Anyone else desperate for a new dating show to becoming unhealthily obsessed with during isolation?
Life hasn't quite been the same since we finished Love Is Blind and we're simply dying for a new show to binge-watch.
Thankfully, there's just a week until Netflix's brand new dating iteration hits screens: Too Hot To Handle.
At first glance, Too Hot To Handle - landing on Friday 17th April - is much like ITV's Love Island.
According to the streaming platform, it sees 10 young hot singles from all the around the world meet in a tropical paradise for what they assume will be "the most exotic and erotic summer of their lives."
But there's a savage twist in store.
The contestants, described as "commitment-phobes who love a casual hook-up" have to give up all heavy-petting for the duration of the retreat in order to win the $100,000 prize money.
"No kissing, no heavy petting, and no self-gratification of any kind. With every slip, the prize money goes down," explains Netflix.
The best part about it is any slip-up affects the entire group, which is sure to cause some epic rows. What. A. Format.
April 17th can't come quick enough, #TooHottoHandle looks incredible!#Netflixhttps://t.co/KEAX3pkjXI

Now, ahead of the launch, we finally have a first look trailer as well as a look at the at the cast of singles (who you can inspect above) who'll be going in.
The series is set to star a Canadian travel influencer who has previously dated famous DJ Diplo, and an Essex beauty who has her eye on three of her fellow contestants.
Other singles include a former America's Next Top Model finalist and an ex-semi-pro rugby player from London who has a first class degree in engineering.
While Netflix are remaining tight-lipped about the rest of the cast, the burgeoning line-up is enough to get us excited.
"In this luxury no-bone zone, will the serial singletons be able to form deeper emotional connections? Or will the temptation simply be too hot to handle?," read the series summary.
This is going *straight* to the top of our isolation watch-list.
