Shrinking season 3 is set to premiere on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, with a one‑hour first episode dropping globally at 12:00 a.m. PT on Apple TV+. In simple terms, that means:

After that supersized opener, new episodes roll out once a week on Wednesdays, running through April 8, 2026, for an 11‑episode season basically enough time to get attached all over again and then complain that it ended too soon.
Apple TV (@AppleTV), shared on Instagram that The Shrinking Family is set to return with a new season on Apple TV+ starting January 28.
Where to Watch Shrinking Season 3?
Shrinking season 3 will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, just like the first two seasons. There’s no cable channel hop, no surprise move to another platform if an account is already set up from earlier seasons or other shows, season 3 simply appears in the same place on January 28.
For new viewers, that means:
-
A valid Apple TV+ subscription (free trial or paid) is needed.
-
Episodes can be watched via the Apple TV app on phones, tablets, smart TVs, consoles, or web browsers.
Some people like to wait a few weeks and then binge three or four episodes at once; others treat Wednesday like a mini therapy session. Either way, it all runs through the same platform.
Shrinking Season 3 Trailer
Yes, there is an official Shrinking season 3 trailer, and it leans hard into the mix of heart and chaos the show does so well, while introducing a few very big new faces. The trailer shows Jimmy trying to move forward emotionally, Paul wrestling more directly with his Parkinson’s diagnosis, and the office itself feeling like a strange mix of actual therapy practice and slightly unhinged family reunion.
The big headline moment is the arrival of Michael J. Fox in a guest role, trading perfectly timed lines with Harrison Ford in a way that hits both funny and oddly moving at the same time. There are also quick flashes of new dynamics, some awkward dates, and the usual “was that really appropriate to say to a patient?” jokes that have become part of the show’s signature. It feels like the same world, just with the emotional stakes dialed up a notch.
Shrinking Season 3 Cast
Shrinking season 3 brings back the core cast while adding some serious star power in the guest lineup. The main returning players include:
-
Jason Segel as Jimmy, the therapist still trying to fix others while patching himself up.
-
Harrison Ford as Paul, whose grumpy charm and vulnerability have quietly become the backbone of the show.
-
Jessica Williams as Gaby.
-
Christa Miller as Liz.
-
Luke Tennie as Sean.
-
Michael Urie as Brian.
-
Lukita Maxwell as Alice.
-
Ted McGinley returns in his role.
Season 3 also adds Michael J. Fox and Jeff Daniels in notable guest roles, plus appearances from Brett Goldstein, Damon Wayans Jr., Wendie Malick, and Cobie Smulders. It’s the kind of lineup that makes the show feel less like a quiet streaming comedy and more like one of those “everyone you recognize happened to wander into the same therapist’s office” events which, honestly, fits Shrinking perfectly.
