Shrinking has booked its appointment time for season three.
The hit Apple TV series starring Jason Segel returns with a one-hour episode on Jan. 28, 2026 on Apple TV. The 11-episode season will then release new episodes weekly on Wednesdays, until the April 8 finale.
The streamer released a handful of first-look photos with the date announcement on Tuesday (see below).
Harrison Ford, Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley round out the star-studded cast. The comedy is created by Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein alongside Segel.
Shrinking follows Segel’s grieving therapist who started to break the rules by telling his clients exactly what he was thinking — ignoring his training and ethics. He found himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people’s lives — including his own — in the first two seasons.
The second season ended with Jimmy (Segel) saving the life of the man who killed his wife (Lilan Bowden) in a drunk driving accident, Brett Goldstein’s Louis. “This show wouldn’t have worked this year had Brett Goldstein … not felt completely authentic and hadn’t crushed you,” Lawrence told The Hollywood Reporter in a chat after the season two finale. “If the season’s about forgiveness, that the simple act of doing it can save you. It can save someone else.”
Guest stars Goldstein, along with Damon Wayans Jr., Wendie Malick and Cobie Smulders, as well as new additions Jeff Daniels and multi-award winner and activist Michael J. Fox, return and join the cast for season three.
The series is the third partnership for Apple, Lawrence and Warner Bros. Television, alongside Ted Lasso, and Bad Monkey; and the latest collaboration for Apple TV and Goldstein following All of You. Segel previously collaborated with Apple TV with The Sky is Everywhere.
Shrinking is produced for Apple TV by Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence and Goldstein are under overall deals, and Lawrence’s Doozer Productions. Lawrence, Segel, Goldstein, Neil Goldman, James Ponsoldt, Jeff Ingold, Liza Katzer, Randall Winston, Rachna Fruchbom, Brian Gallivan, Ashley Nicole Black and Bill Posley executive produce.
