ABC Press Release

CLARE CRAWLEY BEGINS HER JOURNEY TO FIND LOVE AS THE STAR OF
ABC’S HIT ROMANCE REALITY SERIES ‘THE BACHELORETTE,’
WHEN THE 16TH SEASON PREMIERES MONDAY, MAY 18

After ranking as the No. 1 series of the summer in Adults 18-49 last year, “The Bachelorette” is set to return for its sizzling 16th season. As announced today on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Clare Crawley will head back to the Bachelor mansion as she embarks on a new journey to find true love, when “The Bachelorette” premieres MONDAY, MAY 18 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.

Clare had women across America cheering from their living rooms when she famously stood up to controversial Bachelor Juan Pablo during the memorable 18th season finale of “The Bachelor.” With her head held high, Clare left the season with a new sense of self-worth and a determination to never settle for anything less than the unconditional love and respect that she deserved. After Juan Pablo, Clare decided to give love another chance on “Bachelor in Paradise,” seasons one and two, but ultimately left both alone. She returned for “Bachelor Winter Games,” and it was there that she met Benoit, the charming romantic with the French accent from “The Bachelorette” Canada. Benoit showed Clare the romance she longed for, and when he got down on one knee to propose, Clare thought she had finally found her happily ever after. Unfortunately, over time they came to the realization that marriage wasn’t in the cards for them, however, the two remain friends to this day.
 
A native of Sacramento, California, Clare, 38, enjoys spending her days playing with her two dogs Elby and Honey, doing yoga and hiking with friends. She loves her career as a hairstylist and hopes to style the man of her dreams one day. She looks up to her late father as an example of the man she hopes to marry, someone strong and compassionate that can live life to the fullest, just like her! 

When Clare walked away from Juan Pablo that fateful day in St. Lucia, she asked tearfully, “Where is the man who will fight for me?” Will she find this man when she returns on the 16th season of “The Bachelorette”?

Hosted by Chris Harrison, “The Bachelorette” is a production of Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Unscripted Television. Mike Fleiss, Martin Hilton, Nicole Woods, Bennett Graebner, Peter Gust, Tim Warner, Louis Caric and Peter Geist are the executive producers.

Show content‘The Bachelorette’ Casting Shakeup Expected for Upcoming Season

As if shooting “The Bachelorette” under quarantine wasn’t enough drama, ABC’s female-fronted reality show has been rocked by more real-life twists that will play out on-screen in the upcoming season.

Over the weekend, rumors began to swirl that “The Bachelorette” lead, Clare Crawley, would be replaced by “Bachelor” alum, Tayshia Adams, when a Reddit user posted that Crawley had fallen in love with a contestant early on and refused to continue filming.

While both ABC and Warner Bros. TV have declined to comment about the on-set bombshell, sources say tabloid and blog reports that have surfaced over the weekend are not all entirely accurate.

However, insiders have clued Variety in on the fact that there is some validity to the rumors that Crawley and Adams could swap in the leading lady position during the season. In other words, Crawley — the woman who was originally cast as “The Bachelorette” for Season 16 — will not be completely replaced, and her dramatic storyline will air during the season.

“It’s shaping up to be a very interesting season creatively with lots of twists and turns,” a production insider tells Variety.

Even if Crawley had fallen in love with a contestant early on throughout filming, a cast member cannot make the decision to depart the show on which they are under contract. However, if the production team believes a cast departure could benefit the storyline, the switch could certainly happen.

Adding more fuel to the fire, late this weekend, Crawley briefly liked a tweet about Adams becoming “The Bachelorette,” before un-liking the post on Twitter. “Bachelor” cast members are not allowed to have their phones during the duration of the shoot, so Crawley’s social media interaction brings about questions of her whereabouts. Moreover, Variety hears that texts were not going through to Adams’ phone this past weekend, which could indicate she is, indeed, on-set.

The off-screen rumor mill has always fueled “The Bachelor” franchise with tabloids and bloggers publishing tons of stories, while each season is in production — some that are true, and many that are not true. In this case, the Crawley and Adams rumors surely keep the upcoming season in the headlines, which could explain why the network and studio are not providing any comment, let alone denying the various reports. ABC typically declines to comment on any production rumors, regarding the franchise.

Variety has learned that no sort of announcement is expected to be made, at this time, and the drama will be saved for the season when it airs this fall.

Should Adams become the second star of Season 16 of “The Bachelorette,” she would bring more diversity to the long-running dating show franchise that has suffered years of criticism for its lack if diversity, but has cast its first-ever Black male lead, Matt James, for the upcoming season of “The Bachelor,” which is planned to air in early 2021.

Adams, who is mixed-race, first appeared as a finalist on Colton Underwood’s season of “The Bachelor,” and then went onto the sixth season of summer spinoff, “Bachelor In Paradise.”

Production on this season of “The Bachelorette” was shut down in mid-March, as the coronavirus pandemic began to spread in the U.S., halting virtually all production in Hollywood. Production is now four weeks in, as the cast and crew are essentially quarantined in a bubble at a Southern California resort, which has been completely rented out just to film the ABC series. Sources indicate that the Crawley drama occurred as production had just about hit the halfway point.
