It's officially — cue the theme song — almost Paradise, as in it's almost time for Bachelor in Paradise [1] season five. With Becca's season of The Bachelorette [2] underway, Bachelor Nation is gearing up for the popular spinoff series, which is currently filming in Mexico. Although fans have a bit of time before the season airs, we've already heard some exciting news about what's to come, including buzz about Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon's engagement [3]. (Does that mean we'll see a TV wedding?!)

Here's everything you need to know before tuning in to Bachelor in Paradise later this Summer, and in the meantime, see which couples from Bachelor Nation are still together [4].

The Cast

ABC hasn't announced any cast members yet, but we can expect to see some of the men who have been eliminated on Becca's season of The Bachelorette [5] along with fan favourites from Arie's season of The Bachelor [6]. Meanwhile, news of Ashley I. and Jared's engagement tells us we'll get to see a cameo from the couple, and Wells Adams talked about returning as the bartender (!) on his podcast with Brandi Cyrus, Your Favourite Thing Podcast.

The Premiere Date

Season five of Bachelor in Paradise is set to premiere on Tuesday, Aug. 7.
