Bill Lawrence attempts to calm confused Shrinking the fandom by teasing a β€œtime jump” the fandom of Apple TV’s therapy comedy found themselves booking appointments over some ill-advised tweets about next season β€˜s co-creator, Bill Lawrence. Matt Schimkowitz β€” By Matt Schimkowitz | | 12:24am Courtesy of Apple TV News News Shrinking Copy to clipboard Γ— Copy Link Copy Link β€” Facebook X Reddit Bluesky Email β€” 0 The third season of Apple TVs Shrinking comes to an end this week, and with it, the three-season arc co-creator Bill Lawrence initially plotted. (let that sink in)

But, rest assured, all the psychologically fragile characters you know and love will return, despite what Bill Lawrence will tell you on X, the Everything app.

The Details

Over the weekend, Lawrence sent the Shrinking community running for the couch after some misinterpreted a post of his about next season , which reads, excited to start completely new story next year. The tweet led some the fandom to believe that the show would move in an entirely different direction with the same cast playing new characters.

Frankly, that would be some fr outside-the-box thinking from Lawrence, and not exactly the type of thing we expect from his good-natured, emotionally intelligent comedy. Though he rn has Rooster on HBO Max, Scrubs on Hulu, and a returning Ted Lasso on Apple TV, Lawrence spent Saturday fielding questions from the fandom over what he meant by Shrinking s completely new story.

Why This Matters

Of several exchanges, Lawrence was sending tired posts like Maybe lets all go outside? Ultimately, he explains that he pitched Shrinking as a three-season arc, but much like Ted Lasso , just because the story is ending, that doesnt mean there cant be more to watch. Speaking to Variety , Lawrence clarified what he meant the show would feature the EXACT same cast numerous times.

This is exactly the kind of news that gets fans excited or concerned.

The Bottom Line

Speaking to Variety , Lawrence clarified what he meant the show would feature the EXACT same cast numerous times.
