Shrinking’s ensemble includes Jessica Williams as Gaby, Luke Tennie as Sean, Michael Urie as Brian, Lukita Maxwell as Alice, Christa Miller as Liz, Ted McGinley as Derek, and Harrison Ford as Paul Rhoades. One notable addition to the season 2 cast is Shrinking co-creator and Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein, who will appear in a guest role.

Shrinking is created by Segel, Goldstein, and Bill Lawrence. The 10-episode first season premiered in January 2023 on Apple TV+. The series received positive reviews and critical acclaim, with Segel and Williams scoring Emmy nominations for lead actor and supporting actress, respectively.

“At its best, the series is able to do what all great TV dramedies should, which is smoothly shift between moments of comfort, heartbreak, and humor all within the span of a few seconds,” Alex Welch of Digital Trends wrote in his review of Shrinking season 1. “The fact that it’s able to do so is not only a testament to the strength of Shrinking’s creative team, but also the collective talent of its undeniably impressive, lovable cast.”
