Rory Scovel Interview: Physical Season 2
Apple TV+'s dark dramedy Physical returned for season 2 last week, and its premiere episode saw protagonist Sheila (Rose Byrne) in a better place career-wise after having secured a distribution deal for her exercise tapes. Of course, that doesn't mean all is well in her world, as the series is known for tackling difficult material such as eating disorders and infidelity
Physical season 2 dives right into the middle of her marriage to Danny (Rory Scovel, I Feel Pretty), which is more on the rocks than ever thanks to the recent losses he's faced in his job and election. Not feeling like the man of the house causes him to lash out, and the stress of that dynamic combined with her new job certainly doesn't make things easier for Sheila.
