Physical: 100 is a new South Korean reality competition series on Netflix. The series follows 100 contestants of peak physical physique from around the globe as they compete in physically-taxing challenges to advance to the next round. The goal is simple: Be the last person standing.

Physical: 100’s cast is diverse, featuring 100 individuals “regardless of age, gender, and race,” but every contestant is in prime physical condition. From athletes to farmers to YouTubers, the contestants’ eclectic backgrounds inform their strategies.

The best part? Whoever wins Physical: 100 receives a grand prize.

Every grueling physical competition deserves a hefty cash prize, but not all reality series think so. Take Fox’s new Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, for example. The show follows 16 celebrities competing in exhausting mental and physical challenges emulating hard-core special forces training. However, there is no prize at the end — just bragging rights.
