Jason Segel to star in Apple TV+ Shrinking comedy from Ted Lasso's Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein

TVLine

Segel will play an unhinged therapist on the 10-episode series. Apple says 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.” Segel will co-write and executive produce Shrinking with Ted Lasso co-creator Lawrence and Ted Lasso star Goldstein. Segel, who last year created and starred in AMC limited series Dispatches from Elsewhere, is currently filming HBO's Showtime Lakers limited series, playing Shakespeare professor-turned-Lakers assistant coach Paul Westhead.
