“I’m so lucky to work on ‘Shrinking’ with actors, writers, and a crew so talented that they all elevate the material,” said co-creator and executive producer Bill Lawrence. “I’m even luckier that they are people I’d want to spend time with anyway. Huge thanks to Apple TV+ and Warner Bros. for the amazing partnership and support. So grateful we get to keep making this show. Onward!”

“It has been wonderful to watch audiences around the world fall in love with the memorable characters and rich world that Bill, Brett, and Jason have created in ‘Shrinking,’” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We are incredibly excited for viewers to see where life takes Jimmy, Paul, Liz, Gabby, Alice, Sean, Brian, and Derek next as they continue on their moving, heartwarming, and very funny journey in season three.”

Starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in one of his first television roles, Shrinking follows grieving therapist Jimmy (played by Segel), who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people’s lives … including his own.

In addition to Segel and Ford, Shrinking stars Emmy Award nominee Christa Miller, Emmy Award nominee Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, and Ted McGinley. Season two also features a guest star appearance by Brett Goldstein.

Shrinking marks the third partnership for Apple, Lawrence, and Warner Bros. Television, alongside the multi-Emmy Award-winning, global phenomenon Ted Lasso and the new comedy series Bad Monkey. The series also marks the second collaboration for Apple TV+ and Segel, following his starring role in the Apple Original Film The Sky Is Everywhere.
