# Apple TV+ Orders Third Season of “Shrinking”: What to Anticipate
This week, Apple TV+ has captured attention not just by releasing the highly awaited second season of its popular series **Shrinking** but also by announcing an early extension for a third season. This move highlights the platform’s strong belief in the series’ potential and its dedication to providing quality programming for its subscribers.
## Season 3 Will Conclude the Original “Shrinking” Narrative
In a recent update shared through its official account on X (previously Twitter), Apple confirmed the return of **Shrinking** for a third season. This announcement coincides with the premiere of the first two episodes of season 2, which have already received positive reactions from both audiences and critics.
The first episode of season 2 concludes with a cliffhanger that promises to lead into an enticing continuation of the narrative. Critics have commended the new season, noting that it retains the charm and emotional complexity that contributed to the success of the initial season.
## What Is “Shrinking” About?
For those unfamiliar with the series, **Shrinking** is a comedy-drama that centers on a grieving therapist who chooses to break away from traditional therapy rules. Rather than strictly following his training and ethical guidelines, he starts to openly share his thoughts with his clients, resulting in meaningful changes in their lives—and his own. The show is the creation of Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, the latter famed for portraying Roy Kent in the celebrated series **Ted Lasso**.
### A Vision for Three Seasons
Bill Lawrence has indicated that **Shrinking** was envisioned with a three-season narrative in mind. The early renewal for the third season provides the creators the opportunity to fully execute their vision and conclude the storyline satisfactorily. This strategy has been warmly embraced by fans, as it points to a commitment to character growth and narrative richness.
## The Outlook for “Shrinking” and Other Ventures
As **Shrinking** continues to engage viewers, fans are also optimistic about the future of other ventures from Lawrence, like **Bad Monkey**, which is rumored to have its own three-season framework. The triumph of **Shrinking** could lead to more inventive storytelling on Apple TV+.
### Where to Watch
