Too Hot To Handle, Netflix's popular reality dating show, is set to return with its sixth season on July 19. While the previous seasons have created quite a stir online for their twists and turns, and have quickly become a favorite for reality television fans, the upcoming sixth season promises even more drama with the introduction of a new host, Bad Lana.
The concept of the show remains the same, with a new batch of singles attempting to form meaningful connections while resisting physical urges. If they manage to abstain from any physical intimacy, they have the chance to win the grand prize of $250,000. This, of course, could be cut short if the contestants decide to break the rules set by the robot host of the show, Lana.
New twists, new Lana, new Too Hot To Handle
The first major change in season 6 is the casting process. Unlike previous seasons where contestants were unaware of the show's identity until the last moment, this season's hopefuls knew they were being cast for Too Hot To Handle from the outset.
The casting call was open, inviting singles from around the world to apply, which could result in a more diverse and dynamic group of participants. This transparency might influence the contestants' strategies and interactions, knowing the challenges they will face.
Fans of Too Hot To Handle have been familiarized with the concept and the twists and turns it brings along to the contestants during their journey. With the latest season on its way, the showrunners decided to revamp not only the casting process, but also introduce them to a new sidekick, Bad Lana.
The official synopsis of the show reads:
"For the first time ever this year's naughty nymphos think they know what they signed up for, but retreat warden LANA has some tricks up her sleeve with a new prize, new twists and some old, familiar faces. That's not all… Season 6 introduces brand new sidekick 'BAD LANA' who is guaranteed to stir up some trouble."
While Lana, the robot host of the show, has always been the voice of reason for the contestants on the show ever since its inception, Bad Lana will try to entice the players to make bad decisions and break the rules. Although fans will have to wait for the exact twists and turns this major change will bring, Bad Lana is sure to introduce a level of unpredictability to the contestants' journey in this latest season of Too Hot Too Handle.
In previous seasons, contestants have found it tough to keep their carnal desires in check even with Lana being present in the house. Bad Lana's presence is set to shake things up, making it even harder for contestants to stick to the rules.
What to expect from the new season
The release schedule for the show remains unclear at the time of writing. Season 5 of Too Hot To Handle released the first four episodes together on its premier, then the next three after a week, and the final three a week later.
This season's group of singles will have to bring new strategies and gameplay to stay in the game to keep up with the new twists presented by the showrunners. The cast and filming location of Too Hot To Handle are still unknown, but the previous seasons were filmed at the Emerald Pavilion in Turks and Caicos Islands.
Additionally, Netflix has broadened its reach beyond the TV screen and introduced a Too Hot To Handle mobile game exclusively on its platform. This expansion by the streaming giants of their property targets to engage the reality show's core viewers through this interactive game.
The experience of putting oneself in the shoes of the contestants allows the fans to stay connected to the show and its characters while they wait for the new season to premiere.
Too Hot To Handle season 6 is sure to give fans what they expect and beyond with new twists, a fresh cast, and a never-before-seen Lana. Fans can cross out July 19 on their calendars, and get ready for a season filled with love, drama, temptation, and surprises.
