Bottle(s) of rosé? Check. Fence-jumping references? Yep. An affinity for the phrase "roll tide"? If not, you'd better get it quick.

The new season of The Bachelorette is underway on ABC, and this time around on the romance reality show, former pageant queen Hannah Brown is looking to find "fierce love." To do so, she'll date about 30 men, picking from a cast that includes a Justin Bieber fan, a "box king" and a sperm donor who claims to have fathered more than 100 children. Sounds deliciously dramatic.

You won't want to miss a second of the antics, so here's everything you need to know about how to watch Season 15 of The Bachelorette.

Who Is the 'Bachelorette'?

The 2019 Bachelorette is Alabama's Hannah Brown, who went by "Hannah B." (and occasionally "Hannah Beast") on Colton Underwood's season. Underwood cut Brown from the competition in week seven, after introducing her to his family but before getting a chance to visit her hometown.

As she left the scene of the breakup, 24-year-old Brown gave a memorable interview that caused viewers to speculate whether producers would pick her to star in the 15th season of The Bachelorette. They confirmed her casting in March.

What Time Is The Bachelorette on?

The Bachelorette starts at 8 p.m. EDT on Mondays.

This season will likely have about 11 episodes. If you're trying to plan ahead, Pop Sugar predicts the finale will happen on or around July 22.
