Shrinking stars Miller along with Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams, while Miller’s husband Bill Lawrence is one of the show’s writers

Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel and Brett Goldstein’s highly acclaimed Apple TV series Shrinking is on a roll. The comedy drama starring Segel alongside Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Christa Miller and more, follows Jimmy Laird (Segel), a therapist at the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Centre who starts getting a little too involved in his patients’ lives after losing his wife. The show, which is currently on its third season, has received several Emmy nominations and is the most-watched TV show on Apple TV+ at the time of writing.

Notably, episodes two and three of season three were directed by Zach Braff, marking the actor’s reunion with his Scrubs co-star Miller ahead of the medical show’s revival. “Zach is one of my favourite directors,” Miller, who plays Liz in Shrinking, told Yahoo! Canada. “Zach doesn’t have an ego, so he’s like, try this, if it doesn’t work … your way’s better. Bill [Lawrence] is also like that.”
