"The Bachelorette" to begin filming in Utah this fall

• The projects are estimated to generate nearly $16 million in economic impact and create more than 300 jobs across the state, per the commission.

State of play: The series traditionally spotlights the hometowns of its romantic leads.

• Paul was raised in Utah and lived in Draper while starring in "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives."
• Paul told "Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper last month that she expects her future partner to move to Utah, where her family resides.

What they're saying: Utah's natural landscapes and "blend of small-town charm" make it the ideal setting for the show, Lex Pascual, vice president of production incentives for Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement.

What's next: The season is slated to be released next year.
