AppleTV+ Offers First Look Footage From 'The Shrink Next Door' Series Starring Will Ferrell & Paul Rudd, 'Ted Lasso' S2 & More

The streaming wars are fully upon us, and as summer goes into full swing, AppleTV+ is starting to flex its wares. Today, the streamer unveiled an exclusive preview of new series and films coming to Apple TV+ now through Fall 2021. The clip features first looks at things like “The Morning Show” season two, “Ted Lasso” season two, more footage of their expensive sci-fi “Foundation” Isaac Asimov series adaptation, and, perhaps most interesting to us, the upcoming series “The Shrink Next Door.”

The series hails from director Michael Showalter (“The Big Sick,” “The Lovebirds”), writer Georgia Pritchett (“Succession,” “Veep”), but perhaps most importantly stars the lead trio of Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, and Kathryn Hahn (“WandaVision,” “Mrs. Fletcher”).

An Apple limited series, “The Shrink Next Door,” is based on the hit podcast by Wondery and Bloomberg Media and is inspired by true events. ‘The Shrink Next Door” details the bizarre relationship between psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf, played by Rudd, and his longtime patient Martin “Marty” Markowitz, played by Ferrell. Over the course of their relationship, the all-too-charming Ike slowly inserts himself into Marty’s life, even moving into his Hamptons home and persuading Marty to name him president of the family business. The series explores how a seemingly normal doctor-patient dynamic morphs into an exploitative relationship filled with manipulation, power grabs, and dysfunction at its finest. Sounds like gold to us.

No word when the series hits, but it’s either later this summer or the fall.

Also featured in the teaser video, new footage and clips from “See” S2, “Truth Be Told” S2, “Schmigadoon!,” “Mr. Corman,” “Trying” S2, “Physical,” “CODA,” “Invasion,” already released films like “Greyhound,” “Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry,” “Palmer,” “Cherry, “The Banker,” “Wolfwalkers,” “The Year Earth Changed,” “On the Rocks,” the just-released series “Lisey’s Story,” “Doug Unplugs,” “The Snoopy Show,” “Stillwater,” “Wolfboy” and the “Everything Factory,” “Puppy Place,” and many more.
