Production
Casting and contestants
On August 30, 2016, during season 2 episode 4 of Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise and while the 3rd season of Bachelor in Paradise was still airing, Nick Viall was announced as the next Bachelor.[2] Prior to Viall's selection in the series, fan favorites Luke Pell and Chase McNary, both from The Bachelorette season 12 were considered for the lead role on the show, according to host Chris Harrison. Pell and McNary would go on to compete in The Bachelor Winter Games and season six of Bachelor in Paradise, respectively.[3]
Filming and development
Filming of this season began on September 24, 2016, as it was traveled to many places including Viall's home state of Wisconsin; New Orleans, Louisiana; Saint Thomas in United States Virgin Islands; Bimini, the Bahamas and Finnish Lapland. Numerous media outlets reported Backstreet Boys have performed at Honda Stage at the iHeartRadio Theater in Downtown Los Angeles on September 30, 2016. Besides Backstreet Boys, this season also had appearances include Olympians Michelle Carter, Allyson Felix and Carl Lewis, country singer Chris Lane and Lolo.[4][5]
Originally, production was set to travel to Charleston, South Carolina instead of Wisconsin, but producers changed the destination when Hurricane Matthew hit South Carolina. Host Chris Harrison stated that the trip was to be headed to Kiawah Island. South Carolina would later be visited in the thirteenth season of The Bachelorette.[6][7]
