In the trailer for the final season of HBO’s How To with John Wilson, the eponymous host of the comedy documentary series preps his audience for a farewell.
Wilson is signing off after this third season, and the trailer is crafted as an ode to television itself. “Hey, New York,” Wilson begins in his typical greeting. He then goes on to describe what a rough day in the city looks like with the light at the end of the tunnel being TV. “TV will always be there for you,” he says. “On your proudest day. Or in your darkest hour. That glowing box will be there waiting for you.”
But Wilson also wants you to know that the solace will be short lived. “And when you make it all the way to that final episode, don’t be sad that it’s over, just be glad that you felt anything at all,...

“How To With John Wilson,” the quirky and oftentimes surprisingly poignant docu-comedy filmed on the streets of New York, is coming to an end with Season 3. It is releasing on HBO and Max (the streaming service formerly known at HBO Max) on July 28.
“As we started work on Season 3, I found it exciting to think of it as the last one. It ended up opening a lot of narrative possibilities that weren’t available to us before and gave us the freedom to try some really ambitious stuff,” said creator, documentarian and self-described “anxious New Yorker” John Wilson in a statement. “While a part of me would be happy to go on making ‘How To’ indefinitely, I take a lot of pride in trying to make the style and imagery feel surprising, and I would prefer to end the show while that’s still the case.

John Wilson’s hanging up his handheld camera. The creator and star of HBO’s acclaimed docu-comedy series “How To with John Wilson” is ending the show with its upcoming third season, set to premiere on July 28.
The 25-minute series, which originally premiered in October 2020, is shot and narrated by Wilson, and compiled from candid footage taken in New York City as well as interviews. Each episode is framed as an instructional guide on a different activity — for example, Season 3 episodes include installments focusing on finding a public restroom, working out, and cleaning your ears — and uses the seemingly mundane topic to approach larger philosophical issues. The show’s first two seasons received critical acclaim, and the Season 2 finale nabbed an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Nonfiction Program.

HBO has ordered a Season 2 of Nathan Fielder’s “The Rehearsal.”
Per the official description: “The Rehearsal” explores the lengths one man will go to reduce the uncertainties of everyday life. With a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources, Fielder allows ordinary people to prepare for life’s biggest moments by “rehearsing” them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design. When a single misstep could shatter your entire world, why leave life to chance?
“Nathan has sparked such a lively conversation with ‘The Rehearsal.’ We have no idea where Season 2 will take us, and that is the delight of this boundary-pushing show from a truly singular talent,” said HBO’s executive vice president of programming, Amy Gravitt.

Nathan Fielder will be staging some more real-life interactions.
HBO has renewed his quirky comedy series The Rehearsal for a second season ahead of the season one finale, which airs tonight (August 19).
The show is somewhat hard to describe; Fielder allows ordinary people to prepare for life’s biggest moments by “rehearsing” them in carefully crafted simulations of his own design with the use of a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources.
The first episode, for instance, helped a trivia-obsessed man confess to a friend on his trivia team that he didn’t have a master’s degree and built an entire New York bar to help him prepare for the reveal. Then there was Angela, an aromatherapy-loving Christian massage therapist who wanted to have a baby.

The often absurdist and surprisingly moving series follows filmmaker John Wilson as he asks ordinary people on the streets of New York for advice on topics such as “how to make small talk” and “how to cook the perfect risotto,” with each conversation going off on unexpected tangents.
