Apple TV’s beloved comedy “Shrinking” is set to make its return next week with the highly anticipated third season, and early reviews suggest it’s another triumph for the series. The new season premieres on Wednesday, January 28, with a special hour-long episode, followed by weekly releases through April 8.
Created by Bill Lawrence, who co-created the hit “Ted Lasso,” “Shrinking” has gained a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim in its first two seasons. Critics are already praising the third season, echoing sentiments that reflect its emotional depth and humor. RogerEbert.com describes “Shrinking” as a much-needed comfort in turbulent times, emphasizing the importance of love and connection. JoBlo notes the show’s ability to evoke a range of emotions, delivering an outstanding season that keeps viewers engaged. Collider points out that if this season serves as the show’s conclusion, it does so in a meaningful and impactful way.
The prospect of a fourth season remains a topic of speculation. Critics who screened all 11 episodes of season 3 suggest that while character arcs reach satisfying conclusions, the door is still open for more adventures. Bill Lawrence has hinted at this potential continuation, sharing that Easter eggs for season 4 have already been woven into the current storyline. He expressed confidence in the storytelling capabilities of the series, suggesting that there are still plenty of stories to explore if fans continue to embrace the characters.
As of now, Apple has not announced a renewal for a fourth season, but the show’s success makes it a likely candidate for future seasons. Fans can catch up on the first two seasons of “Shrinking” available on Apple TV, which operates on a $12.99 monthly subscription or via discounts through the Apple One bundle.
