'The Bachelor': Meet the 5 New Women Vying for Matt James' Heart

The Bachelor Matt James
ABC

The new arrivals will make their debut Monday, Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Matt James' time on The Bachelor is about to get a lot more exciting!

On an all-new episode airing Monday, Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC, five more ladies will arrive at the house in hopes of winning his heart this season. The announcement comes after Sarah Trott abruptly left the show earlier this week amid drama with the other cast members and worry over her father's debilitating ALS.

"A record number of women applied for Matt James ... [it was] the biggest response we've had, and we wanted to give as many women as possible the chance to find love," host Chris Harrison teased to ET last month. "So, we start with 32, but there will be more than those that arrive. And I can also give you this nugget -- one woman who arrives is a very, very familiar face to Bachelor Nation."

Now, ET's breaking down everything you need to know about the new women.
