In early March, Clare Crawley was announced as the next star of "The Bachelorette."
However, after the pandemic delayed shooting, the season started to look quite different — it will be shot at one resort, many of the men were recast, and Chris Harrison will be temporarily missing.
But the biggest change of all: Crawley has reportedly been replaced by Tayshia Adams.
With so many changes before it even begins, Insider is breaking down everything you need to know about season 16 of "The Bachelorette," which premieres October 13.

Every year without fail, Chris Harrison promises Bachelor Nation that the upcoming season of "The Bachelor" or "Bachelorette," or any of its spin-offs, will undoubtedly be the most dramatic season ever. This season, he may be right.

From a mid-season lead switch-up, a 12-day relationship, and changes due to the coronavirus, this season really does seem like it's going to be the most dramatic yet.
