'The thinking right now is to quarantine the cast and crew in one specific location with no travel. And to use testing and some social distancing'

While ABC remains optimistic that Clare Crawley’s Bachelorette season will be filmed and edited in time for a fall premiere, ABC entertainment president Karey Burke has confirmed that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, arrangements are still being made to ensure the safety of Crawley and her group of contestants.
“The thinking right now is to quarantine the cast and crew in one specific location with no travel,” Burke told THR. “And to use testing and some social distancing. They have a thoughtful plan they presented to the studio and the government that’s in the process of being vetted and approved. I’m hopeful, not certain — anyone who says they’re certain right now is not speaking the truth — barring a second spike or a second shutdown that we will be able to get these shows up and running.
Crawley’s Bachelorette season was originally intended to premiere on May 18 before getting indefinitely postponed. Her much-discussed casting as the franchise’s oldest Bachelorette lead has since been overshadowed by Matt James, who’s been cast as the franchise’s first Black Bachelor.
