Yesterday, the season 2 premiere of Shrinking debuted on Apple TV+, and today, the streamer wasted no time in picking up the series for a third season.
“I’m so lucky to work on ‘Shrinking’ with actors, writers and a crew so talented that they all elevate the material,” said co-creator and executive producer Bill Lawrence. “I’m even luckier that they are people I’d want to spend time with anyway. Huge thanks to Apple TV+ and Warner Bros. for the amazing partnership and support. So grateful we get to keep making this show. Onward!”
Starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in one of his first television roles, “Shrinking” follows grieving therapist Jimmy (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 Emmy Award nominee Christa Miller, Emmy Award nominee Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley. Season two also features a guest star appearance by Brett Goldstein.
The first two episodes started streaming yesterday, and we will get a new episode every Wednesday until the season finale on Christmas Day.
Acapulco is a darling comedy about young and unrequited love that makes you fall in love with it. Because of that, Apple TV+ picked it up for a fourth season today.
“Having Apple order a fourth season of ‘Acapulco’ is beyond thrilling,” said star and executive producer Eugenio Derbez. “I’m incredibly grateful to our amazing partners, the talented cast and crew, and especially the audience, whose love and support have made this journey possible. It’s rare for shows centered on Latino stories to make it this far, and that makes this milestone even more meaningful. Representation matters, and continuing to share these vibrant stories on a global stage is something Ben Odell and I are deeply proud of. Thank you for helping us break barriers and celebrate our culture. We can’t wait to dive back into Las Colinas for more fun, laughter and heart with all of you!”
“We are so thankful to Apple and all our partners at Lionsgate for giving us the privilege to do another season of this hopeful, heartfelt, delightful show,” said creator and executive producer Austin Winsberg, and showrunner and executive producer Sam Laybourne. “Getting to a fourth season only happens when a show has an incredible team of actors, crew members and producers. We couldn’t be more excited to get back to Las Colinas and collaborate again with such a talented, hard-working and kind group of people.”
If you missed the first three seasons, I highly recommend the series that takes place at an Alcapulcan resort in the ’80s and today.
Loot is an endearing comedy on Apple TV+ that should not be as good as it is. But it is great, funny and full of heart.
The streaming service knows they have something special with the comedy, which stars Maya Rudolph as a billionaire who donates her money to help others and the people helping her do it, so they picked it up for a third season.
“We are thrilled to come back for a third season,” said Maya Rudolph and Danielle Renfrew Behrens of Banana Split Projects. “We’re extremely fortunate to spend more time with our talented cast and crew. Making this show with Apple TV+ has been a joy, and we can’t wait to reunite with our ‘Loot’ family.”
“With each season, ‘Loot’ continues to deliver joy, laughs and endearing characters for audiences around the world,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We are excited to partner with Maya Rudolph, and the entire cast and creative team behind ‘Loot,’ to create even more heartfelt moments with an ensemble of fan-favorite characters in season three.”
If you missed the first two seasons, stream them before season three airs. You will fall in love with it like everyone who watches it.
Apple TV+ has a hit on their hands with Palm Royale, So it would make sense that the streaming service would want more of the comedic retro soap opera. And today, they announced that we will be getting more episodes.
“‘Palm Royale’ has delighted global audiences and we are thrilled that viewers will have the opportunity to spend more time with this highly entertaining, iconic cast, from Kristen Wiig to the incomparable Carol Burnett,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We can’t wait for everyone to experience the next brilliantly witty chapter in the lives of the Palm Beach high society set that Abe Sylvia, Kristen, Laura Dern and this incredible team behind the show have brought so vibrantly to life.”
The show is about West Palm Beach high society in 1969. The season finale ended with a bang, so viewers like me can’t wait to find out what happens next.
Although I won’t be watching if Ricky Martin and Carol Burnett are no longer part of the series, they are the best part and the biggest reason to tune in.
Apple TV+ announced today that it picked up For All Mankind for a fifth season. But the good news did not stop there; the streamer is also adding a spinoff that takes it back to the beginning of the alternate timeline.
Star City is a propulsive paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race – when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humanity forward.
“Our fascination with the Soviet space program has grown with every season of ‘For All Mankind,’” said executive producers Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi. “The more we learned about this secret city in the forests outside Moscow where the Soviet cosmonauts and engineers worked and lived, the more we wanted to tell this story of the other side of the space race. We could not be more excited to continue building out the alternate history universe of ‘For All Mankind’ with our partners at Apple and Sony.”
So, what can we expect from the mothership? We don’t know yet, but it is going to get a whole lot more interesting as their timeline approaches ours. I’d love to see how the space program would handle COVID. Maybe we all go up to Mars to get away from it? Or perhaps they just never get coronavirus because their timeline is so much more advanced than ours. I mean, Al Gore was their President. Need I say more?
