The Rehearsal, the dark comedy series created by Nathan Fielder (The Curse), made a splash with critics and viewers on HBO back in 2022. The show focuses on a program that allows people to “rehearse” future difficult conversations and personal interactions. And Fielder is not only the star, but also the writer, director, and executive producer. What makes these rehearsals particularly hilarious is that they’re all done using actors and expensive sets. HBO renewed the series for a second season that same year. But it’s been a long, three-year wait for its arrival. Well, via Variety, we’ve learned that season two of The Rehearsal finally drops on HBO and Max on April 20. The network also released a brief teaser 35-second teaser trailer for the second season, which you can watch right here:
Here’s the official description from HBO and Max for season two of Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal:
The Rehearsal follows one man’s journey to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. With a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources, Fielder helps ordinary people prepare for life’s biggest moments by “rehearsing” them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design. In season two, the urgency of Fielder’s project grows as he decides to put his resources toward an issue that affects us all.
We have no idea what this “issue that affects us all” is. But we have a feeling it’s going to be something rather mundane that’s blown out of proportion. In season one, they recreated a bar and someone’s house for use in a rehearsal. We’ll see if they take it even further in season two. The six-episode second season of The Rehearsal premieres on Sunday, April 20 on HBO, immediately after a showing of The Righteous Gemstones. Episodes will be available on Max on Sundays beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET.
