‘Shrinking’ Season 3 Trailer: Michael J. Fox Returns to Acting, Joking About Parkinson’s Alongside Harrison Ford

The Season 3 trailer for the Apple TV+ comedy “Shrinking” teases Michael J. Fox’s return to acting after stepping away from his career in 2020 due to speech issues associated with his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

In the trailer, he’s shown in the waiting room of a medical facility sitting near Dr. Paul Rhoades (Harrison Ford).

“What are you in for?” asks Fox’s character, whose name is not yet known. “Parkinson’s. You?” Paul responds. Dryly, Fox says, “A haircut,” and they both laugh.

Ford’s character in “Shrinking” has had Parkinson’s since Season 1, though he initially tries to conceal it and the severity of his symptoms before being forced to tackle the disease head-on over time.

Fox’s casting in “Shrinking,” which was announced in May, reunites him with series creator Bill Lawrence, as Fox was the star of Lawrence’s ABC sitcom “Spin City” for four seasons until departing in 2000 because of Parkinson’s-related issues. Additionally, Fox had a memorable guest arc on “Scrubs,” also created by Lawrence.
