Physical: 100 is back and bigger than ever. The new season, titled Physical: Asia, will transform the show into an international showdown, pitting 48 contestants from eight different countries against each other in a battle of national pride.
The lineup of team leaders for the eight nations is stacked with legendary athletes. Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will lead Team Philippines, while former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker will head up Team Australia. They’re joined by Korean UFC legend Kim Dong Hyun and Japanese UFC veteran Yushin Okami.
Other leaders include Muay Thai world champion Superbon Singha Mawynn (Thailand), Turkish oil wrestling champion Recep Kara, Mongolian traditional wrestler Orkhonbayar Bayarsaikhan, and imposing Indonesian bodybuilder Igetss Executor.
The host nation’s “Avengers” team, led by Kim Dong Hyun, will feature returning fan-favorite Amotti, Olympic skeleton gold medalist Yun Sung Bin, Korean wrestling champion Kim Min Jae, wrestler Jang Eun Sil and CrossFit’s undisputed “Asia No. 1” Choi Seung Yeon.
“The essence of the series lies in its intense competition, transcending sports categories and ages,” said producer Jang Ho Gi. “With the added pride of representing their countries, it will deliver even more powerful competition and profound excitement.”
Physical: Asia is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix this October.
