The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison has teased Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams have completed filming Season 16.

Chris took to his Instagram Stories on Sunday and posted a photo of his grill and a beer.
"Good to be home!" Chris, 49, wrote over the photo.

If Chris has returned to his house, it's probably safe to assume production of The Bachelorette's sixteenth season has wrapped.

Chris, however, previously took several days off from filming The Bachelorette in order to move his son Joshua into college at Texas Christian University earlier this month.
Former The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher reportedly filled in for Chris while he was away on family business.
Clare began filming Season 16 of The Bachelorette at La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs, CA, in mid-July but reportedly quit production 12 days in because she had "already fallen in love" with one of her bachelors, Dale Moss, a 31-year-old model and former college basketball and football player.
A source previously told Life & Style that Clare even "refused to come out of her room" at one point to film.
Tayshia was therefore brought to The Bachelorette set as Clare's replacement, and photos were recently taken of her filming at the resort in a turquoise bikini.

According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, Tayshia was filming her round of overnight Fantasy Suite dates around August 21 and so the season was winding down as far as production goes.
The Bachelorette will premiere its new season, starring both ladies, on Tuesday, October 13 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Last week, Chris teased on Instagram, "It's safe to say this season will be twice as good as any other!"
Several promos have been released of Clare as the leading lady in recent days, including one of the 39-year-old hairstylist rocking a white dress with a thigh-high slit and red shoes with roses on them. The Bachelorette teased Clare wants a man who will "respect" her.

Another promo pokes fun at Clare's age given she's the oldest The Bachelorette star the franchise has ever seen by doing a takeoff of the movie poster for The Graduate, the iconic 1967 film about a recent college graduate, played by Dustin Hoffman, who is seduced by an older woman played by Anne Bancroft.
Although The Bachelorette typically airs on Monday nights every year, Dancing with the Stars will air on Monday nights instead, with The Bachelorette airing on Tuesday nights this fall.
News of Tayshia's participation first shocked the world on July 31 when a spoiler about her replacing Clare was posted on Reddit and then Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone tweeted there was "some serious validity" to the posting.
Entertainment Tonight subsequently confirmed on August 3 that Tayshia is the new star of The Bachelorette but Clare's short journey to find love will also be featured on the show when it airs this year.
What remains to be seen is whether more men were brought to the resort to date Tayshia, giving her a full roster of The Bachelorette suitors, or if she only had Clare's remaining men to choose from.

Us Weekly previously reported the production team began tracking down some of the 42 potential suitors -- who were announced in July as a revised list of candidates from the original 32 men unveiled back in March -- to come back and film for Tayshia given they had already quarantined.
Clare and/or Tayshia's official and final set of bachelors who will star on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season will be confirmed at a later date.
Although Tayshia has taken over for Clare on Season 16, Clare was photographed several times appearing to film with Chris at La Quinta Resort and Club earlier this month.
Reports have swirled Clare is still being "kept" at The Bachelorette resort while Tayshia films and Dale, whom Clare is reportedly engaged to, is elsewhere. Dale was spotted hanging out in his hometown of Brandon, SD, in early August.
The Bachelorette's new season was supposed to begin production in March and premiere on May 18, but global health restrictions in light of the coronavirus pandemic had shut down nearly all Hollywood productions.
