Here is ABC's Press Release:

ABC Announces the Cast of ‘Bachelor In Paradise,’ Featuring Favorite Faces From Past Seasons of ‘The Bachelor’ Franchise

ABC ANNOUNCES THE CAST OF ‘BACHELOR IN PARADISE,’
FEATURING FAVORITE FACES FROM PAST SEASONS OF ‘THE BACHELOR’ FRANCHISE

The long awaited third season of last summer’s genre-defying breakout hit series “Bachelor in Paradise” returns on TUESDAY, AUGUST 2 (8:00–10:00 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network. Starting the following week, the show will air on Mondays and Tuesdays. The cast comprised of former fan favorites and controversial characters from “The Bachelor” franchise are back looking for a second chance at love. They all left “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette” with broken hearts, but now they’ll travel to a romantic paradise, hoping to turn a potential summer fling into the real thing.
Below is the “Bachelor in Paradise” cast list:

Jared Haibon, 27, Restaurant Manager, Warwick, RI – “The Bachelorette,” season 11 (Kaitlyn)

Emily and Haley Ferguson, 23, Twins, Las Vegas, NV – “The Bachelor,” season 20 (Ben)

Leah Block, 25, Event Planner, Denver, CO – “The Bachelor,” season 20 (Ben)

Lace Morris, 25, Real Estate Agent, Denver, CO – “The Bachelor,” season 20 (Ben)

Amanda Stanton, 26, Esthetician, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – “The Bachelor,” season 20 (Ben)

Jubilee Sharpe, 25, War Veteran, Ft. Lauderdale, FL – “The Bachelor,” season 20 (Ben)

Sarah Herron, 29, Advertising Executive, Los Angeles, CA – “The Bachelor,” season 17 (Sean)

Carly Waddell, 29, Singer/Songwriter, Arlington, TX – “The Bachelor,” season 19 (Chris)

Isabel “Izzy” Goodkind, 25, Graphic Designer, Branford, CT – “The Bachelor,” season 20 (Ben)

Additional bachelors and bachelorettes from seasons past will be announced at a later date.

Over the course of six weeks, we’ll follow these former bachelors and bachelorettes as they explore new relationships while living together in Mexico, in a secluded and dreamy paradise. America will watch as they fall in love or go through renewed heartbreak. “Bachelor in Paradise” will feature shocking twists, surprises, unexpected guests and some of the most unlikely relationships in “Bachelor” history. There’s no telling who will find love this season, just like Jade and Tanner last year with their engagement and subsequent wedding.

Hosted by Chris Harrison, “Bachelor in Paradise” is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss, Martin Hilton, Nicole Woods, Peter J. Scalettar and Elan Gale are executive producers. “Bachelor in Paradise” is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC’s selected HDTV format. (CLOSED CAPTIONED)

This is a heavy Ben alumni season. I could deal without the twins, Sarah and Carly.

These people all seem to morph together in my mind... Giggle

I will watch as long as Jared and Wells are on. The contrived "romances" are just too unbelievable. How many true relationships happen in three weeks time, which is, I believe, the length of the BIP shooting schedule?

Only one that I know of and that was Jade and Tanner that did get married last season.

I'll watch it due to summer being a relatively slow time for tv watching but something tells me it's going to be a whacked out season.

So since they have Chad on they of course have to have Evan on. That is a set up for more of the same type of drama that we have already seen. Been there, done that. Evan is not the typical kind of guy that women go for so why have him on? Well, I guess I already answered that question.

Nick Viall? Why? Can't they just retire this dude? I don't think Jared, Carly or
Sarah need to be back on either. Way too many repeats.

The twins never impressed me either. Some of these people I don't even remember. Did they scrape the bottom of the barrel for contestants this season?

On the bold (now black) I couldn't agree with you more especially Nick and Sarah. I wonder who else is going to sneak in there that we have already seen 3 or 4 times on one or more of the franchise shows.

I need a refresher course on who most of these people are...except Carly... I liked Carly... A Lot!

I guess we know now that they are sneaking in Ashley I. which I was really hoping wouldn't show up again. I guess they had to throw her in there since Jared is going to be there. Same as they have to have Evan on there due to Chad being there. No surprise they show Evan in an ambulance on the previews making it look as if Chad did something to him. We will probably learn that Chad had nothing to do with it and it is just their editing. What these people won't do for drama.

I'd prefer to see Claire over Ashley I. and that is saying a lot.

Don't forget that Nick and Josh were rivals for Andi. Between them and the Chad/Evan drama, they might consider a boxing ring on the beach.

Fortunately, Roku has given me a wealth of shows to watch over the summer.

I suppose I will watch because I always have, but I may consider watching paint dry as an acceptable substitute. LOL!
