Netflix show Too Hot To Handle on the lookout for applicants ๐Ÿ‘€

For the first time in the show's history!

Author: Alex RossPublished 15th Aug 2023

It's the show that made a name for the likes of Harry Jowsey, Francesca Farago and Chloe Veitch, and now that it's had an incredible five series, Netflix's Too Hot To Handle is seemingly switching things up a bit.

As fans of the reality show will know, in past series contestants haven't been given the chance to apply... Instead they think they are applying for a totally different show, before virtual assistant 'Lana' reveals the truth as they arrive on the luxury Island.

But now, in a huge shake-up for the next series, bosses are on the hunt for applicants, with applications now open!

How do I apply for Too Hot To Handle?

Netflix confirmed they were looking for applicants on Monday 14th August, sharing an ad which reads: 'For the first time every Lana is going public. Too Hot To Handle is casting. Wanna take part? Or know somebody who should? Apply or nominate someone today'.

The caption then stated: 'Are you addicted to casual hook-ups but fail at deeper connections? Could LANA and a tropical retreat transform you, or someone you know, for the better? Apply for Too Hot to Handle Season 6 now'.

You can apply for Too Hot To Handle right here - Applicants must be 18+.

Fans and former contestants were quick to comment on the advert. Series five star Elys Hutchinson wrote: 'I nominate myself again, I miss Lana ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ‘…', with Christine Obanor adding: 'Lana can I come back ? ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿฝ I promise Iโ€™ll behave this time and protect the money ! Christine the cop?'. (sic)

A fan the wrote: 'Applying nowโค๏ธ', with another adding: 'Put me on the show'.

The premise of the show involves a group of single adults, who often struggle to form long-term relationships and instead enjoy meaningless flings, living in a luxury villa for four weeks as they attend workshops with relationship experts.

Of course, there is a twist! The contestants are banned from any sexual contact or self-gratification, and if they do, the prize money begins to fall!

All five series of Too Hot To Handle are available on Netflix now.
