Clayton Echard, featured on The Bachelor season 26, has been revealed to have an eccentric cast of female contestants on his season, one even featured holding her exes' ashes. Taking place in California and still including the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Clayton has plenty of obstacles to face as he transitions from a contestant on The Bachelorette to the lead on The Bachelor amid the sunny southern California climate. While Bachelor Nation has seen many breakups recently, hopefully Clayton has the opportunity to find lasting love during his time on the dating series.

Without much hype from fans, Clayton follows in the footsteps of former Bachelor, Matt James, and attempts to have a more successful search for connection. While he may not have found love with Michelle, ABC is certain to have a number of contestants ready to both shock and win Clayton's heart. With plenty of charm and charisma in the promotional material for the series, Clayton appears to be endearing enough to keep The Bachelor interesting.

First released by ET, a promotional video for the upcoming season of The Bachelor features scantily clad doctors, bathtubs, and even a contestant holding "her exes' ashes." While Clayton may not be Bachelor material, his female contestants have certainly stepped up to entertain and win the new bachelor's attention. Just over 1 minute in length, the video provided a fun, shocking look at The Bachelor season 26, focusing on some of the most outlandish entrances of the season. Including a number of sexy and strange moments, Clayton appears both excited and concerned for the cluster of women he meets during his time on the series. While the series is known for its colorful entrances on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, season 26 "[ups] the ante a little bit" as one of the contestants notes by the end of the video.

With a good amount of insight into the personalities featured on season 26, this promotional material from ET provided just enough edgy content to help bring attraction to the redundant, overplayed dating series. Clayton, who has taken the journey seriously, may have difficulty finding a bride amongst the provocative, excessive performances from the women of the series beginning day 1. Already revealed to have found love on his season of the series, fans can expect Clayton to find a number of quality connections, despite the theatrics of the initial episodes teased by ET.

Beginning Monday, Clayton will return to the small screen for a completely new experience within the franchise, staying committed to finding the woman of his dreams. Despite a few disastrous attempts at winning his attention, Clayton has a number of solid relationships to explore on season 26. With a great outlook on the new year and his season of The Bachelor, Clayton is certain to bring positivity and levity back to the tense news surrounding the stars off-screen. Admittedly "imperfect" as the next Bachelor, Clayton contributes humility and authenticity both during and after his time on the series, something valued greatly by Bachelors and Bachelorettes throughout the series' long history.
