Shrinking season 2, the Jason Segel and Harrison Ford’s hit comedy series, is back on Apple TV+ this year. The new season of the Emmy-nominated series premiered on October 16, 2024. The show continues to follow the life of Jimmy Laird, a therapist at the fictional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center.
After the loss of his wife in a drunk driving accident, Jimmy could not process his grief and resorted to an unorthodox therapeutic approach: telling his clients exactly what he thought. This newfound honesty did transform the lives of his patients but also brought along a myriad of unfiltered emotions, surprising connections, humor, and complications.
The soundtrack for Shrinking season 2 is one of the highlights of the show and sets the tone for each episode. Notably, Christa Miller, who plays Liz, is Shrinking’s music supervisor shared her thoughts about the show's music.

In an interview with Decider, Christa Miller talked about her favorite music moment from season 2 in an interview with Decider.
She said:
“I’m really excited about one scene that was really tricky to do because we had to go from the end of one scene that has one feeling to a totally other scene where Lukita is having some sort of breakdown.”
She further added:
“I was able to find a song, and I found it when I was sitting with my husband [Shrinking creator Bill Lawrence]. It came on by this artist, who I loved, named Angie McMahon. It’s called Letting Go.”
Created by Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel, and Brett Goldstein, Shrinking debuted on Apple TV+ in 2023. The show gained critical acclaim for its writing and performances in the first season and was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards.
The show features an ensemble cast, including Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, Christa Miller, and Ted McGinley. The co-creator of the show, Brett Goldstein, also joined the cast of season 2.
The first season has 10 episodes, and the second season will have 12 episodes. Seven episodes from the second season have been released so far. Shrinking season 2 finale will air on December 25, 2024. The show has also been renewed for a third season.
