Craig Gillespie acts as one of the executive producers on ‘Physical’. This is a good sign for the quality of the show and will also draw in a large audience who are already fond of Craig Gillespie’s work. Craig Gillespie has worked on the Margot Robbie movie ‘I, Tonya’ which was very well received by critics and audiences alike. ‘Physical’ probably deals with similar kinds of settings and subject matter as ‘I, Tonya’ which is perhaps why Gillespie signed on to work on the project.

‘Physical’ Season 2 renewed or cancelled? Apple TV+ Renewal and Release Date

What makes ‘Physical’ entertaining for most audiences is that the show revolves around an underdog trying to take control of her life by overcoming mental blocks and working towards success. The whole show is narrated by the protagonist Sheila. This narration offers viewers an insight into Sheila’s mind and helps introduce some clever one-liners and humour into the show.

Thanks to Rose Byrne’s performance, Sheila is a likeable character and acts as a strong focus for the show despite other less compelling elements.

‘PHYSICAL’ STAR SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE SHOW

The lead actress Rose Byrne spoke about how Sheila is one of the most unique characters she has ever played. This is because of how Sheila handles her appearance and presents herself a certain way even though she is going through a lot of internal turmoil. What also makes Sheila a good lead character is that audiences will want to root for her despite the immoral and questionable choices she makes. Rose Byrne also went on to talk about how Sheila’s inner monologue is very uncomfortable to perform but makes the show stand out from the crowd. As the season progresses, this inner monologue starts to become more positive, making her a leader and something that won’t simply put her down anymore but instead help prop her up.

Another theme explored in the show is that a lot of women from that time period were able to find economic stability as a result of their work in the fitness industry. This adds a feminist angle to the show and makes it further relatable.

Another star of the show, Dierdre Friel, spoke about how she was at first made uncomfortable by the show’s negative remarks on plus-size women. But Friel later realised that these comments were not coming from a mean and immature source of securing cheap laughs. The comments about plus-size bodies are coming off as a result of Sheila’s personal issues. All the anger and negativity she directs to others is in some way a manifestation of her mental health issues and not indicative of her true feelings towards others.

Apple TV+ has yet to give a formal statement on whether they will cancel or renew ‘Physical’.  The show seems to have an overall positive reaction and Apple TV+ does need more content in order to compete with other streaming services like Netflix, HBO max, Disney+, etc. If the audience and viewership numbers are strong enough and the budget to produce the show is worth keeping members subscribed, then Apple TV+ may renew ‘Physical’ sometime after or towards the end of the first season.
