Jason Segel, who plays Jimmy in Shrinking, is teasing his character that he is ready for a relationship.
This comes in contrast to the central premise of the show, where the actor played a therapist in the grief of his wife’s sudden passing.
“Yeah, I do,” he told Variety. “I think that this funny thing happens where when you’re doing a lot of personal work that’s solo, you get to a point where you’re like, I am ready to date.”
“And then you try, and you’re like, I was wrong. That’s been my experience. So I think he’ll probably deal with that a bit,” the star added.
When pressed to share details, Jason said he would not comment on whether his character would have any romantic sparks with his co-worker Gaby (Jessica Williams), with whom he flirted a bit in the series.
“I can’t talk about that one because I don’t know quite what’s going to happen,” the 45-year-old joked. “As one of the executive producers and writers on the show, I have no idea.”
The Come Sunday alum also revealed Jeff Daniels will appear in season three as Jimmy’s dad.
It is relevant to mention that work on Shrinking season 3 is ongoing.
