HBO's The Rehearsal Returns April 20; Sharon Horgan Signs Deal for HBO Comedy Series

The critically acclaimed HBO Original comedy series The Rehearsal, from Nathan Fielder, returns for its six-episode second season Sunday, April 20 on HBO following and the airing of The Righteous Gemstones. Episodes will be available on Max Sundays beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET.

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.

HBO has signed a two-year first-look television deal with BAFTA-winning and Emmy®-nominated actor, writer, and producer Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters, Catastrophe) and her multi award-winning production company Merman, which began this month. HBO has also given a straight-to-series order for a new original comedy series, the first project under this deal, from Horgan and produced by Merman, with Horgan serving as writer, star, and executive producer. This comedy series from Sharon Horgan follows a 50-year-old divorcee’s search for sex and love whilst juggling caring for her ailing parents and parenting her should-be grown up son.
