Floor Is Lava is one of the latest sensations on Netflix and people are loving the competition series! The show was filmed a whole year ago in the empty IKEA building in Burbank, Calif.

because no studios wanted to have the lava inside their buildings. “We asked all of the main studios and nobody wanted 100,000 gallons of lava on their stuff, which is understandable.

Even the places with giant pools that typically hold water, lava is heavier than water so they didn’t want that in their pools either.
