It's been far too long since The Bachelor graced our screens. As the show gears up for season 20, it's already proving to be a perfect Ben 10. Last season, Kaitlyn Bristowe found love with Shawn Booth on The Bachelorette, but this time it's Ben Higgins's turn. While the first trailer proved Higgins will be the cutest Bachelor yet, there is still a lot more going on this season, including two returning contestants. Keep reading for all the details on this season, and then fall in love all over again with Higgins's adorable Instagram.

Meet the New Bachelor
After coming in third place on The Bachelorette last season, this 27-year-old software accounts manager from Denver told People he is looking for "somebody with a genuine heart, who believes in truth and authenticity and hopefully shares the same Christian faith that I do."

He's in It For the Long Haul
Higgins also told People that he is really hoping to find The One this season. "Ideally, I would love to walk away from this with a fiancée. I'm excited about that next step of seeing her walk down the aisle towards me." Awww!

The Contestants Have Some "Interesting" Job Titles
As is custom for the Bachelor franchise, there are always a few contestants with some pretty weird professions. While some girls are blatantly honest with titles like "unemployed," others like "chicken enthusiast" and "cowgirl" leave us scratching our heads.

There Will Be Double Trouble
The 20th season will be twice as much fun as twin sisters Emily and Haley compete for Higgins's heart. Needless to say, things are about to get very interesting, very fast.

Girls From Past Seasons Are Returning
Among the slew of new girls, there are two familiar faces. Amber James and Becca Tilley from Chris Soules's season are returning for a second chance at finding Mr. Right. Tilley was, of course, last season's runner-up, and you might remember James from the spinoff Bachelor in Paradise.

Lauren Is a Very Popular Name
It seems Higgins might already have a type, because there are exactly four girls with the same name. There's also a Laura in the mix for good measure.
