Jason Segel and Harrison Ford headline the comedy-drama series Shrinking, which follows grieving therapist Jimmy Laird as he abandons traditional boundaries to deeply engage with his patients’ lives. Created by Segel alongside Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, the show explores the profound impacts of these unorthodox interventions on both his clients and himself.
The storyline centers on a therapist who defies professional guidelines by sharing unfiltered opinions with his patients. This shift leads to dramatic transformations in their worlds—and his own. The ensemble cast features Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, Christa Miller, and Ted McGinley. Season three introduces fresh faces including Jeff Daniels and Michael J. Fox.
