Nathan Fielder’s groundbreaking docu-comedy is back, giving people the opportunity to test run some of life’s biggest moments. But will all go to plan this time out? Or will the filmmaker’s personal odyssey once again take over. Keep reading as we explain how to watch The Rehearsal season 2 online from anywhere in the world.

The Rehearsal sees the comedian and documentary maker on a quest to help with those choices in life when we just can’t decide the best course of action. By constructing minutely detailed mock locations and calling on a legion of actors, Fielder is able to give a bunch of ordinary folks the chance to rehearse some of life's biggest decisions.
Season 1 of the show started with this premise, but as anyone who has seen the equally sublime Nathan For You will know, the mission Fielder starts with isn’t always the journey he ends up on, and soon the show became less about rehearsals than the filmmaker grappling with his own life choices and his desires for the future. Season 2 promises to stay more on track, but don’t be surprised if we end up with a similar outcome this time round.
Either way, Fielder’s particular brand of awkward, deadpan and often bizarre humour is always a joy to watch, and when he does head off on those tangents, they usually pack quite the emotional punch. So read on for how to watch The Rehearsal season 2 online, on TV and from anywhere.
