NEW ON TV, APRIL 20-26

April 20 – The Rehearsal

The second season of The Rehearsal changes the tone of the series completely to focus its six episodes on how to prevent plane crashes by improving communication between airline pilots. Fans of the series might be surprised to know the only pieces of Season 1 that made it onto the new season are the fake bar as part of an LA soundstage and a reference to the new policy on not rehearsing with kids.

The Rehearsal Season 2 premieres Sunday, April 20 at 10:30/9:30c on HBO.
