Zooey Deschanel Pushes Rose Byrne to Enjoy Life

The Big Picture

  • In the third episode of Physical, Sheila receives advice from Kelly to trade in her old car for a shiny convertible, highlighting her newfound fame.
  • Tension between Kelly and Sheila has been escalating since Kelly ventured into the world of aerobics.
  • The final season of Physical features familiar characters and marks Zooey Deschanel’s return to television after her role in New Girl.


As the third season of Physical unfolds, the dark comedy-drama led by Rose Byrne intensifies. In an exclusive clip provided by Collider, Sheila Rubin (played by Byrne) seeks guidance from her newfound frenemy and fellow TV star, Kelly Kilmartin (Zooey Deschanel). Sheila takes Kelly for a ride in her old station wagon, a remnant from her past with her ex-husband, Danny (Rory Scovel). Encouraging Sheila to embrace her celebrity status in the world of aerobics, Kelly urges her to trade in her old car for a sleek convertible.

In the third season of Physical, the tensions between Kelly and Sheila continue to rise ever since Kelly transitioned from sitcom stardom to the world of aerobics. Just as Sheila was beginning to overcome her struggles and move on from her divorce with Danny, Kelly disrupts her progress. Determined to outshine her rival on screen and off, Sheila is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it jeopardizes her healing process.

The final season of Physical sees the return of main characters such as Greta Hauser (Dierdre Friel), Sheila’s biggest fan and support system, as well as familiar faces like Paul Sparks as Sheila’s fling John Breem, Della Saba as aerobics instructor Bunny Kazam, Lou Taylor Pucci as Tyler, and Ian Gomez as Ernie Hauser. Zooey Deschanel’s appearance on Physical marks a significant milestone as it is her first television role since her acclaimed performance as Jess Day on New Girl. After receiving Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations, Deschanel took a break from TV and focused on film projects like Trolls World Tour and Dreamin’ Wild.
