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

Never fear, Nathan Fielder is here to solve air travel safety and further his frustrated quest for human connection in a second Rehearsal that's just as audacious, cringey, and uproariously funny as the first.

Gideon Lewis-Kraus The New Yorker 06/02/2025
What the show ultimately stages is an unsentimental rejection of the entire edifice of authenticity, and the cult of identity it inspires. Go to Full Review Chris Bennion Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/29/2025
5/5
What makes this series an improvement on the first is that it is consistently and deliberately laugh-out-loud funny. Go to Full Review Lili Loofbourow Washington Post 05/28/2025
“The Rehearsal” develops into a sideways anthropological treatise on pilots, who turn out to be a reserved and lonely bunch. Go to Full Review Sarah Krasnostein The Saturday Paper Jul 16
Suggesting reality TV while evading it at every turn, this show was awkward, absurd and unexpectedly moving in its ever-expanding interrogations of the limitations and possibilities of performance. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Oct 8
The second six-part series of The Rehearsal delivers a fist bump of pure left-field genius. It’s the work of Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder, who I’m starting to suspect is the David Lynch of factual comedy. Go to Full Review Valentina Morillo Del Sofá a la Cocina Podcast (Spain) 09/01/2025
Me fascina que en una época en la que los “cómo se hizo”, “qué pensé” y “qué sentí” son campaña de promoción—, sepamos tan poco (o nada) sobre los mecanismos de producción de la propuesta más metatelevisiva que haya existido. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tammy D @RT56789042 Jul 30 Loved S2 of that show, would probably even say it has a solid argument as possibly Nathan Fielder's best season of any of his shows, but I'm not surprised that he's still underrated since his style is like an acquired taste of comedy. See more Jordan F. @RT84880039 Jul 24 Nathan fielder. Is a genius. And also maybe diagnosed with some other mental or behavioral health disorders. But that's okay because I love him and think you should too. See more Dustin S. @Dustin574 Apr 18 Nathan has made something sort of like profound comedy. I was entertained and laughed plenty, but at the same time recognized that this should literally be used to train pilots. See more Tom F @RT55173143 Mar 12 Nathan Fielder has crafted something weirdly special here. See more Brendan B. @pbbrown1112 Feb 14 Mind-bending nonstop laughs. Nathan Fielder is a genius.
