- TriviaIn a 2022 interview, Nathan Fielder revealed that the series was inspired by two episodes of his previous show, "Nathan for You," specifically "Smokers Allowed" and "Finding Frances." In the former, Nathan hires actors to re-create an entire night at an average California bar word-for-word in the guise of putting on a stage play. In the latter, Nathan has Bill Gates impersonator Bill Heath engage in a role playing exercise where he assumes the part of his own ex-girlfriend and experiences their breakup from her perspective, leading him to realize he was responsible for the dissolution of the relationship. The same episode also found Fielder beginning dating a sex worker he'd initially hired for a sketch on the show, only to discover that he enjoyed her company in spite of the transactional nature of their relationship, ultimately blurring the line between reality and fantasy when she began watching the show herself.

Featured review
I've long been a fan of Nathan Fielder (from both Nathan For You and from How To With John Wilson), so one night, I popped The Rehearsal on and could not believe what I was seeing.
So, I stopped watching and decided to watch it with some friends and family. And, predictably, they fell in love with the show. You may not love the Rehearsal (at first), you may find it quirky and odd, but you will be unable to look away. This is easily one of the most unique and innovative shows I have ever seen. Fielder is an absolute master and just when you think you know where the season is going, it takes so many different turns.
By the end, The Rehearsal goes from a fun social experiment to a profound, contemplative, and deeply human experience. It's a show that questions identity, relationships, our attempts at controlling the world...yeah, just watch it. It's amazing.
