‘The Shrink Next Door’ is a psychological Black comedy-drama that has received a lot of attention. Based on a podcast, the series stars Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Is there a season 2 of ‘The Shrink Next Door’ on the cards yet?
Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd starrer ‘The Shrink Next Door’ aired its finale this week. The Apple TV+ miniseries is a psychological Black comedy-drama that is based on a podcast by Joe Nocera. It tells the real-life story of a psychiatrist named Dr Isaac Herschkopf, who was known for his highly irregular methods in the psychiatry world. The series follows Isaac as he insinuates himself into Martin Markowitz’s life, who happens to be one of his patients. The series takes several creative liberties from real-life incidents and dramatizes them to a great effect. The miniseries was met with decent critical acclaim. It also developed a loyal fanbase during its runtime and now that the first season has ended, there is the question of continuation. Is season 2 of ‘The Shrink Next Door’ anywhere close to becoming a possibility?
Highlights —
- ‘The Shrink Next Door’ Netflix
- ‘The Shrink Next Door’ episodes
- ‘The Shrink Next Door’ Season 2
Well, let’s just say that the odds aren’t favourable. Since it’s a mini-series, it ends with a limited number of episodes. Also, the series closed with a satisfying ending. Markowitz finally meets his sister after decades of silence and the doctor is reported to the authorities. Thus, the dark, dark series ended on a somewhat good note. But that didn’t stop the fans from demanding a second season. But the whole idea of new episodes of ‘The Shrink Next Door’ seems quite bleak at the moment.

But there is always a ray of hope. If the show’s successful enough, the possibilities are endless. For one, many patients of Isaac were featured in the first season. Hence, the writers can pick one of them and go back into the time to tell us another story of a highly ‘unusual’ treatment method the doctor adopts to treat his psychologically distressed patients. In the podcast, several patients were mentioned, which might give the show’s writers a good idea to work with.

If a second season does happen, it might be completely unrelated to the first season. Since we saw a closing of Markowitz’s story, played by Will Ferrell, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see the actor in the second season. One of the major highlights of the first season was the chemistry between two comedy stars. Without one of them, we wonder how the show would turn out.
‘The Shrink Next Door’ Season 2
Even if season 2 of ‘The Shrink Next Door’ was announced, let’s say this week, we’d still have to wait quite a long time to watch the show. It might take more than a year to reach our homes. Plus, the standards set by the first season, which was based on a limited podcast, will not be easy to meet.
Let’s see what the future holds. The final episode streamed a few days ago and the miniseries has still a long way to prove its mettle, to compel the makers to even consider the possibility of a second season.
