'The Bachelorette' cast: Meet the 31 men competing for Clare Crawley's heart
The ABC reality series returns Oct. 13.
"The Bachelorette" is slated to return next month, and ABC has revealed the identifies of the men competing for star Clare Crawley's heart.
In the first episode, Crawley will meet 31 men, from a former professional football player to a wildlife manager, all ranging in age from 26 to 40.
By the end of the premiere, which is set to air at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesday, Oct. 13, only 23 will remain.
Crawley, 39, was announced as the new Bachelorette this past March, but production on her season stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June, ABC executive Rob Mills -- the network's VP of alternative programming -- said in an interview with Ryan Seacrest that filming would take place in a "bubble" in which everyone would be tested for coronavirus and shooting would mostly be at one location. He added that it was "absolutely safe" for Crawley and her suitors to kiss, because of their controlled environment.
Host Chris Harrison spoke to "Entertainment Tonight" Tuesday, and teased that this season as "a roller-coaster ride unlike any other."
"Bachelor Nation and the world are not ready for what happened inside the [bubble]," he added. "It is unlike anything we have ever seen on this show before. I know I say that sometimes, but I truly think we have outdone ourselves this time."
