What to Know About the 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6 Cast (and Their Instagrams)
Meet the 10 models and influencers going head-to-head with Bad Lana.
Your favorite summertime reality show guilty pleasure is here: Too Hot to Handle season 6 is coming to Netflix soon. On July 19, the series will bring viewers a new set of sexy singles (and so! many! models!) who will have to put their libidos aside for the chance to win a prize pot of $200,000. This time, the international cast will face both the good and evil versions of the robot host who puts them up to challenges, LANA, but these proto-influencers know what they're in for this time around. Season 6 marks the first time contestants knew what show they were signing for when they went through the casting process—meaning, there are likely some interesting personalities in the mix. (Although you can bet that Netflix will still throw them for a loop with a couple of other twists.)
The streaming giant announced the season 6 cast a few weeks from the show's premiere date. So to help guide you through this season's binge-watch, we're breaking down who the latest Too Hot to Handle players are.
