Netflix has announced an Italian adaptation of its popular competition series, titled Physical 100 Italy. The show will feature 100 contestants from various backgrounds, including notable figures such as Mirco Bergamasco, Tania Cagnotto, Elisabetta Canalis, Jury Chechi, Federica Pellegrini, Alvise Rigo, and Luis Sal. The series will be available exclusively on Netflix.
Our review of Physical 100 Season 2 praised the series, saying, “Physical 100 Season 2 is just as addicting as its first season… It’s all a bit more polished, but despite that, the series continues to have us at the edge of our seats as these competitors brawl and deplete every energy reserve they have to win it all.”
