Too Hot To Handle might be the next dating show to get the chop.
The Netflix’s dating show is reportedly ‘on hold’ and could ‘not return’ for a seventh season despite the very high ratings.
The show – which certainly gave Love Island a run for its money – aired since 2020 on the giant streaming platform releasing a new season about every nine months.
‘Execs at both terrestrial channels and streamers are increasingly using terms such as ‘on hold’ and ‘resting’ for shows that do not repeat as expected — and many never return,’ a TV insider told The Sun.
‘And a lot of entertainment shows on Netflix have bitten the dust already this year, ranging from Celebrity Bear Hunt to Cheat: Unfinished Business.
They added: ‘So, although may return, the signs are not good in the current environment, where competition for viewers is fierce and other dating shows like Netflix’s Love Is Blind are doing very well.’

Daily Mail has contacted Netflix’s representatives for a comment on the matter.
During its latest and sixth season, Too Hot To Handle contestants were in for a shock as the series introduced a new prize, had several shocking twists, and hosted some familiar faces.
The trailer at the time showed the new batch of singletons entering the retreat with narrator Desiree Burch, 45, confirming that the series was back with a twist.
For the first time ever this year’s naughty contestants think they know what they have signed up for, however, retreat warden LANA has some tricks up her sleeve.
Elsewhere in the trailer, the contestants appear visibly shocked as former Too Hot To Handle contestants make their return.
Among those returning to the retreat were Cam Holmes and Francesca Farago but it’s not known in what capacity – with both stars in relationships when they appeared on the show.
Too Hot To Handle’s robot LANA also made a comeback, but this time around she had a daring sidekick named ‘BAD LANA’, who is guaranteed to stir up some trouble.
The show takes ten hot singles, who are notorious commitment-phobes when it comes to relationships and puts them in an island villa together for what they think is going to be a four-week sexcation.

However, when they get there, they’re told there is a prize of $200,000 overall involved, but it depends on all of them remaining abstinent for the four-week retreat.
Despite the Netflix show featuring plenty of couples with red hot chemistry, only two couples from the programme are still together.
