Michelle Young is taking the lead as the next star of The Bachelorette, but fans can already gear up for another season of The Bachelor after her season. We’re finally getting more information on who the next bachelor will be, too. And, thanks to Reality Steve, it seems we already get a first look at The Bachelor cast. Here’s what the reality spoiler guru posted.

The new star of The Bachelor allegedly comes from Michelle Young’s season, and we’re sure The Bachelor cast will be overjoyed to see him as the lead. Clayton Echard will reportedly take the lead next, and we’ll get our first look at him when Michelle’s season officially airs on Oct. 19, 2021.

So, who is Clayton Echard? He’s a Eureka, Missouri, native who’s 28 years old, 6 feet 5 inches tall, and was previously a football player for his college, University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou).

The rumors will continue to run rampant around the new lead, The Bachelor cast, and all the new details following Michelle’s season. But it may be awhile before fans get concrete details from ABC. Executives from the network reportedly met with a number of other men from Katie Thurston’s season, Variety reports, but they allegedly settled on Clayton. We just may have to wait before an official announcement comes.

Reality Steve has additional intel regarding when The Bachelor will air. “Here we goooooo,” he tweeted on June 7, 2021. “Get ready for nine straight months of Bachelor programming. Katie’s season, straight into BIP Aug. 16, right into Michelle’s season around the first or second week of October, then seemingly The Bachelor on the first Monday of Jan. 2022 like it’s always been. Buckle up.”

It seems January 2022 is when we can expect to see Clayton in action. Until then, we look forward to everything that’s to come with Michelle’s season and any additional information on The Bachelor cast that’s to come.

ABC did not return a request for comment regarding The Bachelor cast by the time of publication.
