Netflix's Too Hot to Handle Will Be the Next Love Is Blind
If there’s been a hole in your heart since Love Is Blind ended, I have a surprise: Netflix is dropping a new show, Too Hot to Handle, and it has serious shades of the blind-dating reality series that took the internet by storm.
And by that, I mean this new show is also of the reality variety and centers on a bunch of really hot people making really bad decisions. The premise of Too Hot to Handle is simple: A group of sexy singles move into a house together with a chance to win $100,000. But here’s the catch: They can’t have any sexual contact with one another. No hooking up, no kissing, no nothing. Every time they break this rule, the prize money amount drops. Think of it like your debit card balance after a wild night out. Every subtraction you see just represents a dumb decision you could’ve avoided.
Check out the trailer for Too Hot to Handle for yourself, below:
“Your next reality dating obsession has arrived,” Netflix wrote about the show in an official description. “Too Hot to Handle puts to the test whether these hot singletons can find emotional connection without the sex. On the shores of paradise, gorgeous singles meet and mingle. But there’s a twist. To win a $100,000 grand prize, they’ll have to give up sex.”
This show is honestly the perfect mix of so many reality classics. You have the beachy vibes of Bachelor in Paradise and Love Island, the camera style of Big Brother, the competition element of The Challenge, and the soapy drama of…all those shows. I was starting to run out of things to watch during quarantine, so Netflix really came through on this one. How soon do you think the prize money will start dropping? You’ll have to watch and see, but I predict…quickly.
Too Hot to Handle premieres on Netflix April 17.
