'Too Hot to Handle Brazil' Cast: Who They Are and How to Find Them on Social Media

Too Hot to Handle Brazil, also known as Brincando Com Fogo in Portuguese, is the new reality series on Netflix that is bound to get you hot and bothered. The first four episodes are streaming now with the remaining six landing on Wednesday, July 28.

Just like the American version of the show, the sexually driven contestants will have to abstain from all forms of sexual contact, including kissing, if they want to stand a chance of winning the R$500,000 (around $95,000) prize.

As per tradition, with every rule that is broken without Lana's permission, the group's prize money will dwindle.

Along the way, contestants will come and go to spice things up in the São Paulo mansion and the contestants' restraint will be put to the test as sparks are set to fly between the flirtatious cast. Newsweek has everything you need to know about the contestants taking part in Too Hot to Handle Brazil.
