Shrinking Season 3 Adds Emmy Winner As New Character With Major Ties To Jimmy
Jimmy helps his patients in unorthodox ways.
An Emmy Award-winning actor has been cast to play the dad of Jimmy (Jason Segel) in Shrinking. The Apple TV+ series is set to return for season 3 as Jimmy continues to help his patients with unorthodox methods. In addition to Segel, Shrinking's star-studded cast includes Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Luke Tennie, Lukita Maxwell, Michael Urie, and Ted McGinley. Brett Goldstein, who co-created the series along with Segel and Bill Lawrence, also joined the cast in season 2.
As per Deadline, Emmy Award winner Jeff Daniels is joining the cast to play Jimmy's dad in Shrinking season 3. He will have a guest arc in the upcoming season. While Daniels has starred in comedy movies like Dumb and Dumber, Shrinking is the actor's first significant role in a live-action comedy series. Most of his television roles have been in dramas, including The Newsroom and the Netflix miniseries Godless, both of which won him Emmy Awards.
What This Means For Shrinking Season 3While Jimmy has briefly mentioned his dad before, little is known about him, and he has never been in the series. That is set to change with Daniels debuting as the character in Shrinking season 3. Getting to know Jimmy's dad will provide more insight into Jimmy, his childhood, and the unresolved issues he has been dealing with even before the tragic loss of his wife Tia (Lilan Bowden). As the grandfather of Jimmy's daughter, Alice (Maxwell), Daniels' character is also set to have an impact on her in season 3.

Jimmy's dad will hopefully get to share scenes with Paul (Ford) as well. Paul is Jimmy's mentor and is a paternal figure to him. Seeing Paul take on this role may be difficult for Jimmy's dad to accept and could lead to him being jealous. Paul is unafraid to tell people harsh truths, though, and if he sees Jimmy's dad being jealous or insecure, Paul will not mince words about needing to get that behavior under control, and to not let that frustration be taken out on Jimmy.
Our Take On Jeff Daniels Joining ShrinkingHe Is A Perfect Addition To The Apple TV+ SeriesMost Shrinking reviews praise the show's ability to balance its heartfelt drama and comedy. As an actor who is experienced and skilled in both genres, Daniels is an excellent addition to the cast. In terms of the story, I am curious to learn why Jimmy's dad has been absent from seasons 1 and 2 while his son has been grieving. I expect there will initially be some tension between Jimmy and his dad, but they will inevitably reconcile and get their relationship in a better place by the time Daniels' guest arc ends in Shrinking season 3.
It May Be The Show's Last OpportunityLawrence has previously discussed Shrinking's three-season plan, although he is open to doing a fourth season if Apple TV+ is interested in seeing the story continue further. If season 3 does become the end of the show, it could be the last opportunity to incorporate Jimmy's dad into the story. That makes it all the more important for Jimmy's dad to be introduced this season while the series can do so, as there are no plans in place for season 4.
Paul is the paternal figure who has been there for Jimmy since Tia passed away, and now Jimmy's dad can step up when his son and Paul can use his support.
In terms of the story, season 2 saw Paul's Parkinson's disease symptoms getting worse, which will be one of the main storylines in season 3. As Paul struggles, his challenges will have a significant impact on Jimmy as well. Jimmy can benefit from having his dad around, even if it's only temporarily, to support him and Paul as the latter's health declines. Paul is the paternal figure who has been there for Jimmy since Tia passed away, and now Jimmy's dad can step up when his son and Paul can use his support.

Both Sean (Tennie) and Brian (Urie) have had their fathers be part of the show and have improved the previously strained relationships they had with them. With Jimmy being the protagonist, it is time for his dad to also be introduced, and for the father and son to work through their relationship before Shrinking ends. Sean and Brian may even be able to give Jimmy advice based on the experiences they had with their dads in seasons 1 and 2.
