The first look photo shows Byrne sporting a mile-high curly hairdo, signaling “Physical” will lean heavily into the ’80s milieu. Here’s what we know so far, per the official synopsis: In addition to Byrne, “Physical” stars Rory Scovel (“I Feel Pretty”), Dierdre Friel (“New Amsterdam”), Della Saba (“Steven Universe”), Lou Taylor Pucci (“You”), Paul Sparks (“House of Cards”), and Ashley Liao (“Fuller House”). 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.”
Weisman and Byrne also serve as executive producers alongside Alex Cunningham, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements. Additional executive producers include Craig Gillespie, who directs the pilot, and Liza Johnson and Stephanie Laing, who all serve as directors. Apple TV+ will release “Physical” sometime this summer. Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news! Sign up for our Email Newsletters here.
