'Physical: Asia' athletes go through 'absolute hell' in first look teaser

The athletes of "Physical: Asia" are pushed to their limits in the first look teaser released by Netflix on Friday.

The teaser shares brief glimpses of the contestants undergoing physical challenges in the game, shouting in pain and exhaustion.

One athlete calls it a "nightmare," while another says, "It's enough to drive anyone crazy."

"This game is absolute hell," adds another contestant.

On Facebook, Netflix says, "It's time to see who's really built different across the continent."

"Physical: Asia" is the newest season of the "Physical: 100" franchise, which originated from South Korea. While the original reality show featured 100 competitors fighting to outlast each other in a grueling individual tournament, the upcoming season will be a team competition featuring top-tier athletes representing their respective countries.

Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao leads Team Philippines, composed of Fil-Am national team sambo athlete Mark "Mugen" Striegl, strongman Ray Jefferson Querubin, national team rugby player Justin Coveney, national team hurdler Robyn Lauren Brown, and crossfit athlete Lara Liwanag.

"Physical: Asia" is set to premiere in October. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
