The 16th season of The Bachelorette will most likely premiere sometime in 2020. The season will feature 38-year-old Clare Crawley, a hairstylist.

She previously rejected Juan Pablo Galavis on the 18th season of The Bachelor.

Filming and development

On March 13, 2020, ABC announced that filming had been postponed due to the recent Coronavivrus (COVID-19) outbreak. Filming was originally scheduled to have begun that very day.

On June 17, 2020, ABC announced that this season would air in a new time slot, Tuesdays at 8 instead of Mondays.^[1]

Filming is expected to start at the end of July, becoming the first non-scripted American television program to begin production since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Contestants and crew will have to quarantine for two weeks before filming begins and test negative for COVID-19 regularly, while also having their temperature checked. Instead of starting at the Bachelor Mansion outside of LA and eventually traveling all over the world, the entire season will be shot at one resort in Southern California. It the first time since season eight, that the show will not be filming at the Bachelor mansion, but at a resort on a quarantine themed format.

Filming began on July 19, 2020, with the first Rose Ceremony taking place that night.^[2]

Casting and contestants

Clare Crawley was announced as the Bachelorette on March 2, 2019, on Good Morning America.

Before Clare was chosen as the Bachelorette, six other women were reportedly considered for the role. They were: Hannah Brown, who reportedly turned the offer down because the show wasn't paying her enough, Tia Booth, who reportedly even signed a contract and was the second choice behind Clare, Kelsey Weier, who also reportedly signed a contract and now is most likely to head to Paradise, Tayshia Adams, who also reportedly signed a contract, Kendall Long, who met with producers but never signed a contract, and finally Katie Morton, who met with producers but was only briefly considered.

On March 11, 2020, 32 possible contestants were announced. Chris Harrison later commented that the show would see recasts due to the delay in filming as well as the critique given by viewers of the shows, regarding the men's ages.

An updated cast list containing 42 potential contestants was released on July 15, 2020.

Matt James was originally announced as a contestant for this season but has instead been chosen as the bachelor for the 25th season of The Bachelor. He is the show's first male black lead.

In late July, rumors began circulating that Clare was going to be replaced as she was being difficult during filming, even refusing to film because she had already fallen in love. They reportedly called in Tayshia Adams to take her place if necessary.

Contestants

The season began with XX contestants.
