29 May 2026 - The official trailer for Physical Italia - da 100 a 1 is out now. The first Italian edition of the unprecedented physical competition produced by Endemol Shine Italy will be available on Netflix from 11 September, every Friday.

Within the framework of Rimini Wellness 2026, Netflix has also unveiled all the release dates for the episodes of Physical Italia - da 100 a 1: the first three episodes will be available from Friday 11 September, episodes 4 and 5 from Friday 18 September, episodes 6 and 7 from Friday 25 September, and the final on Friday 2 October.

In this high-stakes competition series, 100 contestants face off in grueling physical trials designed to push their bodies and mental toughness to the limit. From Olympic champions to content creators, from rugby players to celebrities: in the Lingotto arena, all hierarchies are cast aside. Strength, agility and nerves of steel are the only weapons you need to survive. In the "Hall of Busts", past medals count for nothing; what matters is how much fire you carry inside. Because in the end, only one of them will take home the victory.

Among the 100 participants there are also familiar faces: former Italian national rugby player Mirco Bergamasco, multiple Olympic medalist Tania Cagnotto, kickboxing athlete and Italian showbiz icon Elisabetta Canalis, "lord of the rings" Jury Chechi, swimming legend Federica Pellegrini, former rugby player and TV personality Alvise Rigo and content creator Luis Sal.

The casting process was extensive: over 1,000 people were contacted, 187 Zoom auditions conducted (amounting to 130 hours), and 137 in-person callbacks held. Contestants range in age from 22 to 60. The selected profiles represent a wide array of disciplines - from triathlon to wrestling, from American football to skeleton, including Hyrox and Calcio Storico Fiorentino.

This project is directed by Alessio Pollacci. The editorial curator of the project is Roberta Briguglia, with Tommaso Marazza as project lead. The writing team includes Lorenzo Campagnari, Valerio Trapasso, Christian Monaco, Federica Riva, Antonio Moreno, and Barbara Strambi. The set design is by Marco Calzavara, with cinematography by Ivan Pierri. The executive producers are Luca Pennisi and Giampaolo Toselli.

Physical Italia: da 100 a 1 joins the franchise's line-up, alongside the recent announcements of Physical: Asia, Physical 100: Mexico, Physical 100: Sweden and Physical: 100 USA.
