PHYSICAL is an under-appreciated gem, and we’re so thrilled that Season Two isn’t too far away. Here’s a first look, plus the new Trailer!
Synopsis:
Season two finds our hero Sheila Rubin (Rose Byrne) having successfully launched her first fitness video only to encounter some new and bigger obstacles on her path. She is torn between loyalty to her husband (Rory Scovel) and the values he represents, and a dangerous attraction to someone else. And since she’s no longer the only game in town, she finds herself having to outrun some fierce new competitors on the road to building a full-fledged fitness empire.
In addition to Byrne, “Physical” stars Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel, Della Saba, Lou Taylor Pucci and Paul Sparks. Joining the all-star ensemble cast for season two is Critics Choice Award-winner Murray Bartlett (“The White Lotus”) in the new role of “Vincent ‘Vinnie’ Green,” a charismatic fitness instructor, weight-loss guru, and pioneer of the late-night infomercial.

Rose Byrne continues to build on an impeccable streak of work with recent successes like Mrs. America. Upcoming ’80s-set Apple TV+ Series PHYSICAL is no different, Byrne starring as a housewife named Sheila, supporting her husband Danny (Rory Scovel) in his all-encompassing bid to run for state.
Sheila is battling some own nasty demons in her head and sometimes these are rather crippling. Ceasing an opportunity to lead her own Aerobics class on the looming VHS video format, she begins to find herself, carving her own identity as she grapples with some deep unhappiness in many aspects of her life, including her marriage and relationship with her parents.
Facing some opposing forces that were part of the era the story is set and even today, we see her left to her own devices making ends meet to realize a dream of her own, while keeping it all a secret from those closest to her.
Byrne truly is a force and is fierce, funny, crude yet magnetic in Sheila‘s often suppressed voice. Craig Gillespie (Cruella, I, Tonya) has a hand in helming, once again showing his great skill at bringing to life misunderstood, complex characters which are in a perpetual gray area making questionable choices but right in their own minds about it.
Ten episodes of PHYSICAL arrives on Apple TV+ June 18, 2021 and we’re already hooked!

Synopsis:
Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of sunny 1980s San Diego, “Physical” is a half-hour dark comedy following Sheila Rubin (Byrne), a quietly tortured, seemingly dutiful housewife supporting her smart but controversial husband’s bid for state assembly. But behind closed doors, Sheila has her own darkly funny take on life she rarely lets the world see. She’s also battling a complex set of personal demons relating to her self-image…. that is, until she finds release through the unlikeliest source: the world of aerobics.
PHYSICAL arrives Friday, June 18, 2021 on Apple TV+ with new episodes arriving weekly.
