Too Hot to Handle: Brazil (Portuguese: Brincando com Fogo: Brasil; Literally: Playing with Fire: Brazil) is a Brazilian reality television dating game show based on the American–British series of the same name, which premiered on Netflix on July 21, 2021, as part of a two-week event.[1] [2]

Hosted by a virtual assistant named "Lana", the show revolves around 10 people – all of whom primarily engage in meaningless flings and have difficulties to form long-lasting relationships – who are placed together in a house for four weeks and must go through various workshops, all while being forbidden from any kissing, sexual contact or self-gratification, with the monetary prize getting reduced any time a rule is broken. However, they are not afraid to raise the temperature.

Netflix renewed Too Hot to Handle: Brazil for a second and last season on November 23, 2021.[3] Netflix then first released Season 2 on September 28, 2022.

Premise

Hosted by a cone-shaped virtual assistant named "Lana", the show revolves around a group of people – all of whom primarily engage in meaningless flings and have difficulties to form long-lasting relationships – who are placed together in a house for four weeks. While there, the contestants must go through various workshops, all while being forbidden from any kissing, sexual contact or self-gratification. The idea behind this is to foster genuine connections between the participants. The contestants start with a R$500,000 grand prize that gets reduced any time a rule is broken.

Each season starts with 10 new contestants, although later new additions occasionally join throughout. Similarly, contestants who are unable to form connections in the house or commit to the process are sometimes kicked out.
