HGTV has unveiled the premiere date and slate of judges for the upcoming Bachelor mansion renovation series.
Bachelor Mansion Takeover will debut on March 2 at 8 p.m., with new episodes streaming the next day on HBO Max and Discovery+.
Among the guest judges are former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, Bachelor fan Nate Berkus, actress and Bachelor fan Rachel Bilson, former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher, HGTV host and designer Christina Haack and former Bachelor Sean Lowe.
“During the series opener, the competitors will test their knowledge in a renovation math challenge with immunity on the line. Then, they will split into two teams as they’re tasked with updating the Bachelor Mansion’s tired bunk rooms into dreamy retreats. Tensions will rise as both teams quickly devise a plan to revamp their spaces, and the group is rattled when a fate card prompts the first elimination before the design challenge is complete. Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown will arrive to assess the men’s Tuscany and Santorini inspired bedrooms and the women’s Mediterranean style sleeping sanctuary,” read a logline for the debut episode.
Franchise host Jesse Palmer will lead the series, while fellow franchise alumni Tayshia Adams (Bachelor season 23; Bachelor in Paradise season six; and Bachelorette season 16) and Tyler Cameron (Bachelorette season 15) will serve as consistent judges.

The previously announced Bachelor Mansion Takeover cast is jam-packed with familiar franchise faces, including Dean Bell, Jill Chin, Noah Erb, Allyshia Gupta, Tammy Ly, Sandra Mason, Sam McKinney, Brendan Morais, Courtney Robertson Preciado, Jeremy Simon, Christopher Stallworth and Joan Vassos.
“For the first time ever we’re pulling back the curtain and revealing the mansion as you’ve never seen it before,” Palmer said in a statement. “Our 12 contestants have already lived through the twists and turns of The Bachelor franchise. They know this is not going to be easy. And the clock is ticking because this renovation has to be finished before a new season of The Bachelorette begins.”
As Palmer noted, season 22 of The Bachelorette is quickly approaching. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul is slated to star, and her highly anticipated installment will kick off on March 22.
Bachelor Mansion Takeover is distributed by Warner Horizon Unscripted Television, a Warner Bros. Television Group Company.
