The third season of Shrinking will debut on Apple TV tomorrow, but the acclaimed comedy series, which stars Jason Segel and Harrison Ford, has already been renewed for season 4.
All About Shrinking Season 3
Shrinking follows a grieving therapist (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, the series also stars Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, and Ted McGinley. The new season will bring back guest stars Brett Goldstein, Damon Wayans Jr., Wendie Malick, and Cobie Smulders, but there are some pretty major new additions.
Jeff Daniels will play the father of Segel’s character in a recurring role, and none other than Michael J. Fox will also appear. The trailer showed Fox’s character meeting Ford’s in a clinic as they seek treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
Last year, Ford praised Fox’s work on the new season. “His willingness to be part of our show is a great source of inspiration and gives us a real purpose. It’s not just us coming together, two actors,” he said. “There’s a story to tell, and our commitment to the story is what joins us together. I appreciate his willingness to be a part of the show.“
Ford added, “When we were together, it was an accomplishment of all of us trying to meet all the ambitions, both obvious and attendant, to the ideas we’re trying to deal with. I’ve done what I could to acquaint myself with the aspects of the disease that I’m portraying, and I’m at a much different stage of the disease.“
We Love Shrinking
Our own Alex Maidy has been a big fan of Shrinking since the beginning, and the third season is no exception. “There are very few series that fire on all cylinders as consistently as Shrinking does both in front of the camera and behind the scenes,” Maidy wrote. “Shrinking delivers another outstanding season of storytelling that left me feeling a whole range of emotions, and I loved every minute of it.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
