Bachelor in Paradise is back for a second season this summer, with the two-night premiere scheduled to start on August 2, 2015 on ABC. Which guys from Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of The Bachelorette will be mingling with other Bachelor Nation stars?
Here’s the latest scoop on this summer’s guilty pleasure, and a tentative cast list (below) that includes not only several men from Kaitlyn’s season, but guys and gals who were rejected by Chris Soules, Andi Dorfman, Juan Pablo, Ali Fedotowsky, and Jake Pavelka. [Spoilers ahead]
Bachelorette Kaitlyn’s season is just getting underway, but according to Reality Steve , at least four of her 25 guys will soon be YOPO -ing in Mexico. It’s likely fans won’t see any of her final three guys on BIP 2, but there’s a good chance Joe Bailey, Tanner Tolbert, Joshua Albers, and Tony Harris will be part of the cast. It looks like drunk Ryan McDill , and male stripper Josh Seiter didn’t make the cut, but that could change.
In addition to cast members from the current season, there’s a possibility that at least eight ladies from Bachelor Chris Soules’ season will appear on BIP 2. Two ladies from Juan Pablo ‘s season, and one — Tenley Molzahn — from Jake Pavelka’s season (and Bachelor Pad 1) are also rumored to be cast for the show.
Excited yet? There’s more. Also rumored to be heading to Mexico this summer are three guys from Andi Dorfman’s season of the Bachelorette , and one guy from Ali’s season.

ABC has not confirmed the cast list, and probably won’t release the names of the people who will appear on the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise until after Bachelorette Kaitlyn hands out her final rose (spoiler alert) on July 27.
For fans who were hoping to see Michelle Money on the show, she tweeted back in March that she won’t be returning as a cast member, but never say never. Don’t be surprised to see the franchise-regular, Chris Bukowski, appear on the sandy beaches of Puerto Vallarta either.
On the first season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2013, there were a mix of 25 girls and guys that came on the show on different episodes. Whether producers of the show will stay with the same format is unknown at this point, but the cast list is shaping up to make the second season must-see reality TV.
