In Shrinking on Apple TV, Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) deals with the death of his wife by resolving to become more involved in his patients' lives. The popular series was created by Bill Lawrence (Scrubs), Segel and Brett Goldstein. So, when can you expect the release date for Shrinking Season 3 to arrive?

The Shrinking Season 3 release date is January 28, 2026 on Apple TV. It has been a little over a year since the show's second season concluded on December 24, 2024. Shrinking Season 3 will consist of eleven episodes released on a weekly basis, with the season finale arriving on April 8, 2026. And naturally, Shrinking Season 3 is just one of the TV and streaming release dates you'll need to keep track of this spring. Here's the official trailer for Shrinking Season 3:

The third season of Shrinking will feature the return of some favorite characters, including Dr. Paul Rhoades (Harrison Ford), Dr. Julie Baram (Wendie Mallik) and Gaby (Jessica Williams). Plus, the third season of Shrinking will also introduce an incredibly exciting guest star: the legendary actor Michael J. Fox, who hasn't appeared much on-screen in the past few years. This isn't the first time Fox has appeared on a show created by Lawrence, either, having previously guest-starred on Scrubs.

The release date for Shrinking Season 3 on Apple TV is January 28, 2026.
