Fans have been unsure of whether or not they want to get to know a new cast of hard-partying Southerners when CMT premieres Party Down South 2, but the new guys may be worth a second look.

The new cast seems to have a lot in common with their predecessors from the original show-and fans could wind up falling as much in love with them as they did Murray, Lyle, Daddy, Walt, Lauren, Mattie, Lil Bit and Tiffany.

With that in mind, Enstars compiled a few quick facts about each member of the new cast that fans should know before getting acquainted better with them on the show. So here are our five facts to know about Bradley Mitchell (who, if early preview clips are any indication, truly reminds us of Lyle).

1. He seems to be someone who is fiercely protective of those he loves

In a special "meet the cast" clip that CMT released, he admitted that he might really like to party, but he doesn't hesitate to protect the people he loves, the same way a true Southern boy would. "Where I'm from, you're not really scared of anything. You get raised to protect yourself, protect your family, protect your lady," he says. "You love to love, you love to fight. I'm a d-m good guy, I like to have fun, and if you want a party down south, then that's what I can give you."

2. He's a DJ

Mitchell's Instagram page features lots of photos which show him getting behind the turntables and staying in charge of keeping a party going with some great music. He could possibly show off his skills while on the show.

3. He loves to hunt Like most Southern boys he likes to hunt and enjoys showing off his catches online. He may be pretty good at it after all-not only has he caught deer, but he's also successfully trapped a coyote while actually seeking out a turkey.

4. He's a new dad

Mitchell became a father this year to a little girl named Mia, who he seems to love more than life. He has featured her in several photos since she was born, and calls her his Princess.

5. He isn't letting those who are hating on him and his fellow cast members bother him Some people would probably hate that fans of the show they're going to be on have already invested time and energy into hating them without actually seeing them first. He posted a photo of the cast on his Instagram after the hate on them started with the phrase "Party with us or party without us, either way it goes we are still gonna party," written on it.
