The highly anticipated return of Apple TV+’s popular comedy series Shrinking, starring the legendary duo of Jason Segel and Harrison Ford, is scheduled for Season 2.
In Shrinking, Segel plays therapist Jimmy Laird, who is mourning the loss of his wife. Because of this, he unintentionally alters his patients’ lives by providing them with alternative forms of care, like sharing his candid opinions about life. We will cover all there is to know about the release date of Shrinking Season 2 in this article!
Shrinking Season 2 Release Date
Apple TV+ revealed in March 2023 that Shrinking had been renewed for a second season and the episodes are in production. Co-created by Jason Segel, Bill Lawrence, and Brett Goldstein, the series won over both reviewers and viewers with an 87% audience score and a 91% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Actress Jessica Williams, who plays Gaby in the series, said on Instagram that filming for the second season of the show will start “in the new year.”
“Back to work with a ‘Shrinking’ Panel with the best cast! Can’t wait to shoot Season 2 in the new year!” If the production follows the same timeline as the first season, which would mean that filming already started in January 2024, it might conclude around May of that same year.

As there was a five-month pause between the production wrap and the first season’s release, Season 2 of Shrinking might air in October 2024.
Shrinking Season 2 Cast
The actors who are anticipated to return for Shrinking Season 2 are listed below:
- Jason Segal – Jimmy Laird
- Harrison Ford – Paul
- Jessica Williams – Gaby
- Lukita Maxwell – Alice
- Luke Tennie – Sean
- Michael Urie – Brian
- Christa Miller – Liz

Shrinking Season Expected Storyline
The conclusion of Season 1 had several unexpected events that set up Season 2’s plot. When Grace threw Donny off a cliff, Season 1 ended with a significant fatality. Jimmy’s advice to stand up for herself and not put up with her husband’s abuse is what makes Grace snap at Donny.
In conclusion, will Jimmy be held accountable for Grace’s deeds? It is yet to be determined. Given that moving on makes sense after grief, Season 2’s theme might be moving on. This is in addition to the consequences that the characters’ choices from Season 1 will have during the second season of the show.
Lawrence acknowledged that they have a three-season “framework” for Shrinking in the same interview with Collider, stating that the show has a “beginning, middle, and end” in mind.
Given that Season 2 picks up in the middle of the cast’s journey, some storylines—like Jimmy and Alice’s ongoing discussion about repairing their father-daughter bond, Gaby’s developing feelings for Jimmy, and Paul’s tumultuous relationship with his daughter—will likely be juggled when the show returns.
Keep your streaming queue ready for action as you await the release of both Taxi Driver Season 3 and Alice in Borderland Season 3, promising to deliver more thrills and suspense than ever before.
