HBO Confirms That Its Best TV Show Is Officially Coming Back in 2025

As a devoted fan of HBO, I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly await the return of Nathan Fielder’s extraordinary docu-comedy series, “The Rehearsal”. Having binged through every episode of Season 1, I found myself captivated by its unique blend of reality and fiction, empathy and absurdity. The show’s intricate portrayal of everyday life challenges, as rehearsed to perfection, left me both entertained and thought-provoked.


Over two years have passed since one of HBO’s top-rated shows first aired and was swiftly renewed for another season, but fans won’t have to wait much longer for new episodes. HBO officially confirmed that Nathan Fielder’s docu-comedy series The Rehearsal will be back with Season 2 in 2025. A specific air date has yet to be disclosed, but the announcement of its return next year was made in a promo reel that aired before the finale of The Penguin on Sunday night and is now available online as well. The video also provided updates for several other HBO series, such as The White Lotus Season 3, The Righteous Gemstones Season 4, and Peacemaker Season 2. You can catch up on all the details in the video below.

Titled, scripted, and performed by Nathan Fielder, the show titled “The Rehearsal” presents Fielder assisting individuals in simulating complex conversations or life events by constructing realistic sets and employing actors to reenact the situations. The sets and storylines are meticulously designed, incorporating various dialogue options or conversation paths to foresee every potential outcome and adapt accordingly for each variable. This concept was partly derived from Fielder’s previous series, “Nathan for You“, where he and his team would enact scenarios as part of the preparation process. Essentially, “The Rehearsal” amplifies this idea to a significantly larger scale, yielding intriguing results.

Despite garnering significant critical acclaim and being hailed by some as one of the top series of 2022, The Rehearsal wasn’t without its share of controversy. Some viewers felt it was exploitative and at times cruel, with others raising ethical concerns, going so far as to question whether it genuinely embodied satire as some critics claimed. In announcing Season 2 of The Rehearsal, HBO’s Amy Gravitt acknowledged the “lively debate” surrounding the series.

In 2022, Gravitt stated that Nathan’s discussion on ‘The Rehearsal’ stirred up quite a dynamic dialogue. We can’t predict where Season 2 will lead, and that’s what makes this innovative series from an exceptional artist so intriguing.

What Will Season 2 of The Rehearsal Be About?

Regarding the plot of The Rehearsa‘s second season, it remains a mystery to many. A poster announcing the show’s renewal for Season 2, released in 2022, depicted Fielder on a bedroom set with a woman seated behind him. The tagline “one more chance to get it right” suggested that the story may continue from where it left off in the first season, focusing particularly on Angela’s journey towards motherhood and her co-parent Nathan. However, things didn’t go as planned in this experiment.

Season 1 of The Rehearsal is streaming on Max. Season 2 is set to arrive sometime in 2025.
