Presenting: the Entire Cast of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 9 for Ya

Oh, that? Nothing much, just the sound of the waves thrashing on the shores of the forever-iconic Bachelor in Paradise beach right in time for season 9 of the popular spin-off series. Yep, the incredibly messy highly-anticipated show is set to premiere on Thursday, September 28 at 9 p.m. EST with host Jesse Palmer, bartender-slash-Sarah Hyland's husband Wells Adams, and a slew of Bach Nation faves (and villains 👀) from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette seasons past.

Plus, with ABC promising appearances from Katie Thurston, Charity Lawson, *and* Hannah Brown, you're definitely not gonna wanna miss this season's shenanigans. But until this upcoming season officially debuts, we're here to tide you over with all the contestants headed to the beach this year in the name of true love (or at the very least, a half-decent but fully-televised hookup ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Let's get into it, shall we?
