10 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled
7. Physical
One of the most underappreciated gems in Apple TV+'s growing cachet of quality shows is Physical - a 1980s-set black comedy starring Rose Byrne as a housewife who finds self-discovery through the power of... aerobics.
The first season was broadly well-received though didn't set the world on fire, perhaps due to its caustic array of characters, but the show's second season aired to considerably stronger acclaim, with many feeling that it had now found its feet.
Shortly after the season aired Apple renewed Physical for season three, though recently announced that the third season would also be its last, effectively cancelling it.
Ultimately Apple sensibly made showrunner Annie Weisman aware of this during pre-production of season three, ensuring the third and final volume was written with a concrete ending in mind.
As such, though it's a shame Physical didn't get to go the distance, at least Weisman was given enough time and creative runway to wind the show down with a (hopefully) satisfying finale.
