Shrinking is already renewed for Season 3, but could there be another season on the horizon?

Season 2 of the Jason Segel and Harrison Ford just wrapped up this week.

In the series, a grieving therapist starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people’s lives … including his own.

Now, the show’s creator is speaking out about what’s next.

Keep reading to find out more…

While the show was conceived as a story that consists of three parts, and Season 4 has not been confirmed, co-creator Bill Lawrence is open to extending the story.

“The first year of this show was about grief and the second year is about forgiveness, and then the third year is about moving forward. The bummer of that is that everybody was like, ‘Oh, so the show is over after three years?...

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Shrinking” Season 2, Episode 12.

You’re crying, we’re not. Fine, we are crying, because “Shrinking” Season 2 has officially come to an end — and boy, was that one emotional ending.

What’s an episode of “Shrinking” without tears and lots of laughs? In the Season 2 finale episode “The Last Thanksgiving,” Gaby (Jessica Williams) gathered the entire crew together for a Thanksgiving feast she enlisted Sean (Luke Tennie) to prepare. But before that, Jimmy helped out Summer (Rachel Stubington) after she tried to steal Plan B from a pharmacy to prevent a possible pregnancy with Connor (Gavin Lewis), Derrick #2 (Damon Wayans Jr.) broke it off with Gaby and Sean spent the holiday with family — including his father.

Even though Paul (Harrison Ford) claimed he was being held “under duress” by his friends and family, he finally admitted his innermost true feelings about his supportive village. Plus,...

Spoiler Alert: This piece contains spoilers for the first two episodes of Shrinking.

Brett Goldstein has shed the beard and prickly personality of one Roy Kent from Ted Lasso for a very different character in Season 2 of Apple TV+’s Shrinking, which he co-created with Bill Lawrence and star Jason Segel.

Goldstein is a very important addition to the cast in the second installment of the therapy comedy show because his character is key to the plot.

For all the details about who Brett Goldstein plays in Shrinking Season 2, read on.

Episode 1 – “Jimmying”

As mentioned and alluded to in Season 1 of Shrinking from time to time, Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) lost his wife Tia (Lilan Bowden) in a car accident, and the first episode of the series picked up a bit after this had happened, when Jimmy was still reeling from grief.

At the end of the first episode of Season 2, Goldstein appears,...

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Shrinking season 2, episode 7, "Get in the Sea."

Shrinking season 2, episode 7, "Get in the Sea" upends the status quo when Jimmy (Jason Segel) sees Alice (Lukita Maxwell) with Louis (Brett Goldstein). Goldstein's Shrinking character is introduced at the beginning of the season when he is revealed to be the drunk driver involved in the car accident that killed Jimmy's wife and Alice's mother, Tia (Lilan Bowden). In Louis' first scene, he goes to see Jimmy to apologize to him, which leads to Jimmy angrily shouting at Louis to leave.

Since Louis' introduction, he has gradually met more Shrinking characters. Alice angrily confronts Louis at the coffee shop where he works and when Brian (Michael Urie) meets Louis and sees he is in pain, Brian quickly becomes friends with him. Brian helping Louis paves the way for Alice to talk to Louis again on better terms.

Note: The following story contains spoilers from “Shrinking” Season 2, Episode 3.

“Shrinking” star Lukita Maxwell opened up to TheWrap about how back-to-back lightning strikes delayed, but ultimately helped, her emotionally explosive scene with Brett Goldstein’s controversial character.

Grab your tissues because Season 2, Episode 3, titled “Psychological Something-ism” was quite the doozy, as it was the first time Maxwell’s character Alice confronts the drunk driver who was involved in her mother Tia’s (Lilan Bowden) fatal car accident. Goldstein joined the cast this season for that role, named Louis. In the scene, Alice walks into Louis’ place of work — a cafe — where she sits down and is pleasantly greeted and offered service.

However, after telling Louis that she’s the daughter of the woman he mistakenly killed and he tries to console her, Alice bursts into a fury-driven emotional breakdown and tells him to “shut up.” The scene ends with her...

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Shrinking season 2, episode 3.Shrinking season 2, episode 3, "Psychological Something-ism" proves to be challenging for Alice (Lukita Maxwell). She is still grieving the death of her mother, Tia (Lilan Bowden), which has become more complicated after the drunk driver, Louis (Brett Goldstein), involved in Tia's accident resurfaced. Louis was introduced to Shrinking's cast of characters as he went to see Jimmy (Jason Segel) at work and apologized for what he had done.

Jimmy later told Alice about Louis coming to see him. She seemed to take this better than her father did, compared to Jimmy losing control and angrily screaming during Louis' unexpected visit. The end of episode 2 proved that Alice was more shaken than she let Jimmy realize, as she drove to Louis' house and parked outside for hours, clearly fixated on Louis and unsure of what to do with the pain he had reignited.

Sometimes, it can be very difficult to decide whether to watch a serious drama, or a laugh-out-loud comedy. Fortunately, there are plenty of TV shows nowadays that provide a thoroughly entertaining blend of both of these genres. Of course, not every show that attempts to find the proper balance manages to do so effectively. Some programs end up just feeling like comedies with moments of drama randomly forced in, and others come off as serious shows that are merely being interrupted by unwanted jokes. After all, combining the two distinct elements is no easy feat.

Thankfully, certain gifted teams of creators are able to find just the right balance. While some may lean more toward the side of one or the other, these special TV shows successfully find ways to appeal to both fans of comedy and of drama. From murderers being funny to comedians being serious, blending comedy and...

Get ready for more hilarity, heart, and brilliance in Shrinking Season 2. Created by Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel, and Brett Goldstein, the Apple TV+ tragicomedy drama continues the story of widowed therapist Jimmy Laird and all the people around him as they continue to try to be happy while life throws one after another curve balls in their way.

Shrinking Season 2 is as hilarious and heart-warming as you remember from its first season and in my experience, this time around you will enjoy it more because of the familiarity we have developed with these characters and this world. While some jokes are a bit too corny, the rest of the series completely makes up for them by being an immensely entertaining piece of television. (Read Full Review…)

Before her role as Jimmys daughter Alice in Shrinking, Maxwell had starred in a few other projects, like the HBO Max series Generation and Blumhouse Productions horror film Afraid.

“Beneath the Grass,” a drama about the criminal justice system and marijuana incarceration rates, will hit the market at the Cannes Film Festival next week.

Mía Maestro, Quincy Isaiah and Jeff Kober will lead the film, which begins production next month in New Jersey. Paradigm is representing worldwide sales for the film.

“Beneath the Grass” is set in 2008, capturing both the economic recession and the “Yes We Can” summer, and follows a single Latina mother whose illegal marijuana business is jeopardized when her young son befriends the new neighbors, a young white boy and his police officer grandfather.

According to production research, in 2008, Latino people were four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people, while Black people were seven times more likely. Despite marijuana legalization in several states in the years since, the research explains, arrest rates have risen with racial disparities still prevalent.
