What Netflix show was filmed in Turks and Caicos?

Both Too Hot to Handle Seasons 4 and 5 were filmed at the Emerald Pavilion in Turks and Caicos.



The most high-profile Netflix production filmed in the Turks and Caicos Islands is the reality dating series "Too Hot to Handle". Specifically, Season 2 of the global hit was filmed on the main island of Providenciales at the ultra-luxurious Turtle Tail Estate. The show's premise involves attractive singles living in a villa while being banned from physical intimacy, and the sprawling beachfront estate provided the perfect "paradise" backdrop for the drama. Additionally, the islands have appeared in the British spy thriller "Turks & Caicos" (part of the Worricker Trilogy), which stars Bill Nighy and Helena Bonham Carter; while originally a BBC production, it gained widespread international viewership via Netflix's licensing. The archipelago's "electric blue" waters and white sand beaches make it a favorite for "sun-and-sand" reality content and high-stakes thrillers, as the local government offers significant tax incentives and privacy for major film and television productions looking for an authentic Caribbean aesthetic.
