Netflix's survival competition show "Physical: 100" has become a can't-miss show for fans of series like "Survivor," "American Ninja Warrior," and the often-compared "Squid Game." The streaming giant's original series brings together 100 super-powered people, including national bodybuilders, bodybuilders, MMA fighters, special forces soldiers, and fitness influencers, to take on various challenges to see who has the "most perfect physique. "As of February 21 During the nine engrossing episodes available for streaming, fitness-obsessed men and women were eliminated until only one contestant was left holding 300 million won (approximately US$245,000).

While the series first gained traction for its squid-game-esque aesthetic and the celebrities among its stellar cast, "Physical: 100" (open in new tab) also went viral for the great sportsmanship and camaraderie among the cast. While the intense challenge pushed the athletes' bodies to their limits, their fellow contestants respected and cheered for each other's abilities. Even the totally non-sporty (and guilty) viewer is drawn into the good vibe, always in awe of all that the athletes' bodies can accomplish.

Fans are already clamoring for a second season of this new hit series, and luckily the production team seems to be on board. Read everything we know about the possibility of a "Physical: 100" Season 2.

"There are many different physiques in the world. The quest for the perfect physique continues."
