- Too Hot to Handle is now streaming on Netflix.
- Early in the series, Harry and Francesca enter an on-off relationship with plenty of drama.
- Here's what we know about their relationship, including where they are now and whether they're still together.
Netflix has unleashed its newest dystopian reality programming, Too Hot to Handle , about a group of hot singles self-marooned on an island and told they must abstain from sexual activity for one month, with the chance to win $100,000. Its part trash television, part social psychology experiment, and maybe the best way to spend quarantine, reflecting on how you are also are stuck on an island and unable to touch anyone.
Two of the show's prominent characters are Harry Jowsey and Francesca Farago, who enter into a dramatic on-off relationship starting early on in the season. Fans of Harry and Frankie (Frarry? Hancesca?) are probably wondering where the two are now, and whether they're still together.
First, let's get to know them: Harry, a larger Australian version of Timothe Chalamet (its the smile, really only the smile), describes himself as cheeky and a cockatoo. Harry originally hails from Queensland, Australia, and is often called Prince Harry by other geographically-confused contestants (one: Harrys from Australia and I LITERALLY have no idea where that is.). According to his Instagram bio, he's currently based in Los Angeles.
Francesca Farago also hails from the commonwealth. Francesca (often Frankie) splits her time between Vancouver, Canada, and Los Angeles, according to her Instagram bio. Her best asset, she says, is her personality. But the eyes go to the boobs, she points out. Francesca seems to work as an Instagram model and has enough followers to make Too Hot to Handles grand prize of $100,000 seem like not really that big of a deal. She even says this. Money doesnt matter. Only Prince Harry matters.
Frankie and Harry quickly become one of the the shows main couples. In fact, they enact an entire relationship history over the course of their month-long stay on the islandparty, drinks, kissing, semi-dating, break up, rebound, reconciliation, relationship, moving in together?making Shakespeares main couple (sexed, married, and killed within a week) look like a couple of puritans.
Here's a timeline of Francesca and Harry's relationship:
Act I.
Harry and Francesca stand next to each other on Day One. Harry says he can see why shes a model. That night Harry kisses her when shes blindfolded. They make out later without blindfolds. Theyre told they cannot have sex.
Act II.
Harry tries to convince Francesca to make out with him. They make out. Harry confesses to the boys that he broke the rules. He blames Frankie. The group convenes and learns they have lost $3,000 of the $100,000 for the infraction. Its then revealed that Harry blamed Frankie. Frankie is upset. She later finds Harry sitting up in bed with Rhonda. Frankie makes out with Haley to enact revenge.
Act III.
Francesca and Haley distance themselves from the group. Francesca is paired with Harry in a Shibari workshop in which they reach some level of forgiveness while tying each other up. Francesca claims Harry has been friend-zoned.
Act IV.
Angry still at Harry, Frankie begins cuddling with Kelz in a hammock. Kelz and Frankie later go on a grape and hot tub date. She tries to convince Kelz to kiss her, but he doesnt. Later they shower together. Still no touching. Frankie admits shes not over Harry. She then breaks up with Kelz between dumbbell fly reps.
Act V.
Harry and Kelz feud. Harry uses his words to tell Kelz to back off. Kelz refuses. Harry talks to Francesca. They swear loyalty and are rewarded by the green light. They make out. Kelz has been vanquished.
Act VI.

Act VIII.
Harry and Francesca are give the suite once again, this time with the chance to earn back money. But they cant touch each other at all. They pass the test. Later, Harry agrees to move to Canada as the final demonstration of his feelings.
Are Francesca and Harry still together?
It still remains to be seen whether Francesca and Harry kept their romance alive after Too Hot to Handle filmed in the spring of 2019but their social media accounts offer a few intriguing clues as to their relationship status.
First of all, they're following each other, which is encouraging! Both of their Instagram bios suggest they're at least partly based in Los Angeles, so we know they haven't been separated by continents and hemispheres this whole time.
Some clever sleuthers over at Cosmo also found Harry and Francesca commenting on each other's Instagram posts. (Observe Harry commenting "what I wanna wake up to" on one of Frankie's photos. On another, he simply typed a bunch of drooling emojis.)
Harry has also been posting pictures from Vancouver. And while the city is like a giant intractable post card (perfect for influencers), it's also like an 18-hour flight from Queensland. Had had to be visiting Francesca. Right? RIGHT???? We don't actually know, but we'll let you judge for yourselves:
