Put on your neon leggings, because it's time for Physical season 3. The Apple TV Plus series starring Rose Byrne is back for its final time, as the new season serves as the last for the dark comedy.

Created by Annie Weisman, Physical takes us back to the 1980s, where a struggling housewife, Sheila, finds an outlet that allows her to find an unlikely source of power: aerobic exercising. We've seen Sheila get out of her unsatisfying marriage, get involved with dangerous people and confront her own demons on her way to creating an exercise empire. So what lies in store for her?

Here is everything that you need to know about Physical season 3.

Physical season 3 plot

Here is the official synopsis for Physical season 3:
