Harrison Ford will be hitting the silver screen once more as his legacy character, Indiana Jones, in the yet-to-be-named Indiana Jones 5, but this January, he will also be making his television series debut (in addition toYellowstone spin-off, 1923) in a new comedy from Apple. Bill Lawrence, the creator of such sitcoms as Spin City, Scrubs, and the Emmy Award-winning Ted Lasso, also an Apple original, brings us a new comedy with Brett Goldstein called Shrinking, starring both Ford and Jason Segel of How I Met Your Mother. The teaser trailer for the show has just debuted online.
The official synopsis reads,
“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.”
Joining Ford and Segel on the cast will be Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, Luke Tennie, and Lukita Maxwell. Shrinking will be a ten-episode series written by Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Segel.
The series is produced by Warner Bros. television that has Lawrence under an overall deal. His production company, Doozer Productions, will be working in association with Warners, with Lawrence, Segel, Goldstein, Neil Goldman, James Ponsoldt, Randall Winston, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer, serving as executive producers. Lawrence, Segel, and Goldstein created the series and wrote the first episode, which was directed by Ponsoldt.
Shrinking is set to premiere globally on January 27, 2023 on Apple TV+.
