A third season of episodes is nearly set for release following numerous pandemic-related production delays in 2020 — and that’s good news for fans who’ve given this show stellar ratings at IMDb. July 2021 is the latest window that’s been teased for the awaited debut.

Debuting: 2023
Reality TV fans were overjoyed to hear that Netflix was bringing back its steamy show, Too Hot to Handle, for another batch of episodes. The second season will drop in June, but no artwork has been released yet, so this image is of the cast from the initial run. The first season saw a group of attractive young people dropped onto an island together, with the twist that they couldn’t have any sex for four weeks or else they’d forfeit the $100,000 prize at stake. Since the twist was a surprise to the contestants the first time around, it’s unclear if the same one will be used this time or if the show will switch up its formula.
Black Summer — Season Three
Debuting: 2023
It’s pretty ironic when a show about a global crisis is delayed by an actual global crisis.

The first season was a brisk eight episodes, making it an easy one to catch up on.
