Will he earn a rosy reception from Bachelor Nation?
ABC has reportedly found the star of “The Bachelor” Season 26 in Clayton Echard, a potential suitor of incoming “Bachelorette” Michelle Young.
According to Variety, the unfamiliar face will lead the franchise after competing for Young’s heart on Season 18. The 28-year-old will reportedly make his reality TV debut this fall when “The Bachelorette” returns for its second season this year (Katie Thurston’s cycle ended last month).
E! News released photos of Echard filming with a camera crew in Missouri, his home state, on Wednesday, which could be a telling sign. However, Warner Bros, the studio who produces all of the “Bachelor” franchises, and ABC had no comment on the reported casting.
