For Shrinking fans, Wednesdays usually mean an all-new episode of the Apple TV+ original series. But with Thanksgiving here and the holiday season officially underway, it can often mean a break in regularly scheduled programming for TV specials and festive mainstays. (Ahem, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, football, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, etc.). So, is Shrinking new on Nov. 27, 2024? Get the answer, ahead. 

‘Shrinking’ is all new on Nov. 27, 2024

Get excited, Shrinking fans, because a new episode airs on Nov. 27, 2024. Just like in previous weeks, a new installment begins streaming on Apple TV+ in the early hours of Wednesday morning, according to the streamer. Specifically 3 a.m. EST or 12 a.m. PT. 

This time around, it’s an episode titled “Last Drink.” Without giving much away, the Nov. 27 episode of Shrinking involves flashbacks to three years ago shortly before and after the death of Jimmy’s (Jason Segel) wife, Tia (Lilan Bowden). 

It includes heartwarming moments between Jimmy, Tia, and Alice (Lukita Maxwell) as well as a closer look at the life Louis (Brett Goldstein) led before he got behind the wheel leading up to Tia’s death. 

Meanwhile, in the present, Derek (Ted McGinley) and Liz (Christa Miller) get some visitors. Paul (Harrison Ford) hits a new milestone with Sean (Luke Tennie) there for support, and Derek turns to Gaby (Jessica Williams) for advice. 

What happened in the previous episode of ‘Shrinking’

As for where Shrinking left off in the previous episode on Nov. 20, 2024, a lot happened in Pasadena, California, for Jimmy, Alice, Liz, Derek, Sean, Brian (Michael Urie), Paul, and Gaby.

Jimmy was surprised—not in a good way—after a day of “Jimmying” when he saw his daughter and longtime best friend laughing over dinner with Louis. Liz came clean to Derek (Ted McGinley) about kissing Mac (Josh Hopkins) after getting advice from Paul. 

Gaby and Derrick No. 2 (Damon Wayans Jr.) tried to go on a first date again. Later, they helped Brian and his husband, Charlie (Devin Kawaoka), be honest with each other about adopting a baby—they want the usual nine months to prepare. 

Meanwhile, Sean turned to Jimmy, Paul, and Jimmy’s patient, Dan (Mike C. Nelson), as a sounding board for meeting up with his old Army pal. Alice also made up with her bestie, Summer (Rachel Stubington), after their fight— “Ranchgate”— in the high school cafeteria.  

‘Shrinking’ Season 2 is winding down

Sorry, Shrinking fans. Season 2 is on its way to being over. (All good things must end eventually, right?) It’s well past the halfway mark with four of the season’s 12 episodes remaining. 

On a more positive note, however, look out for new episodes of Shrinking throughout December. Installments are still slated to drop weekly as the holiday season continues. And, of course, there’s always the option of re-watching season 1 in between new episodes of season 2. 

Shrinking is streaming on Apple TV+.
