About ‘How to with John Wilson’

A lot has changed since Season 1 was filmed. In a unique journey of self-discovery and an observational quest focused on today’s culture, the documentary filmmaker, self-described “anxious New Yorker,” and anti-influencer John Wilson comments on everyday life in New York City and how the people that inhabit it deal with a pandemic.

This new season will have short 25-minute “how to” episodes that will provide everyday advice on six new topics. It will be similar to Season 1, with unexpected turns and John’s refreshing honesty. Each episode will be titled something simple like “How to make small talk” but will have a largely deeper meaning as it is explained in an intriguing, magical way.

The show is executive-produced by Wilson along with Nathan Fielder (Nathan for You), Michael Koman, and Clark Reinking.

How To with John Wilson

October 23, 2020

In a uniquely hilarious odyssey of self-discovery and cultural observation, documentary filmmaker and self-described “anxious New Yorker” John Wilson covertly and obsessively films the lives of his fellow New Yorkers while attempting to give everyday advice on relatable topics. The awkward contradictions of modern life are eased by Wilson’s candid, unpolished commentary. Building upon Wilson’s previously released “how to” short films, each episode takes wildly unexpected turns but is grounded in John’s refreshing honesty.
