Jeff Daniels will guest-star in Season 3 of Apple TV+‘s Shrinking, playing Jimmy’s (Jason Segel) father. Details of how Jimmy’s dad is introduced on the show are being kept under-wraps for now. Shrinking will be Daniels’ first on-screen role in a comedy series.
Daniels, a two-time Emmy winner, joins a cast that also includes Harrison Ford, Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley; co-creator Brett Goldstein recurred in Season 2.
Jimmy is a therapist mourning the death of his wife Tia (Lilan Bowden) and raising his teen daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell), while getting support from his colleagues Paul (Harrison Ford) and Gaby (Jessica Williams), as well as neighbors Liz (Christa Miller) and Derek (Ted McGinley). Season 2 ended with Jimmy forgiving the drunk driver (Goldstein) who caused the accident that left him widowed, and for how he had previously handled his relationship with his daughter, Alice.
