Nathan Fielder returns to television to explore the lengths one person will go to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. Fielder stars as the director of rehearsals, which are elaborately staged scenarios re-creating parts of ordinary people's lives that are meant to help them prepare for a big moment in their lives. A construction crew, a legion of actors and seemingly unlimited resources all come together to allow ordinary people to rehearse for these moments by giving them the opportunity to play them out in carefully crafted simulations of Fielder's own design.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Rehearsal gives Nathan Fielder carte blanche to take his absurdist comedy to the limit, which he pushes even further past with deadpan aplomb in what might be his most uncomfortably funny feat yet.

“The Rehearsal” is almost a redo for Fielder, a show in which he can play with similarly absurdist ideas but only with people who have signed extensive consent forms and have been told exactly what they’re getting into. But the ethics still feel muddy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jack C. @jackcooper333 Mar 21 I the think its very creative and innovative I love it See more aditya k @AdiKh Feb 19 I was very unsettled watching it, but I couldn't stop watching it. It's experimental to the degree you don't know what's real See more Rhett A. @rhettavery Oct 14 Boring. Too precious. Very slow. Weirdly off putting. Not my cup of tea. See more Alain E @AlainE Sep 29 Too “smart” for its own good. The result is kind of boring. See more JoParkerBear P @JoParkerBear Sep 28 The show is completely insane, and I mean that as a compliment. See more CJ R. @CJ13_ Jul 29 Very weird and not that entertaining to me.
