Apple’s Shrinking, which stars Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in one of his first television roles, follows grieving therapist Jimmy (played by Segel), who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks.

Season two also features a guest star appearance by Brett Goldstein.
Cocreated by Jason Segel, Bill Lawrence, and Brett Goldstein, Shrinking is produced for Apple TV+ by Warner Bros. Television. Lawrence, Segel, Goldstein, Neil Goldman, James Ponsoldt, Jeff Ingold, Liza Katzer, Randall Winston, Annie Mebane, Rachna Fruchbom, and Brian Gallivan all serve as executive producers.
The Paley Center will screen the penultimate episode ahead of its December 18 premiere on Apple TV+, followed by a conversation with the cast and creative team including Bill Lawrence, Writer & Executive Producer; Brett Goldstein, Writer & Executive Producer (Louis); Jason Segel (Jimmy) Writer & Executive Producer; Jessica Williams (Gaby); Luke Tennie (Sean); Christa Miller (Liz); Lukita Maxwell (Alice); and Ted McGinley (Derek).
