Netflix's fan-favourite adventure show Floor is Lava will be returning with its third installment on Friday, September 30, at 3:01 am ET.
Rutledge Wood will be returning once again as the host of the upcoming season, which will feature teams of two in every episode, competing to reach the top of a giant hot lava mountain. Their journey will be made even more difficult by the physical hurdles placed along the way.
Season 3 of Floor is Lava will be a five-episode series featuring a total of 15 contestants. In each 30-minute long episode, teams of two will be tasked with climbing up a lava mountain built inside a studio. The team that makes it to the top will take home a grand cash prize of $10,000.
Arthur Smith, Anthony Carbone, Frank Sinton, Anthony Storm, Brian Smith, Caroline Baumgard, Irad Eyal, and Megan McGrath have served as executive producers for the adventure-task based show.
Details explored of Floor is Lava ahead of its release
Netflix's YouTube channel recently dropped a trailer for season 3 of the show, along with a brief synopsis, which reads:
"Fifteen daring new teams fight to race to the top of a towering volcano to win $10,000. Who's going to triumph and who's going to be toast?"
In keeping with the format of previous seasons, this season will also have contestants navigating an obstacle course in a room filled with 80,000 US gallons of a slippery, bright red substance that simulates hot lava. To get across the room, teams will have to move between objects situated above the "lava", climb up a studio-built mountain, and ultimately reach the exit without falling in.
Once a player falls into the lava, they are eliminated from the game. However, their team member is allowed to continue and attempt to complete the course.
The mood of the game is perfectly captured by Rutledge Wood, who says in the trailer:
"Welcome to a new season of Floor Is Lava. The lava? Hotter. The towering volcano? Hotter. The host? Still super duper hot."
