## Filming and development

### Casting and contestants

Peter Weber was announced as the next Bachelor on September 17, 2019, during the season finale of the 6th season of *Bachelor in Paradise*. He was chosen over Tyler Cameron and Mike Johnson.

33 possible contestants were revealed on September 17, 2019. Prior to the start of filming, the initial list of contestants were announced on the show's social media pages, and it was revealed that beauty queens Alayah Benavidez, Hannah Sluss, Kelsey Weier, Victoria Paul and Maurissa Gunn were contestants. Of those five, four competed in Miss USA division pageants: Weier competed in Miss USA 2017 as Miss Iowa USA, while Gunn competed in Miss Teen USA 2013 as Miss Montana Teen USA, and Benavidez and Paul competed together in Miss USA 2019 and were Miss Texas USA and Miss Louisiana USA, respectively, the latter who finished in the top 15. Benavidez was crowned Miss United States 2016. The cast also include Madison Prewett, the daughter of Auburn Tigers men's basketball director of operations Chad Prewett.

However, on December 16, 2019, only 30 contestants were announced via Facebook Live.

### Production

On September 25, 2019, production crews were reported that the season is about to film in Cleveland, Ohio; and Costa Rica. Weber suffered a minor facial injury while filming in Costa Rica, when he tripped while holding glasses. In addition to those locations, this season will also include visits in Chile, Peru and Gold Coast, Queensland.
