The Rehearsal Season 2 is officially announced. HBO's bizarre docu-comedy returns in 2025. Fans can’t wait to see what twisted experiments Fielder has cooked up this time.
In case you missed it, the first season was a mix of heart, hilarity, and existential dread. Nathan helped ordinary folks rehearse life’s trickiest moments using sets and actors.
After its 2022 debut, The Rehearsal quickly became a hit for its hilarious, thought-provoking exploration of morality and reality.
Season 2 has been in the works and the release date has been tightly kept under wraps. But, there is a recent sizzle.
So, here’s everything we know about The Rehearsal Season 2.
The Rehearsal Season 2 release details
Finally, after some speculation, HBO has confirmed that The Rehearsal Season 2 will premiere sometime in 2025. While we don’t have an exact date yet, we’re one step closer to returning to Nathan’s world.
Fans also spotted clues earlier when musician Alex Jules shared photos from a season 2 wrap party. It included snaps with Nathan and producer Eric Notarnicola. While the photos don’t reveal much, they hint that production has wrapped, and we’re inching closer to the new release.
The Rehearsal Season 2 cast
Nathan Fielder is, of course, back as the mastermind behind The Rehearsal. Beyond that, much of the cast remains a mystery.
Given the semi-scripted nature of the show, it’s safe to assume we’ll meet new unsuspecting participants alongside some familiar faces.
Season 1 introduced unforgettable characters like Kor Skeete, Angela, and even Remy (Nathan’s fake son). Angela might continue her co-parenting journey or we might meet entirely new personalities. The door is wide open for surprises.

Plot of The Rehearsal Season 2
Season 1 took us on a rollercoaster ride. There was a simple trivia confession rehearsal to a meta, layered exploration of acting, belief, and morality. The finale saw Nathan lose himself in his own rehearsal. That led to the realization that, “life’s better with surprises.”
For season 2, the poster teases Nathan in a bedroom with a woman behind him. There’s also the tagline:
“One more chance to get it right.”
If last season’s “rehearsal inside a rehearsal inside a rehearsal” was any indication, Nathan may loosen his control even further this time. It might be a chase of something more genuine.
Nathan’s methods push the boundaries of comedy. It raises questions about morality, control, and the human experience.
Season 1 left audiences debating whether Nathan’s experiments crossed ethical lines or were simply genius satire. Season 2 is likely to keep that conversation alive.
Nathan is keeping quiet about specifics. He mostly dodges questions about the show’s inspirations. In an interview with Vulture, he shared:
“It’s hard to know where ideas come from or why you feel something at a certain time. I did go through a divorce.”
The comment about going through a divorce hints that the series might hit closer to home than we realize.
