by

Summary

  • Season 2 of The Rehearsal tackles real-life controversy of airplane crashes with humor.
  • Fielder’s unpredictable humor raises questions about the line between satire and sensitivity.
  • Fielder’s unique approach to comedy may allow him to navigate serious topics like plane crashes.

Max has unveiled the sneak peek for Season 2 of “The Rehearsal“, a series where Nathan Fielder meticulously rehearses various situations to cover all potential outcomes. Last season, we witnessed Fielder dealing with real-world challenges like parenthood and awkward interactions; however, it appears that this new season will find him diving into the contentious issue of airline crashes in real life.

The initial season of “The Rehearsal” was a comedy, and it looks like Season 2 will continue that trend. However, the trailer for the new season reveals that Fielder has started creating role-playing scenarios related to a recent tragic event that’s been happening more frequently. It’ll be interesting to see how he turns this sad news into something comedic. Will he succeed? Should he even try? Only time will tell, but we can expect that at least one of those questions will have an affirmative answer.

Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal Season 2 Releases on April 20th

In the trailer, it’s clear that Fielder is striving for authentic solutions regarding plane crashes in America, with an official release date set for April 20th. The video begins with him discussing a past proposal to a Washington D.C. politician, pertaining to role-playing exercises aimed at reducing air accidents. Remarkably, Fielder boasts significant expertise in conducting complex simulations.

In a Nathan Fielder production, it can be challenging to distinguish between genuine actions and scripted ones because much of his humor lies in capturing the foibles of individuals who appear ordinary but get caught up in Fielder’s eccentric plans and playful pranks. Consequently, viewers may find themselves unsure whether they’re about to witness cinéma vérité next season as part of an investigation into the flaws within the Federal Aviation Administration or simply an exaggerated skit.

Example: In Season 1, Episode 1 titled “Orange Juice No Pulp”, there’s a rollercoaster of laughter as we follow an awkward bar trivia player attempting to make a tough confession to his teammates. Throughout the episode, it’s revealed that this trivia player has been deceiving his intellectually superior team about his academic background. To help him practice, Fielder guides him to rehearse his confession with an actress who mimics one of his crew members, a quick-talking, nervous type. At one point during the rehearsal, he abruptly stops her chatter to admit, “I’ve been faking my education credentials.

It’s sudden, it’s cleverly written, and it’s stress-relieving. It’s hard to tell if it was preplanned, much like the trivia hack’s drink order at the bar: “orange juice, no pulp.” Clever!)

Nathan Fielder Takes On Commercial Airline Crashes

Since the year 2025 up until now, as I write this, there have been at least 109 fatal plane crashes in the U.S., occurring in 22 separate incidents. Fox4News’ timeline has documented these events, with one of the most tragic being the collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and a commercial aircraft over Washington D.C. in January, which resulted in the loss of all 67 lives on board.

How does this unfortunate incident catch the attention of Nathan Fielder in his witty perspective? So far, Saturday Night Live hasn’t delved into this sensitive topic, despite its reputation for being quite irreverent with the news. However, the recent spate of plane crashes has not entirely escaped satire. Even South Park has released a new season trailer that seems to mock America’s plane crash problem, much like The Rehearsal does.

In contrast to South Park, The Rehearsal started being made much earlier, prior to the devastating American Airlines incident in January 2025. While it’s not proven that Fielder foresaw the worst U.S. commercial plane crash since 2009, it’s clear that South Park’s quick-witted approach was a reaction to this same disaster. It seems Fielder may have sensed an increasing number of air traffic accidents in the preceding year, even before they gained widespread attention.

Should Nathan Fielder Joke About Plane Crashes?

Earlier mentioned, Nathan Fielder had been developing the plane crash storyline before the most devastating news broke out in early 2025. This means that even with such a sensitive topic, Fielder continues to be one of the few comedians who can approach it with skill and detachment, making it neither offensive nor distasteful. Fielder’s audience may remember his TV series, “Nathan For You,” where he helped struggling businesses like the controversial “Dumb Starbucks” which was a humorous take on a coffee shop.

As a movie buff, I once stumbled upon an episode of “Nathan For You” where Nathan suggested a funeral home operator could boost her clientele by selling additional ‘friends’ for funerals. It’s a heavy topic, but watching what seemed like a genuine attempt to better someone’s life left me laughing… right in the face of mortality.

Fielder is a genuine satirist who often aims his criticism at those who exploit others, finding amusement in their reactions to the absurd situations he creates. Whether this style will work well in The Rehearsal Season 2 remains to be seen, but it’s certain that it will receive careful thought.
