Too Hot to Handle Will Be Heating Up Summer Again This Year — and It All Starts in June

Published on March 23, 2021 at 2:55 PM

The premise of Netflix's dating reality show Too Hot to Handle seems tailor-made for this era: a show that rewards contestants for not making physical contact. It was a no-brainer to renew it for another season, and that second season is slated to air this summer. So when can we tune in for another season of drama and challenges? If you guessed June, you'd be correct.

It looks like Netflix is experimenting with a two-part release format rather than the season-binge model that it usually uses (and that the first season of Too Hot to Handle used last year). The first four episodes will premiere on June 23 with the final six premiering on June 30.

Netflix is also ready to promote its 10 new contestants and remind us all of the unusual premise and the stakes. "Anyone who dares to break the rules of no kissing, no heavy petting, and no self-gratification of any kind will see the $100,000 prize drop faster than our contestants' libido in the least sexy vacation getaway of their lives," reads the season two press release. It's sure to be an intriguing summer!
