If you weren’t already excited about Rachel Lindsay’s new role as “The Bachelorette,” now’s the time to get there. ABC has released the first official poster for the show and it’s unbelievable.

The poster shows the new “Bachelorette” sporting a flowy red gown with a tie back. Rose petals rise up from the bottom of her gown, which looks like a flower. Rachel flashes a coy smile at the camera over her shoulder.

While this is the first official look at the show, it’s not the only glimpse fans have gotten into “The Bachelorette.” Creator/producer Mike Fleiss has been kind enough to snap some behind the scenes photos. Some show Rachel on her way to Season 13 rose ceremonies, while others focus on her many suitors.

Other details continue to emerge about the season as well. On March 23, viewers learned that the first “Bachelorette” date involved a game of basketball and NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. According to Us Weekly, Rachel and her dates were playing a game of pickup basketball at a Southern California high school and had a great time despite some shyness.

Rachel may have been shy at first, but there are so many people rooting for her as she takes on “The Bachelorette.” Season 12 star JoJo Fletcher shared a positive message for her predecessor when she told Extra that Rachel should have no trouble finding love on the show, as she’s got so much going for her and is incredibly smart.

“She’s a lawyer — she thinks a lot, she’s always in her head. I was gonna tell her try not to be in her head that much but also listen to that mind of yours because you’re smart, and don’t let your heart get carried away with the looks and the lust, ‘cause it happens,” she said.

Rachel’s season of “The Bachelorette” kicks off Monday, May 22 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
