Are you ready for your next Bill Lawrence comedy? From the creator of Spin City, Scrubs and Cougar Town and co-creator of hit hit Ted Lasso comes Shrinking, an all-new sitcom that finds humor in grief. The series premiered on Friday, January 27th and looks set to be another big hit for Apple TV Plus. (We know it’s only January, but we’re already calling it one of our favorite sitcoms of the year.)
In this Goggler exclusive, we got a chance to sit down with Jason Segel and ask him what the difference between Shrinking’s Jimmy and How I Met Your Mother’s Marshall was like working on a sitcom that deals with the saddest sides of life concerned.
shrinkage follows a grieving therapist as he begins to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what’s on their mind. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making big, turbulent changes in people’s lives… including his own. The new 10-episode comedy was written by an Emmy winner Teddy Lasso Co-Creator Bill Lawrence, Emmy Winner Teddy Lasso Star, writer and co-executive producer Brett Goldstein and Jason Segel.
shrinkage Stars Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, Luke Tennie and Lukita Maxwell.
