A refreshing story approach
Co-created by the talented Jason Segel, Bill Lawrence, and Brett Goldstein, “Shrinking” dives into the life of a grieving therapist, Jimmy (portrayed by Segel).

This unconventional method shakes up his life and the lives of those around him, leading to profound and often tumultuous changes.

The series flaunts a remarkable cast, with Jason Segel leading the lineup. Notably, Harrison Ford makes one of his first significant forays into television, playing the character Paul. Christa Miller (Liz), Jessica Williams (Gaby), Luke Tennie (Sean), Michael Urie (Brian), Lukita Maxwell (Alice), and Ted McGinley (Derek) round out the ensemble cast, delivering multifaceted and deeply engaging performances. Brett Goldstein also brings an added charm with a guest appearance in the second season.
