Apple TV+ has renewed the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-nominated comedy “Shrinking” for a third season.

It is definitely safe to say that television fans everywhere, are a bit nervous about the future of their favorite shows at the moment, and rightfully so. Simply because, this past year has been brutal when it comes to cancellations. Since we’ve seen so many amazing shows go off the air via abrupt cancellation, for all kinds of reasons.

Simply because the streamer continues to offer up early season renewals for some of their most beloved shows. For earlier this week, they renewed Slow Horses for a sixth season and earlier today, Shrinking received a third season order, mere days after its second season premiere. Which is wonderful news that will allow for Jimmy’s healing journey to continue, and hopefully it’s a sign that the tide is about to turn when it comes to cancellations.
