Shrinking season 4 spoilers: Michael J. Fox confirms return
We have felt for a good while that we would be seeing Michael J. Fox back again for Shrinking season 4 but at the same time, isn’t it nice to now have the news be official?
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Back to the Future star and Parkinson’s activist confirmed that he will be back for another chapter as Gerry, a relatively normal guy with Parkinson’s who forms an unexpected bond with Paul as he takes on the disease. He was in a handful of season 3 episodes and given his relationship with executive producer Bill Lawrence dating back to Shrinking, it made total sense to have a reunion here.

Beyond just confirming his season 4 return, Fox also details to the aforementioned site getting a chance to work with an icon like Harrison Ford:
“He was happy that I was sharing my experience with him as a character and helping him do what he needed to do … He was so loving. I didn’t know what to expect with Harrison because he’s famously a stoic, curmudgeonly guy — and he’s really a sweetheart. He was so affectionate to me and so welcoming to me.”
We do tend to think that Fox could be around on Shrinking now for however long he wants. While there is no season 5 confirmed at present over at Apple TV, all signs point to it continuing. In between the show’s quality and its performance, why wouldn’t the powers-that-be fight to keep telling these stories for as long as they can? (We tend to think that season 4 will arrive at some point next year.)
