News the change of Matt from contestant to star will likely work in Clare’s favor. “The good news for Clare is that her cast will know from the start they don’t have a chance to be the next Bachelor.

“It will be tough, but we will definitely figure it out because we all need this—badly,” Mills said about the return of The Bachelorette.
Matt James’ season handing out roses on The Bachelor is slated to premiere in 2021.
