HBO's The Rehearsal Premieres July 15; IFC Series Sherman's Showcase Returns in Fall
The HBO Original six-episode comedy series, The Rehearsal, from Nathan Fielder, debuts Friday, July 15 on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Nathan Fielder (Nathan For You, HBO's How To with John Wilson) returns to television for a new series that explores the lengths one man will go to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. With a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources, Fielder allows ordinary people to prepare for life's biggest moments by "rehearsing" them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design. When a single misstep could shatter your entire world, why leave life to chance?
IFC today released a first-look from the upcoming second season of Emmy(R)-winning variety series Sherman's Showcase, premiering on IFC this fall. In addition, in celebration of Juneteenth, IFC ran an 8-episode marathon on Sunday, June 19, including the one-hour special "Black History Month Spectacular" at 9:30am ET. The witty, irreverent and wholly original Sherman's Showcase features sketches, dancers, fake commercials, movie trailers, cultural nostalgia, the funkmonster, A-list guest stars and original songs (Drop it Low for Jesus, Marina Del Ray) that definitely climbed the fictional charts. Each episode of the series is hosted by Sherman McDaniels as he takes viewers through time, via music and comedy drawn from the 40-year library of a legendary (but fictional) musical variety show.
Sherman's Showcase, which first season is rated 100% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, is created by Bashir Salahuddin (Top Gun: Maverick, South Side) and Diallo Riddle (Marlon, South Side), who also star and executive produce. Emmy(R)-, GRAMMY(R)-, Oscar(R)- and Tony(R)-winner John Legend, Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorious serve as executive producers through their Get Lifted Film Co. (La La Land, Underground, Jesus Christ Superstar). Pete Aronson serves as executive producer, and Frank Scherma and Jim Bouvet of RadicalMedia also executive produce. AMC Studios Content Distribution is managing worldwide sales of the show.
