Co-creator and executive producer Bill Lawrence said: “I’m so lucky to work on ‘Shrinking’ with actors, writers and a crew so talented that they all elevate the material.

“I’m even luckier that they are people I’d want to spend time with anyway. Huge thanks to Apple TV+ and Warner Bros. for the amazing partnership and support. So grateful we get to keep making this show. Onward!”

The series follows grieving therapist Jimmy played by Jason Segel, who played Marshall Erikson in How I Met Your Mother who decides to tell his clients exactly what’s on his mind – with hilarious consequences.

Hollywood actor Harrison Ford, who was once Hans Solo and Dr Indiana Jones – but in Shrinking he plays the part of Dr. Paul Rhoades, a senior therapist and colleague of Jimmy’s who has Parkinson’s Disease.

Fans had been wondering if series two would stand solo, but now it’s been confirmed it will be renewed by Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+.

“It has been wonderful to watch audiences around the world fall in love with the memorable characters and rich world that Bill, Brett and Jason have created in ‘Shrinking,”.

“We are incredibly excited for viewers to see where life takes Jimmy, Paul, Liz, Gabby, Alice, Sean, Brian and Derek next as they continue on their moving, heartwarming and very funny journey in season three.”

Critics and fans are raving about Shrinking. According one review on Rotten Tomatoes, “the show features a winning cast and has a solid comedy rate, with well pitched character driven drama, which is more than a worthy follow up to Ted Lasso and a real delight in and of itself.”

Another said: “When it comes down to it, what makes Shrinking special is its unique characters and their complex but heartfelt relationships with one another.”

The first season received two nominations at the 75th Emmie Awards, with Segel winning Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and Jessica Williams winning supporting actress the gong.

Emmy Award nominees Christa Miller and Jessica Williams also join the all-star cast.

They are joined by Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley.
