Floor is Lava, Netflix’s fan-favorite adventure series will return with its third chapter on Friday, September 30, at 3:01 a.m. ET. Rutledge Wood will return as the presenter of the forthcoming season, which will feature teams of two racing to reach the summit of a massive hot lava mountain in each episode. The physical obstacles set along the road will make their quest much tougher. Season 3 of Floor is Lava will consist of five episodes and will feature a total of 15 candidates. Teams of two will be faced with climbing a lava mountain erected within a studio in each 30-minute show. The team that wins the competition will get a $10,000 cash reward.
The show’s executive producers are Arthur Smith, Anthony Carbone, Frank Sinton, Anthony Storm, Brian Smith, Caroline Baumgard, Irad Eyal, and Megan McGrath.

Floor is Lava details ahead of its debut.
Netflix’s YouTube account has released a teaser for season 3 of the program, along with a short synopsis:
“Fifteen brave new teams compete for $10,000 by racing to the peak of a huge volcano. Who will prevail and who will be defeated?”
In line with past seasons, players will navigate an obstacle course in a chamber filled with 80,000 US gallons of a slippery, brilliant red liquid that represents boiling lava. Teams will have to maneuver between items above the “lava,” climb up a studio-built mountain and eventually reach the exit without falling in. When a player falls into the lava, they are out of the game. Their team member, on the other hand, is permitted to continue and try to finish the race. Rutledge Wood wonderfully captures the spirit of the game in the trailer:
“Floor Is Lava returns for a new season. What about the lava? Hotter. The massive volcano? Hotter. Who is the host? Still really hot.”
