Meet The Too Hot To Handle Season 5 Cast
Here’s the lowdown on everyone!
Too Hot To Handle is returning to our screens soon for season five and we couldn’t be more excited to see a brand new group of people compete against each other for love.
The hit Netflix show has cast a brand new line-up of people who have no idea what they’ve got themselves in for as they’re faced with an intimacy ban seconds after walking through the doors of their new home for the next few weeks.
The contestants will be supervised by Lana the robot, who appears to have eyes in the back of her head when it comes to the contestants’ antics, giving us some serious Irish mammy vibes.
The one rule of the island paradise… the contestants must abstain from any intimate activities in an attempt to gain more than just a physical connection – if they don’t follow the rule, well, it’s an expensive lesson to learn.
The massive prize fund drops by thousands every time the rule is broken, yikes!
Too Hot To Handle is returning to Netflix on July 14th, to help you prepare for the drama we’ve gathered everything we know about the incoming singletons headed into the show.

Netflix says: “This Prince Charming look-a-like is used to only worrying about 2 things: his hair and holidays. Alex has masked his indecisiveness under the guise of being spontaneous. He’s not breaking your heart, he’s just booked to go away last minute! However, when Lana forces Alex to stay in one place at the retreat and confront feelings head on, how will this jet-setting lothario manage?”
Elys Hutchinson

Age: 23
From: Switzerland
Job: Model
Instagram: @elys_hutchinson
Netflix says: “Elys has broken nearly every bone in her body while skiing, but she’s broken just as many hearts! Split between the runway and the slopes, Elys is the perfect blend of tomboy and girly girl. Ibiza, Switzerland and London’s loss is Lana’s gain. Elys is in her element flirting with an international roster, but with so much off the table, things could go downhill after Lana’s arrival.”
Courtney Randolph

Age: 25
From: Houston, USA
Job: Real Estate Agent
Instagram: @courtneykrandolph
Netflix says: “This American stunner spends her days building up both a multi-faceted business empire and a sexy roster. She operates as a boss in the boardroom and the bedroom. Courtney is the cheerleader every girl needs in their corner. She puts the loyal in loyalty, but will Lana be welcomed into her clique or will she become Courtney’s ultimate enemy?”
Hunter LoNigro

Age: 24
From: Arizona, USA
Job: Influencer
Instagram: @hunting_for_lonigro
Netflix says: “Hunter loves spending time with a girl who is an adventure-seeking, risk taker…until the next free-spirited, head turner catches his eye. His infectious personality has resulted in Hunter being Mr. Popular in his friendship group. After Lana dictates her retreat rules, Hunter will have a tough decision on his hands – will money, mates or Hunter’s mojo take the lead?”
Megan Thomson

Age: 26
From: Cambridge, UK
Job: Personal Assistant
Instagram: @meganthomsn
Netflix says: “JLS’s self-proclaimed number one fan is ready to strut into the retreat and make the boys wanna fall. This bundle of joy is sure to be the tonic the retreat needs once Lana unleashes her rules. Will Megan be up for the challenge of digging deep into where she’s going wrong in relationships or will the boy band looks of Lana’s other guests be too much of a distraction?”
Dre Woodard

Age: 23
From: Atlanta, USA
Job: Graduate
Instagram: @drewoodard
Netflix says: “Forget Southern Belle and let us introduce our gorgeous Southern Bae, Dre. As one of 13 siblings he is used to having to be loud to make his voice and presence heard. Lana, we hope you’re listening! Dre goes on a date with someone new every day of the week that ends in a ‘Y’. However, there’s nowhere to hide at the retreat. Our talking cone is going to need to keep her eyes and ears peeled!”
Isaac Francis

Age: 24
From: New Jersey, USA
Job: Banker and model
Instagram: @isaacfranciss
Netflix says: “Despite being born in Manchester, Isaac is the ultimate USA frat boy. Whether he’s hosting a party on the Jersey Shore or spraying bottles of champagne in a New York club, heads always turn when he walks into a room. His mischievous spirit is likely to attract attention in the retreat, but will Isaac be able to charm Lana like he charms his mum into letting him cause chaos?”
Christine Obanor
View this post on Instagram
Age: 26
From: Texas, USA
Job: Model
Instagram: @christineobanor
Netflix says: “Who made the mistake of saying good things come in small packages? Christine is 6ft1 and fabulous. Christine comes across as someone who is used to getting her own way with guys, but in reality, she feigns getting the ick if she suspects she’s not a guy’s number one girl. Lana is likely to bring this to Christine’s attention and encourage her to confront this head on. Will Christine flourish under Lana’s gaze or flee the retreat?”
Louis Russell

Age: 22
From: Hampshire, UK
Job: Model
Instagram: @louis_russell
Netflix says: “If Lana wants someone who is cheeky, charming and a challenge, then she’s going to love having Louis in the retreat. His hobbies include boxing, football…and making a girl fall in love for the night. As someone who spent a lot of their school years in detention, Louis has never been one to follow rules. He’s likely to do his best to steal the girls from Lana’s gaze and we bet this dapper sweet talker won’t have to try too hard.”
Hannah Brooke

Age: 24
From: Los Angeles, USA
Job: Musical Artist
Instagram: @hannahbrooke
Netflix says: “Coi Leray must have been singing about Hannah when she sang “girls is players too” as this beauty really could have anybody. Hannah is a triple threat: she has the voice of an angel, dances like nobody’s watching (when everyone’s watching) and has been known to run rings around guys. Lana’s going to need to watch out, this singing siren isn’t used to taking no for an answer.”
