"Shrinking" is an American comedy-drama television series created by Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel, and Brett Goldstein, starring Segel as a grieving therapist who decides to become drastically more involved in his patients' lives.

The series premiered to positive reviews, with praise for its performances, writing, humor, and examination of grief. The recipient of six Primetime Emmy Award nominations, the third season is looking to increase that, and one way might be through Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series, with Critics Choice Award Winner Michael Urie as Brian Lorenzo, Jimmy's (Segel) best friend, a lawyer.
