Apple TV+ announced on March 9th that the hit comedy series Shrinking will be returning for a second season.

This decision leads to significant changes in everyone’s lives, including his own.
The returning cast includes Harrison Ford as Dr. Paul Rhoades, Jimmy’s supervisor at the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center, who has Parkinson’s disease. Jessica Williams stars as Gaby, another co-worker and friend of Jimmy’s, while Christa Miller plays Jimmy’s neighbor, Liz, and Lukita Maxwell appears as his daughter, Alice. Michael Urie plays Brian, an old friend, and Luke Tennie stars as Sean, a client who Jimmy takes under his wing. Heidi Gardner and Ted McGinley also played recurring characters in the first season.

Segel himself praised the creative team behind the show, stating, “You have people who are the best at what they do. I’m a huge Bill Lawrence fan, and Brett Goldstein I think is a genius, so to join forces I felt really lucky.”
Ford, who plays Dr. Rhoades, also spoke highly of his experience working on the show. “It’s really fun,” he said. “The people I’m working with are fantastic.”
