Netflix reveals shocking reason for Too Hot To Handle robot Lana’s name- and fans are nearly speechless
NETFLIX blew everyone’s minds on Friday when it revealed how the robot, Lana, from the streaming service’s new reality show, Too Hot to Handle, got its name.
Like the show itself, it was a very NSFW — aka not safe for work — revelation.
As is all about sex, both having it and abstaining from it, so is backstory for the cone robot’s moniker.
Netflix tweeted, effectively leaving fans speechless: “If you found yourself watching Too Hot To Handle and wondering where we got the name Lana from... reverse it.”
Upon realizing Lana read backwards is “anal,” social media users immediately shared their astonishment.
Many could only muster simple responses, like, “WOW,” “OH,” or just screaming emojis.
One person called out the streaming service itself, writing: “Netflix got REAL horny on main all of a sudden.”
Another tweeted: “You all are too too funny.”
A third said: “That's just crude haha but I'm not surprised.”
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before author Jenny Han saw the tweet and knew just who to send it to: Lana Condor, the actress starring in the Netflix adaptations of Jenny’s books who bears the robot’s same name.
The writer tagged Lana in a tweet, along with the laughing-so-hard-she’s-crying emoji.
Too Hot to Handle, which released season 1 last week, follows “10 young, hot singles from around the world…in a tropical paradise for what they think will be the most exotic and erotic summer of their lives — but there’s a twist.”
The synopsis continues: “These commitment-phobes who love a casual hook-up, will have to give up all hanky panky for the entire retreat if they want to win the $100,000 grand prize.

“No kissing, no heavy petting, and no self-gratification of any kind. With every slip, the prize money goes down.
“In this luxury no-bone zone, will the serial singletons be able to form deeper emotional connections? Or will the temptation simply be too hot to handle?”
