'Physical': premiere date and first glimpse of season two revealed

The 80s return with Physical, the acclaimed black comedy starring and produced by actress Rose Byrne (Troy and Bridesmaids) for the Apple TV+ platform . This week, the release date and the first images of the second season, which will have ten episodes, were announced. The first episode will be released on June 3 and the subsequent episodes will be released once a week.

Created by Annie Weisman, the story focuses “on the idyllic, yet fragile, beach paradise of sunny San Diego in the 1980s. Physical is a half-hour black comedy that follows Sheila Rubin, a seemingly obedient and quietly tortured housewife who supports the candidacy of her intelligent and controversial husband for the state assembly. But, behind closed doors, Sheila has her own darkly fun way of living that she rarely lets the world see. She is also fighting a complex set of personal demons related to her own image... That is, until he finds liberation through the most unlikely source: the world of aerobics.”

The series portrays the protagonist's journey from a suffocating and imprisoning life to the discovery of her emotional and economic liberation. Stronger and more confident, Sheila becomes the entrepreneur of a revolutionary videotape business, mixing her great passion for exercises with the technology of that time and an infallible idea to make money. “Sheila becomes someone we take for granted today (but who was completely radical at the time): the female lifestyle guru,” the description adds.

The fitness empire in the second season

In the new chapters, the audience will meet the protagonist again, after she released her first exercise video. However, far greater obstacles will stand in your way to success. Can she continue to be a good wife or will she decide to continue her attraction to someone else? On the other hand, more than one competition will arrive in its field, while the origin of the huge fitness industry is brewing.

Rose Byrne, Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel, Della Saba, Lou Taylor Pucci and Paul Sparks make up the main cast of Physical. For the second season, Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus) joined the cast as Vincent Vinnie Green, “a charismatic fitness instructor, weight loss guru and pioneer of the evening infomercial.”

The television production was created, written and produced by Annie Weisman, who also holds the position of executive producer alongside Stephanie Laing, the filmmaker behind the direction. Byrne, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements Alexandra Cunningham, John McNamara, Sera Gamble and Craig Gillespie also feature in executive production.

Physical's return to the Apple TV+ catalog will take place on June 3 of this year with the release of the first episode of the new season. The next nine will be released weekly every Friday on the streaming service.
