Apple TV+ today announced that Shrinking, starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford, has been renewed for a second season.

The cast also includes Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Lukita Maxwell, Michael Urie and Luke Tennie.

“We have loved the engaging, touching and hilarious world of Shrinking since the beginning, and it has been wonderful to watch as audiences around the world continue to connect with these big-hearted characters,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We can’t wait for viewers to experience what the cast and creative team have for season two.”

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.

Co-created by Emmy Award-winning “Ted Lasso” executive producer Bill Lawrence, Emmy Award-winning “Ted Lasso” star, writer and co-executive producer Brett Goldstein, and Segel, “Shrinking” is produced by Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence and Goldstein are under overall deals, and Lawrence’s Doozer Productions. Lawrence, Segel, Goldstein, Neil Goldman, James Ponsoldt, Randall Winston, Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer serve as executive producers. Lawrence, Segel and Goldstein wrote the first episode, which was directed by Ponsoldt.

  1. Harrison Ford and other aging septuagenarian and octogenarian actors like Silvestor Stallone (Tulsa King, The Expendables) are demonstrating that you can keep yourself employed and active in a high stress work environment for most of your life. I’m not sure it’s all about the money but kudos to them.

  2. I am loving this show. It takes sharp swings from comedy to drama in the space of a scene. Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams are particular standouts. It’s a bit heavier emotionally than Ted Lasso but the DNA of that and Scrubs is there for sure. Although all signs point to a darker S3 of Ted which I’m excited for too!
