Apple TV has confirmed the return of its Emmy-nominated comedy Shrinking for a third season. The new season premieres globally on January 28, 2026.
The hit show, starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford, continues to charm audiences with its mix of humor and emotion. Season 3 opens with a one-hour premiere, followed by weekly episodes every Wednesday until April 8. The 11-episode season promises more laughter, heartfelt moments, and new directions for its beloved characters.
Fresh Faces Join the Ensemble
The upcoming season adds major guest stars Jeff Daniels and Michael J. Fox. Their arrival brings new energy to the already strong cast, which includes Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, and Ted McGinley. Co-creator Brett Goldstein and other familiar faces will also make appearances.
The story follows Segel’s character, a grieving therapist who breaks professional boundaries by telling his clients exactly what he thinks. His unfiltered honesty creates chaos — but also sparks transformation in both his life and theirs.
Behind the Scenes: The ‘Lasso’ Connection
Shrinking comes from Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Jason Segel — the same creative team behind Apple’s hit series Ted Lasso. It marks another collaboration between Apple, Lawrence’s Doozer Productions, and Warner Bros. Television.
The renewal reflects Apple’s continued investment in high-quality, story-driven originals. Since its launch in 2019, Apple TV+ has earned over 630 wins and nearly 2,850 nominations. Hits like Ted Lasso and CODA have cemented Apple’s place in modern streaming entertainment.
