Berlin, February 14, 2023 – Love is in the air: Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Netflix presents 12 extremely irresistible, German-speaking singles! From February 28, in Too Hot To Handle: Germany, they’re looking for the wildest party of their lives. Erotic kissing, passionate touching, all the way to coitus... INTERRUPTUS! The scandalous party comes to an abrupt end when super-computer and virtual-chaperone Lana tells them why they are really in paradise. These hormone-fueled hotties are here to learn to have deep and meaningful conversations and build real relationships. So that they can properly concentrate on the task at hand, Lana is banning all sexual contact… yep, even masturbation!
The hotties are in shock, even though their abstinence could win them prize money of €200,000. Every tiny, raunchy slip will reduce their jackpot. Which heartbreakers can resist temptation and build deep, emotional connections?
Which of these hotties are Too Hot To Handle?

The hottest German-speaking singles come together in a tropical paradise to have the most exotic and erotic time of their lives. But there’s a twist – they didn’t account for super-computer and virtual chaperone Lana. She has banned any kind of erotic touching, so kissing, petting and masturbation are all off-limits! Any time a rule is broken, they’ll lose money from the €200,000 prize pot. Will the hormone-fueled hotties manage to find a deeper emotional connection in this sex-free zone, or are they simply … Too Hot To Handle?
