The latest Shrinking season 3 continues the Apple TV+ comedy's tradition of bringing in some major guest stars. The installment will feature two-time Emmy winner Jeff Daniels, as the father of Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel), in addition to screen legends such as Michael J. Fox and Candice Bergen. Another familiar face will be appearing, though they've already made their debut.
Asked about whether Segel's How I Met Your Mother co-star Cobie Smulders will return for Shrinking season 3, TVLine confirms that Smulders is set to reprise her role as Sofi, which she played for one episode. It is also mentioned that the episodes will focus on the overall theme of "moving forward."
What This Means For Shrinking Season 3
Sofi Was Jimmy's Potential Love Interest
Smulders ed the Shrinking season 2 cast as a woman whom Jimmy and Derek (Ted McGinley) consider purchasing a car from. Though her appearance is brief, limited to just the season's tenth episode, it's hard to miss the sparks that fly between Jimmy and Sofi. The show is obviously positioning the former How I Met Your Mother cohorts as potential love interests, but Jimmy is reluctant to fully open himself up to new romantic possibilities. Sofi may well feel the same, albeit viewers don't learn too much about her.
Michael J. Fox's New Shrinking Season 3 Role Creates A Long-Awaited Reunion For His 29-Year-Old Sitcom That Won Him An Emmy
Michael J. Fox will be ing the cast of Apple TV's Shrinking in season 3, which means an exciting reunion with the creator of his hit 1996 sitcom.
The third installment of the Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ series will be fairly stacked. Bergen is something of a TV legend, thanks to her portrayal of Murphy Brown. Fox has a bevy of memorable credits, ranging from Back to the Future to Spin City and his recurring arc on The Good Wife. Still, Smulders' return as Sofi may well be the most important because of what it could mean for Jimmy's evolution.
Our Take On Smulders' Return As Sofi
It Will Be Interesting To See If She Sticks Around
Following the Shrinking season 2 finale, in which Jimmy takes a major step in letting go of the anger he feels about his wife's death, there is a major chance for the show to highlight Jimmy's efforts to go in a new direction. Sofi may be a big part of that, even if she only appears in a single episode. The hit comedy doesn't have a return date yet, but Smulders' return makes it one more thing worth watching for. In any case, it makes up for the relatively few scenes that Robin and Marshall shared on HIMYM.
