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.
The Rehearsal — Season 2

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.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The second season of [Nathan Fielder's] mix of absurdist humour and documentary simulation remains jaw-dropping but difficult to quantify... Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR As always with Fielder, it's tough to know what is real and what is contrived in his shows... Still, if his thesis is right, it seems like there should be more people trying to solve this problem than one brilliant satirist working for HBO. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine When he turns the camera on himself, Fielder is always both funny and fascinating. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked When I say the news season brings together Nathan Fielder and aviation safety, that’s either going to be extremely appealing to you, or something you never want to glimpse even by accident. Rated: A- Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) Given recent air travel tragedies and near-tragedies, plus the cuts to the TSA, the prescience in the topic chosen for this season makes it even more nuts. Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Meghan O'Keefe Decider The Rehearsal Season 2 is sure to spark many of the giggles that Season 1 became known for. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
