Zooey Deschanel (The New Girl, 500 Days of Summer) has joined Rose Byrne in the upcoming third season of the hit Apple TV+ series Physical.
Deschanel will play a character named Kelly, “a network sitcom star who decides to enter the burgeoning fitness industry.” It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen Deschanel in any kind of new project, but this seems like it will be a great character for her to play.
The series is set in the “idyllic but fragile beach paradise of sunny 1980s San Diego, Physical follows Sheila Rubin (Byrne), a quietly tortured, seemingly dutiful housewife supporting her smart but controversial husband’s bid for state assembly. But behind closed doors, Sheila has her own darkly funny take on life she rarely lets the world see. She’s also battling a complex set of personal demons relating to her self-image… that is, until she finds release through the unlikeliest source: the world of aerobics.”
The second season of the season found Byrne “having successfully launched her first fitness video only to encounter some new and bigger obstacles on her path. She is torn between loyalty to her husband (Rory Scovel) and the values he represents, and a dangerous attraction to someone else. And since she’s no longer the only game in town, she finds herself having to outrun some fierce new competitors on the road to building a full-fledged fitness empire.”
