"The Bachelorette" cast.Craig Sjodin/ABC
- Clare Crawley's journey is finally set to begin on October 13 after months of coronavirus-related delays.
- While it's unclear exactly long Crawley will be on the show, ABC has finally released photos of the 31 men who will be appearing on this season.
- One of her original contestants, Matt James, has instead been named the next Bachelor in 2021.
It's been a long time since we've been treated to Chris Harrison prepping us for the most dramatic season of all time, but the drought is finally ending on October 13.
Clare Crawley is the 16th star of "The Bachelorette," returning for her fifth go at finding true love on TV. The 39-year-old is the oldest lead in "Bachelorette" history, so some people assumed that the season would skew older — but don't worry, there's still a few 26-year-olds in the mix.
As some may know, this season has been rife with speculation and spoilers — does the name Tayshia Adams ring any bells? — but all we know for sure is that Crawley will start this season off looking for love.
Keep scrolling to see all 31 men competing for Clare's (and maybe someone else's) heart this October.
