What will happen in Too Hot To Handle season 4?

In traditional Too Hot To Handle fashion, a group of singles will descend on a luxury villa, thinking that they've signed up to a dating show where they'll be falling in love "harder, faster and more intensely than ever".

However, in the first episode, they'll soon come face to face with Lana, Too Hot To Handle's virtual assistant, who reveals that they are actually on the Netflix show and will lose prize money if they give into their sexual desires.

In previous years, contestants have thought they were taking part in fake shows titled Parties in Paradise and Pleasure Island, while in season 4, the singles think they've signed up to appear on Wild Love – a new show hosted by Mario Lopez.

"To attract another batch of clueless cuties, we had to create our biggest fake show yet," Too Hot To Handle narrator Desiree Burch says in the show's trailer.
