Co-creator of Shrinking will play a role in the second season of Shrinking

Co-creator and Ted Lasso actor Brett Goldstein will star in season two of Apple TV's Shrinking.

Shrinking follows grieving therapist Jimmy (Jason Segel) who starts breaking the rules and telling his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making major, tumultuous changes in people's lives... including his own.

In addition to Segel, the series stars Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Lukita Maxwell, Michael Urie, Luke Tennie and Ted McGinley.



Sources say there have been several attempts to have Goldstein (pictured) appear in the Apple TV+ dramedy, but all failed. When the perfect role came along - which is still top secret at the moment - he couldn't say no. He is announced as a guest star in season two, which is currently in production.

Segel and Williams recently earned individual Emmy Award nominations for their roles as therapists on the series.

Shrinking was created by Emmy Award winners and Ted Lasso executive producer Bill Lawrence and co-executive producer Brett Goldstein, and Segel. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence and Goldstein are under an overall agreement, and Lawrence's Doozer Productions.

Lawrence, Segel, Goldstein, Neil Goldman, James Ponsoldt, Randall Winston, Jeff Ingold, Liza Katzer, Rachna Fruchbom, Brian Gallivan and Annie Mebane serve as executive producers.

After finishing three seasons on Apple TV's Ted Lasso in the role of Roy Kent — which may or may not be the end of the Ted Lasso verse — Goldstein embarked on his first stand-up world tour, Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night or Your Life. He will go on tour in Los Angeles in May. For his role as Roy Kent, Goldstein won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

He will soon show off his voice acting skills in The Garfield Movie, which hits theaters May 24.
