Shrinking Season 3 Adds Candice Bergen and Hollywood Legends to Star-Studded Cast

A well-known, honored actor is slated to be part of the already renowned cast for season 3 of “Shrinking”. This Apple TV+ gem has gained popularity as one of the most touching, amusing, and healing shows currently on streaming platforms. The star-studded cast, which includes heavyweights like Jason Segel from “How I Met Your Mother” and none other than Harrison Ford, is already a draw for viewers, and things are about to get even more appealing.

Previously, it was announced that Michael J. Fox, known for his roles in ‘Back to the Future’ and ‘Family Ties’, will make a guest appearance in ‘Shrinking’ season 3. This is quite a nostalgic moment for both the actor and co-creator Bill Lawrence, as they worked together on ‘Spin City’ in the late ’90s. More recently, at this year’s ATX Television Festival, Lawrence hinted that Candice Bergen, a five-time Emmy winner famously known for shows and films like ‘Murphy Brown’, ‘Boston Legal’, and ‘Miss Congeniality’, will also be part of ‘Shrinking’ season 3.

Lawrence praised Fox, saying, “He’s among the most remarkable individuals I’ve encountered. He’s been a mentor to me. Incredibly inspiring, the way he lives his life. To have him back on set, working with him… I hadn’t anticipated career peaks this early in my journey, and just recently, I was on set alongside Harrison Ford, Mike Fox, and Candice Bergen – but I must warn, a surprise!

What Candice Bergen’s Role In Shrinking Season 3 Could Be

Which Character Will She Be Attached To?

Lawrence didn’t disclose further details about Bergen’s character on ATX, but there are many potential scenarios. It’s possible that she could appear as a patient for Jimmy (Segel), Paul (Ford), or Gaby (Jessica Williams). Given Jimmy’s history, some of his patients have significantly influenced the show’s narrative and his personal growth, so this could be an interesting direction.

It appears that Lawrence hinted at the actress being present with Fox and Ford on set, suggesting a possible connection between her character and Paul. Given their ages, such a connection would align well with the narrative. If the show chooses to intertwine Paul’s Parkinson’s diagnosis with Fox’s role, it’s plausible that Bergen could become an integral part of this storyline.

Our Take On Shrinking Season 3’s Cast

The Cast Just Keeps Getting Bigger And Better

Despite the fact that high-profile casts can appear like a promotional strategy, in the case of “Shrinking”, it’s quite the contrary. Each actor in the series seems tailor-made for their role, creating an impressive harmony. With a blend of established Hollywood stars, seasoned character actors, comedic talents, and promising newcomers, there’s never a sense that someone has been brought onto the show merely for fame. I’m confident Fox will continue to shine, as always, and Bergen, whose extensive TV career is self-explanatory, will add to the series’ appeal.

Previously this year, it was disclosed that renowned actor Jeff Daniels, best known for his roles in comedies such as “Dumb and Dumber” and dramas like “The Newsroom”, would be part of the cast as Jimmy’s father. Additionally, Sherry Cola from “Nobody Wants This” and Isabella Gomez from “One Day at a Time” are also joining the cast for season 3 of “Shrinking”. Regardless of their roles in the upcoming season, these new additions will undoubtedly blend seamlessly with the rest of the cast.
