‘The Rehearsal’ Might Be HBO’s Best Series in 2025

Similar to Nathan For You and The Curse, The Rehearsal by Fielder skillfully blends reality with fiction. The show’s unique dark humor can sometimes have an emotionally jarring impact. The first season of The Rehearsal began by assisting a man in confessing to his trivia team that he had been falsely claiming a Master’s degree for years, which seemed to be the introduction for the series.

In a surprising twist, this particular episode showcased the underlying theme of the series. Originally, Fielder had assisted a woman in preparing for motherhood, even pretending to be her baby’s father. But when she decided not to go through with it, the experiment took an unexpected turn. Fielder began to bond with the child actors portraying his kids, and one of them grew particularly close to him due to the youngster being unaware that they were acting. This darker direction delved into the problematic and potentially traumatic aspects of child acting, setting a challenging standard for the upcoming season.

Fielder has proven to be a key contributor for HBO and Max, with his notable works such as “The Rehearsal” and “How To with John Wilson”. The latter, which premiered on October 1, 2020, and ran until September 1, 2023, received universal acclaim, garnering a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was even nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Nonfiction Program at the 74th Primetime Emmys. Amidst HBO’s impressive 2025 series lineup that includes “The Last of Us” Season 2, “Knights of the Seven Kingdoms”, and “Peacemaker” Season 2, it’s remarkable that “The Rehearsal” might be the standout series set to debut on the service this year.
