According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ford has signed on to star opposite Jason Segel in “Shrinking,” a new show from the producers of “Ted Lasso,” Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, as well as Segel himself.
The show, which was announced last October, follows a therapist (played by Segel) who starts breaking the rules and telling his clients what he thinks of them — what a concept! Though it goes very much against his training and any ethical code, his decision ends up making big changes to people’s lives, even his own.
As for Ford, he is set to play Dr. Phil Rhodes, referred to as a “blue-collar shrink” who is down to earth and sharp, as well as a pioneer in cognitive behavioral therapy. He has found some success and shares a practice space with his two proteges Jimmy (Segel) and Gaby. But a Parkinson’s diagnosis forces Rhodes out of his comfort zone and into dealing with estranged family, intrusive friends, and his legacy.
This is not the first time Ford almost starred in a TV series as a regular member of the cast. Back in 2019, it was announced that Ford would star as Michael Peterson in the TV adaptation of “The Staircase” but the final TV show is set to debut later this year with Colin Firth as the character.
The 10-episode comedy series “Shrinking” doesn’t have a release date yet.
