Apple TV+ has released the official trailer for Shrinking, a new comedy from Scrubs and Ted Lasso creator Bill Lawrence and starring a stacked cast including Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Cougar Town‘s Christa Miller, and Deadly Class‘s Luke Tennie. In the series, Segel plays a troubled therapist who decides to start telling his patients the unvarnished truth — both a huge violation of standards and ethics, and also seemingly pretty impactful on their lives. The trailer doesn’t tell you much — basically just trots out the cast, who you see bouncing on a trampoline to the tune of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness.”

The series hails from Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence has an overall deal. He and Ted Lasso standout Brett Goldstein serve as executive producers on the show. It is the second psychiatrist comedy released on Apple TV+ in the last year, with the first being The Shrink Next Door, a movie starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd.

Here’s how Apple breaks down the series:

A new 10-episode comedy starring Jason Segel, and written by Emmy Award winning “Ted Lasso” co-creator Bill Lawrence, Emmy Award-winning “Ted Lasso” star, writer and co-executive producer Brett Goldstein and Segel. Also starring Harrison Ford in one of his first major television roles, “Shrinking” will premiere globally with the first two episodes on Friday, January 27, on Apple TV+, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.

Shrinking follows a grieving therapist (played by Segel) who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people’s lives … including his own.

In addition to Segel and Ford, Shrinking stars Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, Luke Tennie, and Lukita Maxwell.

The new series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence is under an overall deal, and Lawrence’s Doozer Productions. Lawrence, Segel, Goldstein, Neil Goldman, James Ponsoldt, Randall Winston, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer serve as executive producers. Lawrence, Segel, and Goldstein created the series and wrote the first episode, which was directed by Ponsoldt.
