Where Is the Season 1 Cast of Too Hot to Handle Now?
In April 2020, Too Hot to Handle premiered on Netflix and was an instant hit. The premise was simple: a group of attractive singles living together on a beach would win $100,000 as long as they avoided all sexual activity. If they broke the rules, the virtual host named Lana would announce deductions. In the end, 10 contestants were left standing to split the remaining $75,000. A few couples emerged from the season, deciding to continue their romances off-screen. According to People, filming actually wrapped in April 2019, leaving fans to wonder what happened after the cameras stopped rolling.

He describes himself on his website as a producer, director, writer, actor and singer who is working on his debut album as a solo artist.

The 31-year-old did not find love while the cameras rolled, but connected with castmate Nicole OBrien after a group trip to Mexico, according to Oprah Magazine. They started dating in April 2019 but called it quits in May 2020. It seems the COVID-19 pandemic played a part in their breakup.
