Netflix’s ‘Physical: 100’ Evolves into ‘Physical: Asia,’ Welcoming Boxing Legend Manny Pacquiao
The hit survival reality competition show Physical: 100, which dominated Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV Series (Non-English) rankings for two years in a row, is back with a monumental twist. Now titled Physical: Asia and premiering in the fourth quarter of this year, the series scales up its quest for the ultimate physique beyond individual matchups — unleashing a full-blown national showdown where pride, survival, and teamwork collide.
From “100” to “Asia”
In previous seasons, 100 elite competitors fought to outlast each other in a grueling individual tournament. This time, Physical: Asia transforms the battleground into a high-stakes team competition featuring top-tier athletes representing their respective countries. If a single teammate falls, the entire squad is eliminated — raising the stakes and drama to unprecedented heights.

In a first for the franchise, living boxing legend Manny Pacquiao joins Physical: Asia as the Philippine representative. Pacquiao, revered worldwide as the only boxer in history to acquire titles in eight weight divisions, brings his formidable talent and indomitable spirit to this team-based clash of champions. His participation signals the show’s expanded ambition: a fierce face-off among Asia’s finest, with national pride on the line.
Bigger stage, higher stakes
Season after season, Physical: 100 has captivated viewers around the globe, blazing a trail as Netflix’s first Korean unscripted series to clinch the top spot on the Global Top 10 (Non-English) list. With the newly minted Physical: Asia, the spectacle grows even bigger. Competitors — regardless of age, gender, or weight class — will unite under their national flags for the toughest, most pulse-pounding missions yet.
Catch up on the first two seasons of Physical: 100, now streaming on Netflix. Stay tuned for more updates on Physical: Asia — the ultimate test of teamwork, endurance, and raw physical power.
