Get ready for one of the wildest, most adrenaline-fuelled reality shows of the year — Netflix’s latest reality competition, Physical: Asia. It’s bold. It’s intense. And it’s a feast for fans of athletic showdowns, team rivalries, and “who can survive the heat”-style drama.

Intense and Heart-racing Competition
Physical: Asia takes the thrilling concept of Netflix’s hit series Physical: 100 to a whole new level. Instead of solo competitors, this time teams from different nations go head-to-head in a high-stakes battle for pride and glory.
Each team must endure grueling challenges that test their strength, stamina, agility, teamwork, and strategy — all set within gigantic, specially built arenas. The set itself is a spectacle, stretching across an area equivalent to five football fields, constructed with over 1,200 tons of sand and 40 tons of steel.
The champions will take home an incredible ₩1 billion (around USD 700,000) cash prize for their country.
