The year round slate of both new and renewed shows include:

Too Hot To Handle:
This hot favourite show is coming back for season 4 with a brand new batch of horned-up hellraisers who have just arrived for what they think will be the sexiest vacation of their lives. But with Lana watching, will this wild cast be able to stick to the rules and abstain from any kind of sexual contact (or self-gratification) in order to form meaningful connections, and keep that prize money as high as their sex drives?
Developed by Laura Gibson and Charlie Bennett, ‘Too Hot To Handle’ is produced by Thames and Talkback (Fremantle labels).
Love Is Blind:
Season 2 of this popular show was a global hit and marked five consecutive weeks on Netflix’s global Top 10 list for English-language TV series, reaching the Top 10 in 54 countries after it premiered on February 11.

With no distractions from the outside world, the singles talk to a stream of potential love interests and when a meaningful connection is made, they propose and then lay their eyes on their fiancé for the first time. Engaged and back in the real world, as the couples plan their wedding day, they will quickly discover whether they can turn their emotional connection into a physical one before the fast-approaching ceremony. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, this addictive 10-part series will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.”

In ‘The Ultimatum’ six different couples are on the verge of marriage and while one partner is ready to get married, the other isn’t quite as sure.
