The understanding at the time was that the upcoming season would be filmed similar to Adams' and James' experiences, mostly in one location with adherence to strict pandemic safety protocols. While no Bachelorette has been announced, it's something that usually happens in conjunction with that"After the Final Rose" special.
Producers have not yet announced who will replace Harrison at that special, nor if any announcement will be forthcoming about a new Bachelorette lead or what Harrison's involvement might be in the start of her journey. They could delay production and then start when they and Harrison feel he's ready to be the face of the franchise again, or they could delay it so he can be replaced more permanently, should that be the final decision. The next few weeks as James wraps his season should be very telling.
