Luke Tennie discusses upcoming Apple TV+ show "Shrinking"

Apple TV+

Shrinking debuts on Apple TV+ on January 27. This new show written by Ted Lasso's own Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence focuses on Jimmy (Jason Segel) as he is struggling to grieve the loss of his wife while being a dad, friend, and therapist. He decides to try a new approach with everyone in his path: unfiltered, brutal honesty.

Craig was given the opportunity to speak with Luke Tennie, who plays Sean in the show. This is a great conversation about his inspiration to get into acting, the large role his family plays in his life and much more. Any Ted Lasso fan will enjoy this chat.

Craig McFarland has been podcasting for over a decade as part of The Front Row Network. He’s the co-host of Beyond the Mouse, a Disney-focused podcast, and Peanut Butter and Biscuits, a show dedicated to all things Ted Lasso. Over the years, Craig has interviewed a wide range of guests, including Oscar winners, Olympians, acclaimed creators, actors, and more than a dozen Disney Legends.
