We chat with Physical showrunner Annie Weisman about the new struggles and old demons Sheila faces in season 2 of AppleTVPlus' dark comedy:
Apple TV+ has hit another home run when it comes to striking the balance between unflinching drama and dark comedy Physical season 2, which premiered today on the platform. When its first season arrived on the service, many viewers were divided about the stark reality of the material - which depicts an eating disorder in its leading lady - but ultimately recognized showrunner Annie Weisman's nuanced take on difficult conversations.
Annie Weisman: Sure. It's a great question. At the beginning of season 2, we see her starting to accomplish some of her goals. She's starting to have this video out there; she's starting to build this business as a fitness entrepreneur. But she has not addressed some of the core issues underneath her illness.
I love how much you delve into not only Sheila and her inner world, but also the parallel journeys with Bunny and Greta. As Sheila is riding the wave of success, Bunny starts off experiencing the loss of all the things that Sheila's taken from her. Can you talk about her journey this season, and how she's gonna dig herself out of that hole?
Sheila has a lot of vulnerabilities that we know of, because we have access to her and our thoughts, that if she creates an enemy, you know, they can really exploit those vulnerabilities. So we'll see that we'll see that happen this season. We'll see her start to be confronted by some of the sources of her trauma, and her relationship to her mother helps her understand how she might be visiting some of this damage on her own daughter as well. We'll see her start to connect some of those dots - and we will as well. Annie Weisman: Me too. It was just an absolute pleasure to get someone like Murray Bartlett to bring that character to life. He brings a lot of sparkle and joy to this season, and a lot of depth as well.
