On Tuesday, January 27, hours before Shrinking Season 3’s supersized premiere was set to stream, Apple TV announced a rare, incredibly early Season 4 renewal! Ahead of Season 3’s finale, co-creator Bill Lawrence teased Season 4 on X, writing, “Excited to start completely new story next year. Feels scary/risky/fun.” He also added, “We always pitched a three season story on #Shrinking, grief-forgiveness-moving forward. We wanted to stay true to that and end the way we planned.”
After “new story” sparked some confusion, the Shrinking showrunner explained, “I mean that if we came back Season 4 and Jimmy turned to Brian and said ‘I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m STILL really sad about my wife dying’ we’d stop watching along w everyone else. Time jump. New story. Same gang.”
Is Harrison Ford Leaving Shrinking?
Ahead of Shrinking‘s Season 3 finale, viewers couldn’t help but wonder: Is Harrison Ford leaving Shrinking?! Why? Decider went deep on fan fears and shared our thoughts on Ford’s Shrinking future, but the worries stemmed from the fact that Paul retired and moved to Connecticut in the penultimate episode. If you worried that Shrinking would move forward without Ford, fear not! Lawrence assured everyone that “Same gang” means the “Same EXACT cast next year.”
“He is not leaving the show,” Shrinking‘s co-creator stressed. “He’s not going anywhere. Not an accident that Alice goes to college in Connecticut.” The fact that Alice is going to college at Wesleyan University in Connecticut provides tons of bi-costal potential for the series. So fear not, Ford will return, and we can’t wait to see what the team has in store.
