Shrinking Has Plans To Keep Going After Season 3, And Its Co-Creator Explained Why They Feel ‘There’s Always More Story To Tell’

I really enjoyed watching ‘Shrinking’ in both 2023 and 2024, and now it has become one of my comfort shows. That’s why I’m genuinely excited for Season 3 of the series. To put it simply, I wouldn’t mind if this show continued for as long as possible. Fortunately, co-creator Bill Lawrence doesn’t seem to have any immediate plans to end the series. He even mentioned that there’s always room for more storylines.

Currently, it’s no longer shocking that Shrinking might extend past Season 3. This year, co-creator and lead actor Jason Segel expressed his surprise if the upcoming season was indeed the last. More recently, Lawrence, another key figure in the show, has shared his thoughts on this matter with THR, reiterating their original three-season plan.

In our narrative, we follow Jason’s character through his journey, marked by grief, forgiveness, and progression. Spanning across three seasons, this storyline encapsulates his personal growth.

Previously, it was mentioned that Jason Segel’s main character, Jimmy, had a pre-planned arc spanning over three seasons. But don’t assume this means the show is wrapping up. To the contrary, if their plans materialize, we might be even further away from the series finale.

As per Lawrence’s explanation, the process of shrinkage could persist indefinitely, given the following rationale:

If you want to know about the upcoming three seasons, I’d say they’re like therapists – even though you may have dealt with your biggest obstacle, there will still be emotional challenges ahead.

* Following the completion of season 3 for the Shrinking series, Harrison Ford delivered a heartfelt speech – and as expected, he playfully poked fun at Jason Segel.

* After wrapping up season 3 of Shrinking, Harrison Ford made an emotional speech, not forgetting to give his usual A+ jab aimed at Jason Segel.

I read Lawrence’s comments here in two ways.

In this show, the main characters – Jimmy, Alice, Paul, Gaby, Liz, Brian, Sean, and Derek – are constantly growing, facing new challenges, and adapting, much like real life. Therefore, the narrative never ends but continues to evolve.

Subsequently, as seasoned professionals, Jimmy, Gaby, and Paul are all therapists. With a wealth of emotionally charged and humorous anecdotes available from their line of work, it seems fitting for the show to extend beyond Season 3. In support of this idea, Bill Lawrence stated:

1) “Given that they’re professional therapists, there is an endless trove of emotional and comical stories waiting to be shared.”
2) “Naturally, with so much more to explore in the realm of therapy, it feels appropriate for the show to continue past Season 3.”
3) “With the wealth of experiences they have as therapists, there’s plenty of material left untouched for the show to delve into beyond Season 3.

By designing this universe, we ensure it delivers continually unfolding narratives right to their front steps, keeping tales ever-evolving. Furthermore, we’ve hidden various clues in the third series for viewers to anticipate future events.

Additionally, during the interview, he mentioned earlier that they aim to reach a point where they can produce the show using the same cast. Lawrence expressed optimism that everyone is willing for another round.

Although Apple TV+’s show “Shrinking” has been nominated for the Emmys in 2025 and is widely regarded as one of their best series, it hasn’t yet been renewed for a fourth season. However, given its widespread critical acclaim and the success of the team behind it, there’s a strong possibility that the show will be renewed. Furthermore, both Lawrence and Segel have expressed interest in making more episodes, so I’d be surprised if they weren’t given the opportunity to do so.

Exciting news for everyone! It seems there are plans to extend “Shrinking” with even more storylines, as the team behind it is eager to share more. However, our immediate focus should be on Season 3, which has already been completed. Fingers crossed, we’ll be able to stream it on Apple TV+ before long. After enjoying Season 3, let’s hope for another season (Season 4) to continue the therapy-themed journey.
