Today Apple TV+ debuted the trailer for PHYSICAL the highly anticipated 10-episode dramedy starring Rose Byrne and created by Annie Weisman that will make its global premiere on Friday, June 18, 2021, exclusively on Apple TV+.
“Physical” will premiere with the first three episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.
Fans of Margot Robbie’s acclaimed performance of Tonya Harding and Allison Janney’s Oscar-winning performance as her mother in I, TONYA – as well as the new Emma Stone film CRUELLA – will certainly be interested given that one of the series’ directors is Craig Gillespie, who helmed both these films. He is definitely a director to keep an eye on!
Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of sunny 1980s San Diego, PHYSICAL is a half-hour dark comedy following Sheila Rubin (Rose 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.
Check out the footage from the TV series in the video player below:
At first hooked on the exercise itself, Sheila’s real road to empowerment comes when she discovers a way to merge this newfound passion with the burgeoning technology of videotape to start a revolutionary business. The series tracks her epic journey from a stifled, overlooked enabler to a powerful, confident economic force, as Sheila transforms into someone we take for granted today (but was entirely radical at the time) — the female lifestyle guru.
In addition to Byrne, PHYSICAL stars Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel, Della Saba, Lou Taylor Pucci, Paul Sparks and Ashley Liao.
PHYSICAL is produced for Apple TV+ by Tomorrow Studios (a partnership between Marty Adelstein and ITV Studios). Created, written and executive produced by Annie Weisman, who also serves as showrunner, “Physical” is directed by Craig Gillespie, Liza Johnson and Stephanie Laing, who also serve as executive producers along with Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements for Tomorrow Studios, Alexandra Cunningham, John McNamara, Sera Gamble and Byrne.
