Joining the trend of hot and steamy dating reality shows in terms of summer TV and programs, comes Too Hot to Handle season 5. Not to be completely outdone by the likes of Love Island 2023, Love Island USA season 5 or Temptation Island season 5, the Netflix series Too Hot to Handle returns to the streamer with a brand new crop of contestants willing to test their limits of self-control as it pertains to their hormones, and maybe even find love. If nothing else, each contestant hopes to claim the season-ending cash prize. 

So what should you know about the new season Netflix promises is “hotter than ever”? Here’s everything we know about Too Hot to Handle season 5.  

Too Hot to Handle season 5 release date

The new installment of Too Hot to Handle debuts on Friday, July 14 on Netflix.

Here's the official season 5 trailer, and it looks like the games are heading toward the sea as the season kicks off on a yacht. 

Too Hot to Handle premise 

Here is the official synopsis of the series: 

"On the shores of paradise, gorgeous singles meet and mingle. But there’s a twist. To win an enticing grand prize, they’ll have to give up sex."

Allow us to add that at the heart of the show is a competition. Yes, the singles flock to paradise and have the opportunity to find love, but they are also competing to win a prize that could be worth $200,000. The catch is, as they explore romances with one another, they have to exercise restraint and not intimately connect with each other. Given what we've seen of the show in the past, willpower isn't something show contestants have a lot of when surrounded by other attractive singles.
