What happened in The Rehearsal Season 1?
The Rehearsal Season 1 followed the popular comedian and actor Nathan Fielder prepping people for high-stakes real-life moments by rehearsing them in a fake scenario with professional actors. From helping a Brooklyn trivia aficionado to come clean about his education degree to helping a woman raise a child by creating a hyper-realistic situation and eventually stepping up as co-parent, Nathan does it all! Dark, comedic, yet philosophically haunting, the series delves into how the pursuit of real-life perfection and control of the situation often leads to utter chaos.
