Clayton Echard is ready to hand out some roses.
On Tuesday, Nov. 30, ABC confirmed that Clayton will be the next lead for The Bachelor's upcoming 26th season, which kicks off the franchise's 20th year. To help build hype for Clayton's season, the network also released a drama-filled trailer, which gives us a first look at the new Bachelor's journey for love.
"I'm just a Midwest guy from Missouri that just wants to find love," says Clayton in the trailer. "And I believe more than anything that my future wife is here."
While we appreciate Clayton's confidence, we should mention that the teaser promises a whooole lot of tears.
"You're fake, you're two faced, I'm done," says one of the girls in the trailer. "Keep my name out of your mother-f-cking mouth."
We're guessing someone isn't there for the right reasons!
Viewers first became acquainted with Clayton on Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette. And thanks to his devilish good looks and his surprisingly amazing dance moves, he quickly became a fan favorite—winning the hearts of both America and Michelle's fifth grade class. Unfortunately, Clayton and Michelle weren't meant to be, as the Missouri resident was sent home in the sixth episode.
Back in September, E! News exclusively shared photos that seemingly proved that Clayton would be the one handing out roses for the new season. ABC stayed tight-lipped on the Bachelor casting, that is until now.
For a peek at what's to come for Clayton's season of The Bachelor, watch the new teaser above.
Season 26 of The Bachelor premieres on Jan. 3 on ABC.
