Young was the runner-up on the 25th season of The Bachelor featuring Matt James.

Production

Casting and contestants

Young was announced as the Bachelorette by Emmanuel Acho during the After the Final Rose special of the 25th season of The Bachelor on March 15, 2021.[4]

The cast includes offensive guard Bryan Witzmann; undrafted tight end Clayton Echard; 2011 Minnesota Mr. Basketball award winner Joe Coleman; and LT Murray IV, grandson of actor Clint Eastwood.[5][6][7][8]

Filming and development

On August 2, 2021, it was reported that former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe were set to return as co-hosts for the eighteenth season.[9]

As with the last three American Bachelor Nation editions, which were filmed in a bio-secure bubble due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this season started production on July 30, 2021 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa at the Coachella Valley in Indian Wells, California. Some quarantine restrictions were lifted halfway through the season, the cast and crew were allowed to leave the bubble with limited amount of travel from one location to another including Young's home state of Minnesota.[10][11] The cast and crew were valid proof of requirement of vaccination status. For the first time since the fifteenth season, the season was able to leave the United States, as both overnight dates and last chance dates returned to its standard format and took place in Mexico with COVID safety precautions in place.[12]

Country music singer Caroline Jones, WNBA players Dearica Hamby and Diamond DeShields, actors Glen Powell and Jay Ellis, spoken word poet Rudy Francisco, professional wrestlers Nikki and Brie Bella, and musician Andy Grammer made guest appearances this season.[13][14][15]

On December 21, 2021, the day of the season finale, Adams revealed she had been exposed to COVID-19 and was not able to host the live finale and After the Final Rose special. This left Bristowe to be the sole host. Due to the potential COVID-19 resurgence, audiences must present a negative PCR test and wear masks for the duration of the show.[16]

Contestants

35 potential contestants were revealed on July 26, 2021.[17]

The final cast of 30 men was announced on September 27, 2021.[18]
