WATCH: 1-on-1 with the new 'Bachelor,' Peter Weber

Peter Weber made a big impression on "Bachelorette" fans during his time on the reality TV show earlier this year, and now he's getting a second chance to find love on TV.

The Delta pilot will star in season 24 of "The Bachelor."

The news was announced during the season finale of "Bachelor in Paradise" Tuesday night.

Weber, 28, was the second-to-last person eliminated by Hannah Brown in season 15 of "The Bachelorette." Brown agonized over the decision, and later sent shockwaves through Bachelor Nation when she confessed that in addition to having an emotional connection, she and Weber shared an intimate night in a windmill during production.

"Thank you Hannah for the opportunity to pursue your heart. You will always have a little bit of mine after the time we were able to spend together," he wrote on Instagram after their break-up aired. "Everyone on this planet deserves that ‘indescribable, words won’t do it justice, make your heart skip a beat’ type of love. Never stop until you find it."

"The Bachelor" will premiere next year.

Gratitude. The feeling that has consumed me all season and especially now at the end of this journey. Thank you Hannah for the opportunity to pursue your heart. You will always have a little bit of mine after the time we were able to spend together. Thank you to my brothers from the house. I know we all learned a lot about ourselves during this experience and I’m so happy I was able to make these memories with you guys. Thank you to @bacheloretteabc for giving this hopeless romantic a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget. Thank you to my amazing family for always having my back, I think everyone understands where my emotions come from now. Thank you to my friends for giving me more windmill jokes than I know what to do with. And thank you Bachelor Nation. I have felt your love and support since night one and I couldn’t be more thankful. Everyone on this planet deserves that ‘indescribable, words won’t do it justice, make your heart skip a beat’ type of love. Never stop until you find it ❤️
