    Each six-person squad is anchored by a national superstar who embodies the competitive spirit of their homeland:

    The series blends elite athleticism with cultural tradition, spotlighting disciplines from combat sports and ball games to track and field — alongside heritage events like Korean ssireum, Mongolian wrestling, Turkish oil wrestling, and Muay Thai. Physical: Asia is more than a clash of athletes; it’s a showcase of heritage, pride, and physical mastery on an unprecedented global stage.

    Following acclaimed spin-offs in the U.S. and Italy, this new chapter transforms the fight for individual survival into a national team showdown. Producer Jang Ho-gi noted: “At its heart, the Physical series is about raw competition that transcends disciplines and generations. By bringing national pride into the equation, the battles will be more intense, more emotional, and more unforgettable than ever.”

    The Electric State Trailer Unveils a Robotic Universe on Netflix

    Imagine an alternate 1990s where humanity has clashed with sentient robots—think cartoonish mascots and branded machines gone rogue—and emerged victorious, only to retreat into a virtual haze of their own making. That’s the world of The Electric State, Netflix’s latest big-budget sci-fi flick directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the duo behind Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. The movie is said to be one of the priciest films ever made for streaming, boasting a star-studded cast led by Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt.

    The story follows Michelle (Brown), a tough-as-nails orphaned teen who’s lost her family to a war between humans and robots. One night, a mysterious, toy-like robot named Cosmo shows up, hinting that her long-presumed-dead brother, Christopher, might still be alive. With Cosmo in tow, Michelle hits the road across a retro-futuristic American Southwest littered with rusting robotic relics. Along the way, she teams up with Keats (Pratt), a cocky smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). Their mission? Unravel a conspiracy tied to a tech mogul, Ethan Skate (Stanley Tucci), whose Neurocaster technology—a VR headset that lets humans upload their minds into drones—has left society hooked and hollow.

    The Electric State is now streaming on Netflix.
