The Bachelor Season 26: Where To Follow The Cast Members On Instagram

Bachelor Nation fans are looking forward to meeting the women who'll compete for Clayton Echard's heart over the course of The Bachelor season 26 on ABC. Reality TV viewers got to meet Clayton on Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette, which just came to an end in December 2021. After making it all the way to the final eight on the show, Clayton was chosen to lead the next season of The Bachelor - a decision that was received with mixed reviews by the fandom.

There is a lot of context surrounding Clayton's stint as The Bachelor. Not only does he have to try to prove his naysayers wrong, but Clayton also has to follow up season 25, which was shrouded by drama and controversy. Hopefully, Clayton will have a smoother run on The Bachelor than Matt James had, as most fans are becoming increasingly more impatient with production shenanigans, stunt casting, and behind-the-scenes controversies. While we wait to see how things will play out on The Bachelor season 26, it's time to follow Clayton's contestants on Instagram.
