Apple TV+’s Shrinking: Advance Screening and A Conversation

with Co-Creators Jason Segel and Brett Goldstein
Jason Segel and Brett Goldstein
Online tickets are for the Talk only. They do not include the screening. Talk begins at approximately 8 pm ET.

Shrinking follows a grieving therapist (played by Emmy Award nominee Jason Segel) who starts to break the rules, telling 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. Created by Emmy Award winners Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Bad Monkey), Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso) and Segel, the series also stars multi-award winner Harrison Ford.

On the eve of its highly-anticipated season two debut, please join us for a special screening, followed by an insightful conversation with both Goldstein and Segel. Together, they will dive into the creative process that goes into producing the kind of compelling and engaging television that resonates with audiences around the globe, and will share behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the second season of Shrinking.

Goldstein will next star as the lead opposite Imogen Poots in All Of You for which he also co-wrote alongside director William Bridges. The heart-wrenching drama, which is a story of wistful love and lives not lived, will have its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. He has additionally wrapped production on the latest drama from acclaimed Hungarian filmmaker Kornél Mundruczó, At The Sea, alongside Amy Adams and Murray Bartlett. Goldstein is the creator and executive producer of the Apple TV+ cathartic comedy Shrinking alongside Jason Segel and Bill Lawrence, which will return for its second season on October 16. This follows his Emmy award-winning performance as the brash yet lovable Roy Kent in the Apple TV+ record-breaking series Ted Lasso for which he is also a co-executive producer and writer on. Goldstein is coming off the heels of headlining his first-ever standup comedy tour, The Second Best Night Of Your Life, which sold out venues across the US and Canada with multiple night runs. The tour de force also hosts the iHeartRadio award-winning podcast, Films To Be Buried With, which finds him in candid conversation with special guests as they discuss the films that have shaped them. He has no time for dinner.
