PSA: Netflix’s New Dating Show ‘Too Hot To Handle’ Lands On Friday

This is going to be our lockdown OBSESSION.

We're all after some light relief right now - and what better than a brand new dating show from Netflix?

Ever since the streaming platform knocked it out the park with Love Is Blind we've been waiting patiently for their next offering, and it looks like they're not going to disappoint.

Landing on screens Friday (17th April), Too Hot To Handle is being dubbed the new Love Island, packed full of attractive singletons, lots of flirting and and sun-kissed scenery.

But it's also got one very significant difference. Yep, in Netflix's (very eloquent) words, the villa is a "no bone zone": we're talking no kissing, no cuddling and basically no getting up close and personal at all.

The idea is that 10 commitment-phobes are supposed to find a real bond without anything getting in the way. But of course, that's *not* going to happen.

They've been recruited from all over there world, and there's a $100,000 prize (£80,700) for the couple who end up victorious.

And the contestants have to be careful, as with every steamy slip up, the prize money goes down for everyone. Eeeek.

As it released a first look at the cast, Netflix teased: "Will the serial singletons be able to form deeper emotional connections? Or will the temptation simply be too hot to handle?"

Not all the cast will stick to the no intimacy rule... (

The series is set to star a Canadian travel influencer Francesca Fargo, who has previously dated famous DJ Diplo, and an Essex beauty Chloe Veitch, who has her eye on three of her fellow contestants.

Other singles include Matthew Smith, a former America's Next Top Model finalist, and David Bitwistle, an ex-semi-pro rugby player from London who has a first class degree in engineering.

The line-up includes ten hot singletons including Canadian bombshell Chloe (

They will be flirting up a storm alongside Irish party girl, Nicole O'Brien, and Rhonda Paul, from Georgia, US. Plus, London boy Kelechi 'Kelz' Dyke is joining the pack, alongside Australian heart-throb Harry Jowsey, Haley Cureton, from Florida and New Jersey, hunk Sharron Townsend.

The best part is you can binge-watch the whole thing when it lands on Netflix, as the platform is dropping all eight episodes of the series in one go.

This is going *straight* to the top of our isolation watch-list.
