cast has been announced yet, although there’s been plenty of speculation from fans and former contestants alike. Recent fan favorites like Hannah Godwin and Demi Burnett have both commented on the chances of us seeing them hit the beach.

ABC has teased that there may be contestants who will be coming to Bachelor in Paradise for a third chance at love rather than a second. Ok, Bachelor Nation, do you have any gut feelings about which recycled faces we might be seeing for a THIRD time?? This teaser is giving us flashbacks to all the times we saw Nick Viall hit up The Bachelor in the hopes of finding love. . .

While we all speculate away, the internet is going crazy in response to this exciting date announcement. While we still have The Bachelorette and a Bachelorette reunion special to watch before Paradise, it’s safe to say that this might be the biggest event of our year. Twitter is full of celebratory tweets, including a thrilling message from Chris Harrison himself that Jorge will be returning for another summer in Mexico.

There’s just something addictive about Bachelor in Paradise. Seeing old enemies and friends go head to head week after week is somehow an even more perfect recipe for drama than the OG Bachelor series. We can’t wait to learn more about season 6 and will definitely keep you updated if any cast members are announced. Who would you like to see coming to the beach?
