Apple TV+ confirms fate of hit comedy series starring A-list actor | The Sun

APPLE TV+ fans are thrilled as the new hit comedy-drama Shrinking has been renewed for a second series.

The series stars Harrison Ford, Jason Segel, Jessica Williams and Luke Tennie.



The TV show follows a grieving therapist 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.

Harrison Ford stars as Dr. Paul Rhoades, Jimmy's supervisor at the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Center, who has Parkinson’s disease, and Jessica Williams stars as Gaby, another co-worker and friend of Jimmy's.

Season one instantly won the hearts of its fans for its ability to strike a balance between comedic and touching with many pointing to its influences from the Ted Lasso creative team.

"We can't wait for viewers to experience what the cast and creative team have for season two."

Another wrote: "Last night I started watching shrinking (apple tv) and I had very low expectations but in the end it's really good! I have 2 episodes left and a season 2 has been announced I can't wait!"

A third penned: "Finishing #Shrinking on @AppleTV. All the feels. Good show! Can’t wait until season 2."

The first season concluded with a very literal cliffhanger as the season's finale saw Heidi Gardner's Grace, who has been in therapy with Jimmy, push her abusive boyfriend off a cliff while on a hike.

This means there is likely to be a sizable fallout to deal with in season 2 when it does arrive.

Jason Segel and Harrison Ford agreed to do a three season arc on the show.

Alongside them, other stars likely to return include Lukita Maxwell, Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie and Heidi Gardner. 

As well as the returning cast, there will also be a chance to meet some major new characters.

Shrinking season one is available to stream now on Apple TV+.
