HIMYM Reunion CONFIRMED! Segel & Smulders Back Together?!

by

In the second installment of “Shrinking”, there were plenty of hearty chuckles, numerous emotional moments, and an unexpected reunion from “How I Met Your Mother“. Starring Jason Segel, who was known for his role as Marshall Erikson on “HIMYM”, the Apple TV+ series finds him portraying Jimmy Laird, a therapist struggling to move on after the sudden demise of his wife. The second season featured an intriguing appearance by Cobie Smulders, another cast member from “HIMYM”, as Sofi, who sells a car to Jimmy’s daughter. Although some viewers assumed this would be a one-time guest spot, it seems that the show has bigger plans for Sofi in the upcoming third season.

As a movie enthusiast, I had the pleasure of attending a panel with the cast of the intriguing series “Shrinking”. During this gathering, Christa Miller (Liz in “Shrinking”) and Jason Segel shared some exciting news about the upcoming third season. They confirmed that Cobie Smulders will rejoin the show’s narrative, marking a significant event for Segel, who expressed his long-standing affection for her.

In an interesting twist, Segel mentioned that although he and Cobie Smulders shared the screen for a decade on “How I Met Your Mother”, their characters didn’t have a strong connection. This time around in “Shrinking”, they aim to rectify that by deepening the relationship between their characters. Segel added: “I finally got to work with Cobie today, who I’ve been smitten with for so long.

For a decade, Cobie and I collaborated side by side. However, due to my character’s marital status on the show and numerous episodes focusing on singleness and seeking relationships, Cobie and I didn’t share many storylines together. Despite this, I’ve always yearned for the opportunity to work with her. Recently, I revisited a particular scene, and it struck me, “Ah, we managed to create something unique together.

After Smulders made an appearance in Season 2, viewers eagerly urged the show’s makers, Brett Goldstein, Bill Lawrence, and Jason Segel, to consider Sofi as a possible love interest for Jimmy. While long-time How I Met Your Mother fans might find it unusual with Marshall and Robin pairing up, Shrinking supporters are fully on board with this idea.

‘Shrinking’ Season 3 Features Some Gigantic Names

The show “Shrinking” boasts an impressive ensemble, with Segel and Miller joined by Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Ted McGinley, Wendie Malick, Heidi Gardner, and none other than Harrison Ford! Additionally, Cobie Smulders was introduced in Season 2, and Brett Goldstein’s character Louis played a significant role in the death of Jimmy’s wife following a drunk driving accident.

In the third season of the series, the stakes are being raised significantly by bringing in two highly renowned actors to challenge Harrison Ford. Last year, it was disclosed that Jeff Daniels, known for his roles in “Dumb & Dumber,” “Speed,” and “The Newsroom,” will be joining the cast of “Shrinking” for Season 3. More recently, Michael J. Fox, famed for his role in “Back to the Future,” has also been confirmed to appear on the show. Although details about Fox’s character are yet to be disclosed, it is expected that his role will somehow relate to Harrison Ford’s storyline as both characters have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The release date for Season 3 of “Shrinking” hasn’t been finalized, but filming is currently underway.
