Back again with a 3rd season, Physical: 100 is taking on a new twist this time round, with contestants not just from Korea alone, but all around Asia (& Australia) .
In the latest season, the show even adapts a new name.
Season 3 on Netflix is now called 'Physical: Asia' as the premise of the show changes a little, with not 100 contestants but 8 different teams, 6 to a team, each representing a country.
Participating countries are, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey, Mongolia, Philippines and Australia. This also means that the competitive spirit in this season has now been doubled, with upholding their country's pride on their mind.
This 12-episode show is set for a weekly release with two episodes per week. However, to kick things off, Netflix has released 4 episodes in the first week.
With only 4 episodes released, the world is already hooked. Especially our fellow Malaysians!
In just two days, the show occupies the No. 2 spot on the Top 10 Shows In Malaysia on Netflix currently.
After just 4 episodes, reviews are coming in and everyone is just as impressed as they were with the first two seasons. Some are even saying that this might be the best season yet.
''The competition between the countries and the playful banter makes it all even more stressful and exciting for viewers!", says a netizen via X.
It is also quite obvious on the increase in budget in this latest season, just from the participants and prize fund alone.
Judo champion Yoshihiro "Sexyama" Akiyama and UFC fighter Dong Hyun Kim were among the show's headliners in earlier seasons. This time, Manny Pacquiao, the legendary eight-weight boxer, is without a doubt the main attraction. Followed by UFC Champion, Robert Whittaker, representing team Australia.
Pacquiao's entrance on the show, not only had fans screaming at home but even fellow contestants as they clap with mouths wide open, in complete awe to be competing alongside him.
