Netflix’s Italian edition of Physical: 100 has officially arrived, with the first three episodes available to stream from today, Friday, 11 September. Titled Physical Italia: da 100 a 1, the new series brings 100 contestants into a huge physical competition where strength, agility and endurance are put to the test. Unlike a full-season binge release, Netflix is rolling the eight episodes out across four Fridays, with the final arriving in early October.

What Is the Physical 100: Italy Episode Schedule?

The first three episodes of Physical 100: Italy are available now, with the remaining five episodes arriving in smaller batches over the next three weeks.

Episodes 1–3 — Friday, 11 September
Episodes 4–5 — Friday, 18 September
Episodes 6–7 — Friday, 25 September
Episode 8 / Final — Friday, 2 October

That means viewers will get three episodes for the premiere, followed by two episodes each on 18 and 25 September before the final episode drops on 2 October.

How Many Episodes Are in Physical 100: Italy?

Physical 100: Italy has eight episodes in total. The series follows 100 contestants as they take on a series of physical challenges designed to test strength, agility and mental resilience.

Netflix says more than 1,000 people were contacted during the casting process, with 187 Zoom auditions and 137 in-person callbacks held before the final 100 were selected.

When Is the Physical 100: Italy Final?

The Physical 100: Italy final will be released on Netflix on Friday, 2 October.

The final episode will complete the four-week rollout and reveal which competitor makes it through the competition to become the last one standing.

Elisabetta Canalis, former rugby player and TV personality Alvise Rigo and content creator Luis Sal are also among the 100 competitors. The wider cast includes athletes from disciplines including triathlon, wrestling, American football, skeleton, Hyrox and Calcio Storico Fiorentino.

What Is Physical 100: Italy About?

The competition brings 100 contestants together inside the Lingotto arena, where previous achievements and reputations count for very little once the challenges begin. Olympic champions, athletes, celebrities and creators all compete through a series of demanding physical trials until only one person remains.

The Italian series joins the wider Physical: 100 franchise, with other international editions including Physical: Asia and announced versions for Mexico, Sweden and the USA.

Episodes 1–3 of Physical 100: Italy are streaming now on Netflix.
