Nathan Fielder is back and ready for more rehearsals – though as you should know by now, The Rehearsal is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

With the promise of a plane crash, this season finds itself centred around the aviation industry, with Nathan in the drivers’ seat for his next round of bonkers trials.

The season has proven one not to miss for comedy fans, with the series landing a 97% approval rating on aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes following its release.

As The Guardian said in their review: “The Rehearsal is frequently plane-crash TV – but my oh my, does it stick the landing.”

Here’s what you need to know about the second season of the show and how it played out.

All episodes of The Rehearsal are now available on Sky Comedy and NOW.

Sky is the exclusive home of The Rehearsal in the UK, so it is only available on our services.

You can also watch the series on demand via Sky Go or by streaming on NOW.

The Rehearsal season two is six, half-hour episodes long, and this time Nathan is taking on the aviation industry.

After Nathan discovers black box transcripts from an airliner where a fatal crash occurred after a first officer was too scared to call out the captain in his errors, he seeks more information with a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.

With the idea of rehearsals as a training measure to prevent such accidents again, Nathan sets out to improve air safety with the help of simulations, alongside a pilot who is willing to test his assertiveness – that is, until Nathan recruits his girlfriend to play the captain.

In his latest bid to improve first officer assertiveness, Nathan uses his past as a junior producer on Canadian Idol to create a fake singing show Wings of Voice, with the pilots testing their directness by rejecting those auditioning.

In a twist, the contestants get to also judge the judges for their likability – with one coming out on top, which inspires Nathan to face his own lack of assertiveness in the past.

As he continues his efforts to be more sincere, he tries to inspire some of the auditionees.

Nathan helps a couple who aren’t happy with the results of their cloned dog, staging a rehearsal to train the dogs the way the original behaved.

Inspired by the rehearsal, Nathan decides to replicate Sully Sullenberger, reliving part of the heroic pilot’s life based on parts of his memoir.

As part of his research, he discovers pilots avoid seeking mental health diagnoses in fear of losing their licenses, so he implements some of Sully’s coping mechanisms.

In a bid to improve interpersonal relationships between pilots, Nathan seeks to help a first officer who struggles with romance.

Soon the pilot is heading out on a date with one of the actors in the rehearsal – but Nathan has his hand in it, involving an intimacy coordinator and stress-testing the romance with actors in multiple scenarios.

When their relationship struggles, Nathan steps in with a scripted date night that results in a kiss, but will he pick up on the signal and go through with it?

Nathan makes a bid to get a meeting with Congressman Steve Cohen, an autism advocate and member of the Aviation subcommittee, in the hope to present the findings of his experiments to Congress. Naturally, this involves a rehearsal first.

Attempting to position himself as a ‘thought leader’ in the autistic field, he finds himself trying to bat off the suggestion that he may be autistic himself.

However, when he makes it to Congressman Cohen’s office without a rehearsal in place, will he manage to convince him that acting through scenarios will encourage first pilots to speak up in potentially disastrous scenarios?

Nathan decides to spend two years getting a commercial pilot’s licence, training in a Boeing 737 simulator. He then recruits a cabin of actors to simulate a scheduled airline flight – because he can’t technically fly passengers.

Discovering pilots having to disclose any mental health conditions, Nathan undergoes a brain scan to detect any potential anxiety and autism – but in fear that he might not be able to do his flight, he claims to not have either before finding out the result.

In his efforts to shed light on issues with communication between pilots, Nathan heads to the cockpit with his first officer and heads to Nevada.
