Netflix has picked up a second season of the game show “Floor Is Lava,” TheWrap has confirmed.
The 10-episode game show debuted in June 2020 and challenged teams to navigate rooms “flooded with lava by leaping from chairs, hanging from curtains and swinging from chandeliers,” according to Netflix’s description. “Yes, really.”
