Harrison Ford’s Apple TV Series Officially Expands Season 4 Cast

Three recurring roles added

Deadline reported that Burnside, Bell and Weyrich will join Shrinking’s Season 4 cast. They will appear alongside newcomers Christian Slater, Karen Gillan and Judith Light in recurring roles connected to the offices of Jimmy Laird and Dr. Paul Rhoades.

The characters they will play have not been disclosed. The new additions are expected to feature in the storyline planned by co-creators Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel and Brett Goldstein. The account of the cast also names Segel, Ford, Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley.

New chapter after Season 3

Shrinking premiered in 2023 and follows Jimmy, played by Segel, a therapist coping with his wife’s death. He breaks with conventional professional boundaries and tells patients what he really thinks, setting off changes in their lives and his own.

Season 3 concluded Jimmy’s arc around grief and moving forward. Lawrence has described Season 4 as the start of a new chapter for the group. It will follow a time jump, but details of the story remain unclear; the series could have more seasons, depending on reception, the streamer and the creators’ decisions.

The newcomers’ previous work

Burnside has worked frequently with Ryan Murphy, including on FX’s Pose, and appeared in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and American Horror Story. Bell’s credits include 22 Jump Street, SuperMansion and Workaholics; she also made her feature directorial debut with Summer of 69 last year. Weyrich’s credits include Good Fortune, the Keanu Reeves angel movie, and Mack & Rita, a comedy led by Diane Keaton.
