Apple TV has officially announced the release date for Season 3 of the acclaimed comedy-drama “Shrinking.” The new season premieres globally on January 28, 2026, kicking off with an extended one-hour episode followed by weekly installments through the spring.

The show, which stars Jason Segel and Harrison Ford, continues its blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling centered around therapy, grief, and personal growth. Returning cast members include Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, and Ted McGinley. Season 3 will also feature guest appearances from Jeff Daniels and Michael J. Fox, who joins the show in a storyline connected to Harrison Ford’s character, Paul Rhoades.

Production for the new season wrapped in mid-2025, and early reports indicate that the series will maintain its tone of emotional honesty while expanding its scope. Co-creators Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel, and Brett Goldstein have structured “Shrinking” as a three-season narrative exploring the stages of recovery and renewal after loss. The upcoming season is expected to serve as the emotional centerpiece of that arc.

Apple TV describes Season 3 as a chapter about change and acceptance. Jimmy (Segel) continues his unconventional approach to therapy, pushing both his patients and himself to confront uncomfortable truths. Meanwhile, the ensemble cast navigates new challenges in their personal and professional lives. With the addition of Daniels and Fox, the series aims to deepen its exploration of vulnerability, resilience, and humor in the face of life’s complications.

“Shrinking” has been one of Apple TV’s most consistently praised originals since its debut in 2023. The show earned recognition for its balance of comedy and emotion, along with standout performances from Segel and Ford. Critics have credited the series for its realistic portrayal of mental health care and for offering a compassionate, character-driven story that resonates with audiences.

Seasons 1 and 2 are currently available to stream exclusively on Apple TV. The third season arrives at a time when the platform is expanding its portfolio of award-winning series, positioning “Shrinking” as a key part of its 2026 lineup.
