Created by Annie Weisman, the black comedy drama features Rose Bryne, Rory Scovel, Paul Sparks, Della Saba and Lou Taylor Pucci in the lead roles.

Plotted in the scenic beach paradise of 1980s San Diego, Physical follows the life of Sheila Rubin, a woman engaged in a journey of self-discovery and personal healing with the aid of aerobics.

What follows is a series of ups and downs, including those in her marital life besides the rivalries that spring up in her professional endeavours in the ever fiercely growing fitness industry.

Played by Rose Byrne, Sheila Rubin, has become television's most favourite character, owing to the character's complex relatability. Byrne is best remembered for her appearances in films like Bridesmaids and Insidious.

On the exterior, Sheila Rubin is a dutiful housewife supporting her witty yet controversial husband contesting for state assembly. However, when by herself, her own dark humorous take on life as she seldom gets to live out in the open.

Viewers can get to see more on this with the final season coming out in August. Here's the official trailer for Apple TV+'s Physical season 3:
