Let's get physical — Physical season 3. The '80s-era dramedy returns to Apple TV Plus for its final workout. Rose Byrne is at the top of her game as Sheila Rubin, the housewife turned fitness guru. She's come a long way since her dull days of domesticity, but a new rival could bring down the empire she's worked hard to build.

Physical season 3

Physical season 3 premieres with two episodes Wednesday, Aug. 2 at 12:01 a.m. ET / 9:01 p.m. PT (Tuesday) on Apple TV Plus.

Sheila has finally left behind her unsatisfying marriage to Danny (Rory Scovel) and battled the dark voices in her mind that shamed her for years. She's found inner confidence and strength as a teacher and entrepreneur with Body by Sheila, with the help of friend and business partner Greta (Deirdre Friel). 

But now, Sheila finds her status challenged by rising celebrity exercise goddess Kelly Kilmartin (new cast member Zooey Deschanel). This new rival isn't just a professional threat, but manages to get into Sheila's head, which could undermine her hard-earned peace. 

Here's what you need to watch Physical season 3 on Apple TV Plus. Plus, check out the trailer:
