The streaming giant is serving up a delicious dating show - with one very big twist.

So if you loved Love Is Blind, and Back With The Ex, sounds like this might be the show to keep you busy during self isolation.

Here's everything we know about your next Netflix binge...

What is Too Hot to Handle?

Think Love Island, but without the freedom of doing bits in the Hideaway or anywhere in fact.

In this show, 10 young, hot singles from around the world come together and meet on a paradise island, where they'll get to enjoy the holiday of their dreams and get to know each other on another level.

But there's just one little thing - they're not allowed to touch each other!

The aim of this dating show is for singletons to form deeper connections with each other without getting physical.

Initially, there will be $100,000 up for grabs for those who can keep their hands off each other the longest, however, if anyone slips up, this cash prize will go down, which could mean winner(s) could walk away with absolutely nothing.

People Jumping In Sea Against Sky

The official synopsis reads: "10 young, hot singles from around the world come together in a seaside paradise for what they think will be the most exotic and erotic summer of their lives— but there’s a twist. These commitment-phobes who love a casual hook-up, will have to give up all hanky panky for the entire retreat if they want to win the $100,000 grand prize.

"No kissing, no heavy petting, and no self-gratification of any kind. With every slip, the prize money goes down. In this luxury no-bone zone, will the serial singletons be able to form deeper emotional connections? Or will the temptation simply be too hot to handle?"

When is it on?

Too Hot to Handle landed on Netflix on 17th April.

The eight-episode series is now available to stream in its entirety - something many viewers rushed to do during its first day.

Where is Too Hot to Handle filmed?

The show is made in Mexico, in a private estate called Casa Tau in the Punta Mita region of the South American country. Punta Mita is a private peninsula which is situated at the North of Banderas Bay.

The seriously secluded haven is surrounded by over nine miles of Pacific Ocean beaches and coves, making it the perfect place for a hideaway holiday for our cast members. And if you have the money, you can even stay at the Casa Tau retreat.

Love Is Blind Netflix
Netflix's Love Is Blind

In the past couple of months, Netflix have been serving up some really, juicy dating series that we just can't seem to get enough of.

And if Too Hot To Handle is anything like these, viewers are in for a real treat.

Love Is Blind dropped on the streaming service on February 13th, and the entire world went crazy for the show, which saw couples dating in pods and getting engaged without even seeing each other in the flesh.

Likewise, Back With The Ex had everyone wondering whether the couples were still together after reuniting on the show.

While we love a good dating series like Love Island which takes us through all the steps pretty slowly, we can't help but love an odd concept, which just so happens to work.

These dating series show us the attraction of dating with a difference. From 90 Day Fiance, to Love After Lockup, the weirder the better!

Read our review of Too Hot to Handle, which claims the new series is "cringeworthy, toe-curling and completely addictive".
