The coronavirus pandemic delayed production, and Matt got the call for the 2021 Bachelor slot during the delay.
“When filming [Crawley’s season] couldn’t move forward as planned [because of the coronavirus pandemic], we were given the benefit of time to get to know Matt and all agreed he would make a perfect Bachelor,” said Karey Burke, the president of ABC Entertainment.
Matt and Clare never got a chance to meet – and Clare was later replaced by Tayshia Adams when she fell for one of the contestants, Dale Moss.
