From Hollywood Legends To Comedic Brilliance: What's Next For 'Shrinking' Season 2

In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, Ted McGinley , known for his roles in iconic shows like Happy Days and Married with Children , delved into the highly anticipated second season of the Apple TV series " Shrinking ." McGinley, portraying Derek in the series, alongside co-creator Jason Segel and the legendary Harrison Ford , offered a glimpse into what audiences can expect from his character's journey in the upcoming season.

“Well, so we're right now [shooting] in the fifth show, and of course, I can't tell you anything, but [my character] Derek is going to have a little more to do. It's going to be fun… funny. There are a lot of crazy storylines, and I think it'll be compelling television. I will say going to work every day is just an absolute pleasure. I can't wait to go to the set. You don't get that every day on different shows, even though I'm really good at that. I will always find a reason to enjoy a job and a certain group of people within that space.”

"Shrinking" follows the story of a grieving therapist who decides to immerse himself deeply into the lives of his patients. McGinley expressed his admiration for the cast of "Shrinking" and particularly highlighted the experience of sharing screen time with Harrison Ford, renowned for his roles in Indiana Jones and Star Wars.

“I did have my first…I think I can say this… I had a scene with Harrison that was one-on-one, because our worlds don't really interact, so that 's going in my book.”

Penned by Emmy Award-winning creators Bill Lawrence (co-creator of Ted Lasso) and Brett Goldstein (also from Ted Lasso), along with Jason Segel, "Shrinking" stands as an Apple Original comedy series . Below is the official synopsis for the show.

“Shrinking follows a grieving therapist (played by Segel) who 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.”

Starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in pivotal roles, "Shrinking" also features a talented ensemble cast including Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, Tilky Jones, Luke Tennie, and Lukita Maxwell.

The first season of "Shrinking" garnered acclaim from critics and viewers alike, earning nominations at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Jason Segel) and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Jessica Williams).
