Shrinking season 4 just added Jillian Bell and two more new faces to Harrison Ford’s therapy crew

Right, so Shrinking is back at it again. Apple TV keeps piling on the names, and if you thought the series didn’t already have enough familiar faces hanging round the therapist’s office, well — Season 4’s roster ought to settle that.

Shrinking returns for Season 4 with new cast members Jillian Bell, Dyllón Burnside, and Addie Weyrich joining the mix.

The New Recruits

Let’s start with the latest batch of arrivals: Jillian Bell (the one from 22 Jump Street and Kinda Pregnant), Dyllón Burnside (if you watched Pose or Monster, that’ll ring a bell), and Addie Weyrich (Mahogany Drive, Crush). No official word yet on who they’ll be playing, but they’re all set for recurring roles, so expect to see them pop up more than once.

Bell, Burnside and Weyrich are just the tip of it. Judith Light was already announced as a recurring player for this next series, so that makes four new regulars before you even get to the inevitable parade of guest stars.

The Familiar Crowd (and a Few Surprises)

Don’t worry, the main crew isn’t going anywhere. Harrison Ford is back as the dry-as-dust Dr. Paul Rhoades — his two Emmy nods don’t exactly hurt, do they — and Jason Segel leads as Jimmy, the therapist who stopped pretending to have boundaries quite some time ago. Jessica Williams returns as well, with the rest of the regulars sticking around: Christa Miller, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, and Ted McGinley all headlining Season 4.

• Expect Christian Slater and Karen Gillan in the lineup.
• Guest appearances: Brett Goldstein (co-creator, pulling double duty), Damon Wayans Jr., Wendie Malick, and Cobie Smulders.
• Also cropping up are Jeff Daniels, Michael J. Fox, Candice Bergen, Sherry Cola, and Isabella Gomez.

So, if you’re hoping for a bit of star-spotting, you shouldn’t be disappointed. It’s almost enough to turn your weekly therapy session into a full cast table read.

Behind the Scenes & Story

For anyone out of the loop, Shrinking follows Jimmy Laird — Segel’s therapist trying to clamber out of a deep rut after losing his wife, then promptly upending ethical practice altogether by telling patients what he really thinks (and not in the gentle way). Harrison Ford’s character, Paul, serves as Jimmy’s mentor and, let’s be honest, occasional adult supervision.

The show is the brainchild of Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Segel, with Warner Bros. Television producing for Apple TV. Still no details on what the Season 4 storyline will actually look like — or when it will drop — but, given that the guest star list keeps growing, you can probably expect a few more subplots than usual.

If you need to catch up, all three previous seasons are currently streaming on Apple TV.
