Signs point to YES as Variety reported, “producers fell in love with [Clayton] Echard and he rose to the top of the network’s shortlist” during his time as a suitor on Michelle Young‘s season of The Bachelorette.
Bachelor Nation won’t get confirmation one way or the other because “the network and studio typically do not comment on any casting rumors relating to the franchise, and both ABC and Warner Bros. TV declined to comment on Echard.”
Receipts:
According to a source from E! News, “photos have been taken on set of what appears to be a promo shoot for the upcoming season in Missouri. In fact, a handsome gentleman is seen being followed by a camera crew near a house.”
