Season 2 of Netflix’s smash hit dating show, ‘Too Hot To Handle,’ landed just as we were coming out of covid.

I created the official companion show, shooting three episodes across two days. The challenge was how to bring together the cast safely (who were scattered around the world and unable to travel due to lockdown restrictions) and still maintain a sense of cameraderie.

We built a tropical set, transforming a white cove wall into something that felt like a warm, romantic sunset. It was Chloe Veitch’s first time presenting, and she was a total natural, creating a rapport with cast members even via video link. The series connected with fans; the reunion episode alone has garnered over 2 million views.
