## Production
### Casting and contestants

Andi Dorfman was named as the Bachelorette during the After the Final Rose special of the season 18 on The Bachelor on March 10, 2014.
Just before the cast announcement, Eric Hill, a 31-year-old intrepid quest traveler from California, was critically injured on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2014 when he slammed into a mountain near Draper, Utah. His parachute collapsed during a paragliding accident after he concluded his filming; Hill died of injuries three days later on April 23, 2014. The show honored Hill by dedicating the upcoming season to him.
On the season premiere, host Chris Harrison dedicated the season to Hill:
   Throughout the years many hundreds of men and women have come on this show in search of love, and they've all become a part of what we consider part of this family. At this time, we'd like to take a moment to honor one of these men — our friend, Eric Hill. Eric passed away shortly after concluding his filming of this show. In the coming weeks, you'll see Eric was a vibrant man. Every day he impressed us with his passion and courageous spirit. He will be greatly missed, and we dedicate this season to him.
Notable cast members include Josh Murray, who is the brother of football quarterback and future NFL player Aaron Murray.

### Filming and development

The season began filming on Wednesday, March 12, 2014. in California.
