Physical – New episode

Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of sunny 1980s San Diego, “Physical” is a half-hour dark comedy following Sheila Rubin (played by 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.

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 Rose Byrne, “Physical” stars Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel, Della Saba, Lou Taylor Pucci, Paul Sparks and Ashley Liao.

In this week’s new episode, “Let’s Take This Show on the Road,” The Rubins head to Los Angeles, where they visit the Logans in hopes of fundraising at a party. Breem’s demons surface.

The seventh episode of “Physical” premieres Friday, July 16, 2021 on Apple TV+.

In the sixth episode of season two, “What’s Out There,” when they venture to a remote island, Hilde and Matt make a troubling discovery in the surrounding lake.

New episode premieres Friday, July 16, 2021 on Apple TV+.
