Netflix’s Most Gripping Korean Reality Plans to Go Even Bigger With Season 3

Summary:

• Physical: 100 is a South Korean reality competition that has been airing on Netflix since 2023.
• The show has been widely praised for its realism and inspiring competitions, which stands out from other series in the genre.
• As the season 2 finale hinted, the show will not only return for another season, but it will also include competitors from all over Asia.

There are two types of people who find themselves in front of the television watching yet another reality show. The first group will believe everything they see and really feel for all the contestants, rooting for their favorites. The more skeptical, on the other hand, will watch episode after episode just for the fun of it, certain that everything is fake and scripted.

Whether you prefer to turn a blind eye to some obvious inconsistencies or prefer to point out everything you see, a show that's actually realistic will be a breath of fresh air for everyone involved. Physical: 100 is a perfect option if you missed it for some reason.

What Physical 100 Is About?

The point of the Korean reality show is to showcase all the wonders of the human body and find the athletes with the highest level of endurance. When we say someone is "in shape," we usually refer to their muscle mass and appearance, but Physical: 100 proves there is much more to it.

From purely physical traits like actual strength, balance, agility, and endurance, to mental traits like willpower and strategy, the show is set up as a tournament, pitting all 100 contestants against each other to find a winner. The strongest one gets the big cash prize of ₩300 million, which is about $220 thousand.

Considering the scale of production, the show has often been compared to Squid Game, but it has managed to stay away from any major controversies, mainly because it features well-trained athletes. So, Physical: 100 is safe to watch without fearing for someone's life.

Will There Be Physical 100 Season 3?

So far, Netflix has not updated viewers on the possibility of Season 3. However, the show's finale hinted at a very exciting return. One of the most obvious signs is, of course, the voiceover at the end of the 9th episode: "Our search for the perfect physique... will continue".

But that's not all. The final frame revealed something no one expected: Physical: 100's logo with the additional word "Asia" written over it.

While this doesn't confirm anything, fans believe that this was the production team's way of teasing the show into expanding its geography to include not only Korean athletes, but those from the entire continent.

Of course, such a development would open up a whole world of possibilities and make the show's casting even more competitive, bringing only the strongest athletes to our screens. If you are excited to see what the 3rd season of Physical: 100 could look like, keep an eye out for more updates!
