On Tuesday, the network released first-look photos of the sophomore season, premiering globally on Friday, June 3 — and fans will be excited to see a new actor is joining the cast.
Murray Bartlett, who previously starred as Armond on HBO’sThe White Lotusand recentlywon a Critics Choice Award for his role, will be portraying Vincent “Vinnie” Green onPhysical.
Vinnie is described as “a charismatic fitness instructor, weight-loss guru, and pioneer of the late-night infomercial,” according to the network.
As shown in one of the photos, Vinnie is not afraid to show off his physicality and participates in an aerobics class with Sheila. Another photo sees Sheila in a striped blue blazer looking downwards, appearing to be seriously thinking about something as others look on.
Season 2 will pick up where season 1 ended after Sheila successfully launches her first fitness video. However, Sheila will soon face some obstacles, including being torn between her attraction to another person and remaining loyal to her husband (Rory Scovel) as well as competing with some other fitness gurus.

During a Television Critics Association virtual panel in February 2021, Byrne said, perThe Hollywood Reporter, thatPhysicalis “about paving that path for those wellness gurus and lifestyle gurus, which are now sort of a dime a dozen, but back then was groundbreaking.”
The star added of the show’s nostalgic costumes, “Those leotards are just within an inch of their life. It’s like a Marvel costume or something, the amount of fittings I’ve had.”
