‘Shrinking’ (Season 2)

​​​​​​​

Following on from the huge success of the first installment, Shrinking Season 2 will continue to follow Jason Segel‘s therapist Jimmy in the aftermath of his decision to throw caution to the wind and tell his clients what he actually thinks. Whilst mourning the loss of his wife, Jimmy will endeavor to keep building the relationship with his daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell), as the exploration of grief through the lens of an intelligent comedy helps keep Shrinking on everyone’s minds.

Executive produced by Bill Lawrence, the co-creator of Ted Lasso and Scrubs, Shrinking exploded into life back in January 2023, impressing both critics and the public alike and even earning two nominations at the Primetime Emmys: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Segel and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Jessica Williams.

‘Before’

The six-time Primetime Emmy winner Billy Crystal stars in the brand-new Before, a touching tale of loss and love. Crystal plays Eli, a psychiatrist mourning the loss of his wife who meets a troubled young boy by the name of Noah (Jacob Jupe). Together, the two become strangely close, with the boy unlocking startling memories kept hidden in the corners of Eli’s mind.
