Shrinking Renewed for Season 4 on Apple TV+ Before Season 3 Premiere

Apple TV+ has officially renewed the critically acclaimed comedy series Shrinking for a fourth season, the company announced today just hours before the season 3 premiere. The early renewal comes as welcome news for fans of the show, which stars Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in leading roles.

Season 4 Confirmed Before Season 3 Even Airs

The announcement was made today, January 27, 2026, creating additional excitement ahead of tonight's special hour-long season 3 premiere. This early renewal demonstrates Apple's confidence in the series and its continued investment in the creative partnership with co-creator Bill Lawrence.

What to Expect from Season 4

While specific plot details for season 4 remain under wraps, Apple has confirmed that the entire ensemble cast will return. The series stars Emmy Award nominee Jason Segel alongside multi-award winner Harrison Ford, with supporting cast members Christa Miller, Emmy Award nominee Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Emmy Award nominee Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, and Ted McGinley all set to reprise their roles.

Co-creator Bill Lawrence had previously outlined a three-season arc for the series, describing season 1 as focused on grief, season 2 on forgiveness, and season 3 on moving forward. However, Lawrence had also hinted at the possibility of extending the show beyond its initial plan, a prospect that Apple TV+ has now made official.

Part of Apple's Growing Comedy Slate

Shrinking joins other Bill Lawrence comedies in Apple's lineup, with Ted Lasso season 4 also scheduled for release later this year and another season of Bad Monkey in development. This strategy positions Apple TV+ as a home for quality, character-driven comedies with strong ensemble casts.

The series has become one of Apple TV+'s most beloved shows since its debut, praised for its blend of humor and heart as it explores the personal and professional lives of therapists in Pasadena, California.

Streaming Details

Shrinking is available exclusively on Apple TV+, which costs $12.99 per month. The service is also available as part of the Apple One bundle, offering potential savings for subscribers who use multiple Apple services.

The season 3 premiere airs tonight, January 27, 2026, with the season 4 renewal announcement serving as an early Valentine's gift to the show's dedicated fanbase.
