With Too Hot To Handle season 5 dropping on Netflix next week, fans can't wait to find out all about the new cast of the popular dating show.
This cheeky series follows ten commitment-phobic singletons who have to abstain from getting it on to win a $200,000K prize fund. Little do they know it, but the contestants will be slapped with an intimacy ban after entering the Caribbean retreat, with the show's all-seeing eye Lana, an Alexa-style virtual assistant, watching their every move.
The premise is that instead of giving into lust, the contestants must try to form meaningful connections, and if you're a fan of Too Hot to Handle then you've probably been wondering which Too Hot To Handle couples are still together, from Emily and Cam in season 2 to Seb and Kayla from season 4. And now that season 5 is on the horizon, viewers are keen to know more about the new Too Hot to Handle cast and when they'll first be appearing on screen.
Too Hot to Handle season 5 release date
Set your reminders as Season 5 of Too Hot To Handle will be released on Netflix on Friday, July 14, when the first four episodes will premiere. As usual, we’ll be drip-fed the ten episodes over the course of two weeks and episodes 5-7 will drop on Netflix on Friday, July 21, while the final two will be released on Friday, July 28.
To get you ready for the big day, we've got the lowdown on the cast members you won't be able to stop watching this summer...
Too Hot to Handle Season 5 cast:
As you’d expect on one of the sexiest shows on Netflix, the ten contestants in this year’s Too Hot To Handle are a ridiculously good-looking bunch of twenty-somethings who can’t wait to strip off into their swimwear and spend two weeks in the Caribbean.
They will be joined by Lana, a virtual assistant and Alexa-style AI robot, who keeps a watchful eye over the contestants and acts as the narrator of the show. But who will find love, and who will be first to break the rules and jeopardise that prize money? Let’s take a look at the cast of season five…
