Netflix reveals dating show Too Hot To Handle has been renewed for two more seasons as filming gets underway in the Caribbean
Too Hot To Handle has been renewed for two more seasons by Netflix.
The reality series saw a string of attractive contestants learn they would win $100,000 if they had no sexual contact with each other for four weeks.
Taking place in a tropical setting, even kissing is not allowed if the contestants want the cash, with each rule break dwindling the prize money.
It’s a hit: Too Hot To Handle has been renewed for two more seasons by Netflix
The first season was filmed in Mexico while the second season, which is currently in the middle of filming, takes place on the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean, according to Deadline.
Brandon Reigg, Netflix VP of unscripted and documentary series, said: ‘The secret is out — we’re thrilled to bring back Too Hot To Handle for two new seasons in a tropical paradise.
‘Netflix members around the world fell in love with the hilarious antics of season one, and now fans won’t have to wait long to see our new contestants try (and fail) to follow [virtual assistant] Lana’s strict rules with plenty of twists and surprises along the way.’
Production on the series has reportedly been underway for a few months with contestants told they were taking part in a series called Parties in Paradise, to keep the surprise element of the show.

At the end of the first series, ten contestants made it to the final and split the $75,000 prize money between them.
The cast hailed from the UK, US, Ireland, Canada, and Australia and have kept in touch since the show ended.
Contestant Chloe Veitch told the Evening Standard: ‘We all FaceTime each other all the time and now [Too Hot To Handle] has been seen by millions of people, we want to make sure we all are okay. We are making sure we call people and text people so we’re all alright.’
The Essex native also told The Sun the series was a form of ‘sexual rehabilitation’ and changed her approach to dating.

She said: ‘It was sexual rehabilitation for everyone. I was a serial dater and would always have a few guys on the go.
‘I was addicted to Tinder, swiping all day. It was a confidence boost for me. But I never chose the best guys. I’ve been hurt before and have an emotional barrier up.’
Netflix co-CEO previously hailed Too Hot To Handle as the streaming service’s ‘biggest competition show ever’, with the first series the number one show on Netflix during the week of April 20 after it premiered.
