Physical: 100: Season (Season 2)

Release date 19 March 2024

The reality series that no one saw coming, but in retrospect we should have, has had viewers hooked since the first season aired in January. The similarities to the fictional Squid Game are obvious, and it seems to have avoided the negativity and controversy of the British version of a Squid Games reality series. The basic premise is that 100 people compete in a series of grueling physical challenges, all in an attempt to win a large sum of money. The show is made even more exciting by the fact that the contestants are all professional athletes and fitness influencers, which means the games are brutal and exciting. In a nod to Squid Game, eliminated players must destroy a plaster model of themselves before they leave, as a symbolic death. Be sure not to miss Season 2 when it arrives.
